It\u2019s been a minute, as the slanglish sentence structure says. But as I missed the back way into my hotel (which turns out is the ONLY way to my hotel), I flashed to a dusty highway for Marion Crane. While there aren\u2019t 50 vacancies, there also is a sense that this is not a place I should take my mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I\u2019m not entirely sure how to parse this signage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One can only assume that it\u2019s for cleaning up after disposing of the body\/bodies. And yet\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Athens, Ohio, is home to Ohio University and I had forgotten how a college town post spring break pre Finals works. I also had forgotten just how long it has been since I was in college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoiding the rabble rousing, raging hormones, and the \u201cdid my friends and I ever look that young as undergrads,\u201d I skipped the institutional 24\/7 diner that appeared to be a frat house side hustling as a food distributor. I did partake of the quintessential collegiate town fare however – middling pizza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see above I\u2019ve also been trying to wrap my head around the course for tomorrow. They used to end with a lap around the track but that was changed apparently in 2015 and they\u2019re still trying to explain the \u201cnew\u201d route nine years on. Admittedly, I\u2019m a newbie so I appreciate the attempts to clarify\u2026 but the map they provided is more like a madman\u2019s forgery attempt of a Jackson Pollock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will tomorrow bring? Hopefully a fairly quick time so I can get out of here. There\u2019s a definite Eagles vibe of checking out but never leaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to do these kinds of adventures all the time. I used to stay in murder hotels at the drop of a body bag. And I used to enjoy the random Roadside America kitsch and tourist traps. But apparently this Athens has as their \u201cParthenon\u201d a broken off piece of Adolf Hitler\u2019s urinal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
