didn't ask for a fuckin' travelogue
Nothing major happened on the way back, but there were two minor incidents of note.
- I was stopped in Wichita for going 80 in a 70, but he only gave me a warning and made fun of me for trusting my radar detector too much ("just slow down and stop payin' attention to that thing!").
- In Missouri I saw a pretty bizarre scene: a truck hauling bales of hay had caught fire and was parked on the side of the road. Fire and police crews were just arriving as I drove past. I don't think anyone was hurt, which makes me feel OK saying that it looked pretty damn cool.

What the hay!?
That hay had caught fire, most likely, because it was bailed too wet. I am not making this up.
