Amusing moving anecdote of the day

We moved from Chicago to the Boston area recently.  If you’ve ever driven from Chicago to Boston, you know that you’ll spend about $15 in tolls along the way.  Not exactly cheap, but what’s kinda nice is that the I-Pass box you stick in the window to auto-pay your tolls in IL also works in every state along the way.

So, the family and I drove out here and paid our $15 in tolls… but we also had my car moved out on a car transport–and I forgot to take MY I-pass out of before loading it onto the truck.  So my car ended up paying every toll along the way as well, while sitting up on top of a car transport.  I only noticed when my I-Pass account refilled itself halfway through the trip.  Bummer.

Moral of the story:  remember to take your I-Pass or auto-toll-thingy out of your car before you have it transported!

    Ohhhh, man. I hate it when that happens. That's like finding one's parking permit has slid out of view of the windshield while driving AFTER getting a ticket. I've done that several times. If you have more stories like this feel free to share at my site, http://www.talesfrom.com. L-eight-er
