Thanks Miss Judy

Actually that's my profession for the day job, programming websites (front end and back end). I've been doing this stuff for 8 years, and it's taken me a long time to get where I'm at. I hand-code all my stuff because I hate WYSIWYG editors. I use Dreamweaver's text editor because it knows what language you're working with and autofills tags and values as you type.

According to all the mileage calculators, my gas expense shouldn't be more than $1500. I'm only paying half of that. My other 2 friends are splitting the other half.

I know I'll be missing some places, but the primary goal is to set foot in all 48 states, even if I have to make sacrifices for what I want to see (if we fall behind schedule). No sidetrips really, what you see on the route is what I'll pretty much be doing. The path, of course, is tentative but I'll be able to change it on the fly if something diverges.
