One of my few goals while in the UK was to buy a copy of the original Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy radio series on CD. It’s extremely hard to find in America, but a brand new edition was sitting on a rack in the first petrol station we stopped at on the way from Edinburgh to Mynyddbach, Wales. This was lucky, because due to the fact that the British government decided that it would be a good idea to repave the entirety of the motorway network all at once, the drive ended up talking nine hours instead of the expected six and a half. Listening to the discs was the one thing that stopped me from pulling out of the endless queues to overturn the car and ignite the countryside with diesel fumes.
