Five Things that Don't Suck, Hitting the Road Edition

Note: I'm heading out for a week or so--flying into a hurricane because I'm an idiot--and I don't know what kind of internet access I'll have or even if I'll think to post. Hang out for a week or so. Make your own list (it's only 35 things over 7 days and the bar is low). Take a nap. I'll post if I think about it and have access. And I'll be back.
