Absolutely not. We wait till we hit the road outside the parking lot to open up the cooler.

Back when I started officiating in the late 1980s, the length of a road trip was measured in the number of six packs you'd get for the ride home.

Thankfully, those days are long over.

Still people that feel that way. I am not one of them, but I know people that insist on doing just that.

I wished. I also do football and we have a quarterfinal tonight, and it is 178 miles one way!

Cooler? When I was where you are now, we used the snow bank as our cooler. I remember doing some digging when I couldn't remember exactly where we buried the treasure.
