Who rides shotgun?

Riding with Team MudCup can be a lesson in insanity at times. We have a serious plan of attack when we strike out. So serious we spend half the time laughing at the misdirection we end up following. Team MudCup's adventures are plotted and planned by Teacup. Its my job to navigate. Oh the places you'll go when you're flingin mud!

And once we've had our power surge of Cinnamelts and Sweet Tea... we can kick it into overdrive! At least until we mis the road, pass the cemetary or just plan slow down to read a sign. (You never know when you'll need that sign information.) I've heard said that in every conversation you'll have a lull every so often. Team MudCup waits for these pauses just so we can catch our breath! we spend lots of time laughing, backtracking and laughing some more.

Some of the simpliest things stike us the funniest. I mean really - do people really get excited when they see a turtle crossing the road. So much so - you decide to stop and help the poor fella cross the road (Of which we were the only car for MILES!) Did that sign really say "Wayward Traveler?" I've gotta carve that! Back we go to get the photo - so you might find it as a hiker near you.

The funniest thing is Teacups never ending growing stack of post-its. Why post-its? Tea and I also share a strange passion for Virtuals. I like to write them... Tea likes to solve them. And you'll never know when or where I'll come up with a new thought for a virtual. This promotes a steady stream of post-its. Who knows if they will ever come to fruition... but one we travel, and Tea's door is getting packed with tiny pieces of paper.

So who rides shotgun? Hmmm...

Another day in the car with Team MudCup!
