Weirdness and haiku.

First, some weirdness. It makes you wonder about the newfound power of the rumor; it used to only be scary in local circles. Now, it's in the literature.

Also, some haiku, inspired by my journey across the country:

Back in Michigan
Unforeseen delays let me
say all my goodbyes.

I know I must have
driven through Chicago, but
I don't recall it.

And that's just a taste! More locations are to come. (Yes, I know they're bad.)

Bonus question: How many haiku are in this entry?
