💯 STORY CHALLENGE

Melissa says I'm an easy laugh. She's right. Here are my two favorite jokes of the trip so far:

It's almost 9pm Friday night. I pull into the parking lot of Americas Best Inn in Kilaspell, Montana.

I hesitate for a moment, wondering if this is the best place to stop. Then I notice their sign that faces the roadway.

And just like that, I knew I was in the right place.

Kathy, the underground tour guide, had this to say after discussing the town's apothecary:

"They put cocaine in Coca-Cola and lithium in 7-up. It's no wonder we liked picnics so much."

I enjoy deep dives in pools of self-reflection and have discovered the power to change the world within 5' of my feet. I expect to laugh often and die well.
