sentences.text: After I explained Wyoming, the tons of cows and all that... Really, all the way through Nebraska... I was disappointed--you know this, my pager?  It didn't work all the way through Nebraska. I couldn't chat as I was driving. "Really, I was driving alone.  My two friends were driving in front of me.  So I drove..." ...It's really far to Omaha--it's the end of Nebraska "Really, it's about 500 miles across Nebraska." I didn't realize that Nebraska was really that big! But anyway, so I was driving... All of sudden, a strong storm hit.  I was a bit nervous driving through it. My friends in front of me wanted to pull over. I told them its important to go slowly, 45 or 50 MPH. "Be patient, we'll drive together, and the rain will dissipate." I said. It is important to escape the big storm. My friend said "nah, its better to pull over." "Okay, fine," I said, "I'd be happy to." I said sarcastically.  We pulled over. We went into a restaurant.  I was hungry because I hadn't eaten lunch yet. I went in; the place was really creepy. There were no waiters... The tables and chairs were all wood.  It looked like a log cabin. We were uneasy,  but we said "OK, fine," and the three of us sat down around a table. I opened the menu; the choices were limited, but we let it slide. We decided to have hamburger and French fries, something simple. The waitress came over.  I told her that I'm Deaf. The waitress came up and talked into my ear. I gestured, "No, I'm Deaf!"  So she came around and started talking right in my face.  I said, "No, no--move back." I wrote to explain that Deaf people can read lips. Really, some can read lips and some communicate with paper and pen. The waitress said, "Oh.  Which do you prefer?"  I said I wanted paper and pen, haha. Because that waitress was really hard to understand. ...anyway, I wrote that I wanted a burger with fries, just simple...cooked medium.. My friends did the same.  They both wrote down their orders, we gave the waitress the paper, and off she went. We waited and waited.  The rain stopped; I said, "Oh, good." I was in a hurry for the food to arrive--I wanted to take advantage of the good weather for driving, but it didn't work out that way.  We waited and waited and waited. The food finally came.  I looked again--it had plain Wonder bread for a bun and a tiny little burger. Really, I would have preferred a McDonald's burger--they're better than this one was.  Oh well. I took a bite... it was gross.  We all decided, "Forget it." The food was not good, so we just left it. I told the waitress that I was unsatified with the food and that we'd pay for the drinks. The waitress said, "Are you sure? Do you want anything else?"  I said, "Nah, I've decided to take off." We left.  As we were driving, we were really hungry. I kept driving.  I hurried because I knew there would be a McDonald's on the road.  We found a McDonald's right near the end of Nebraska. I thought,"perfect!" We pulled off and took the opportunity to eat at McDonalds. Then I drove straight through Iowa...I think it was Iowa...yes, it was Iowa. We wnt straight on through Indiana, then Illinois, no--first Illinois, then Indiana.  It was a good drive; I kept going overnight. I kept on driving. I was going 85, 88, 90 MPH all the way through there. There were no cops.  The speed limit there is 75 MPH, so... We were lucky and took advantage of it.  After we drove a good while we decided to stop in Illinois. We stayed overnight.   Let's stop, and put this aside.
