So what I heard about Fort Wayne: is that there’s nothing in Fort Wayne.

I made the trip at 8 this morning, luckily traffic was light since I largely ignored my suicidal GPS device that always wants me to take I-94 through Chicago to get to Indiana. Instead took I-290 to I-294 to I-80 to route 30 to cross the Hoosier state. I’m here for 4 weeks for an organ transplantation rotation that starts tomorrow at Lutheran Hospital.

This part of the state is weird. Especially when I crossed the line where all my radio station presets started changing and mashing up genres. Alternative becomes country, country becomes classical, and Spanish channels become christian rock. I actually went two hours without hearing Lady Gaga. It was awful.

Fort Wayne is (I really shouldn’t be surprised) heavily car-dependent. And there are so many subdivisions in this area. Fort Wayne on Google Maps looks like a capillary bed. Yeesh. Wouldn’t want to live here. Oh, well. As long as I have my trusty travel ironing board and PC Gimp suit, I should be pretty ready for this rotation.

But I should mention that when I got here, I realized I broke Douglas Adams’ one rule.
