Mike was looking like he'd been out way too late last night. There had been an all-female AC/DC tribute band playing a club on the mainland, and he'd really enjoyed it. There were dark circles under his eyes and he hadn't shaved. "Hey guys," he said, handing out a pair of handouts. "Slight change of plans today. Instead of covering cars this week and highways next week, I decided to ~~be lazy~~ combine them both and use two weeks to fully explore both topics. Be sure you read over the information I'm giving you because we'll be discussing it next week. In the meantime, we've got an activity to demonstrate how automobiles and highways improved the ability to travel."

He stopped to chug some coffee before continuing. "Today, if you want to travel from St. Louis, Missouri, to Portland, Oregon, it'll take you about 30 hours nonstop according to Google Maps. Of course, you probably want to stop and take breaks. In the mid-19th century, though, you would have travel by wagon and the trip would have taken months. We're going to play a game called the Oregon Trail and see just how long it takes. Oh, and there's pie for whoever has the shortest travel time."

Lazily!

Read the handout and wonder what kind of mayhem your teacher was creating last night.

Naomi read over the handout and took notes.

Who's on your team? Did you make it? Did you give up halfway there? How long did it take?

"What is it with you people and food?" An exasperated Bender demanded of the pixellated corpses of his crew, who'd sickened and starved to death. Again. "It's like every other day you have to eat."

If she survives the Oregon Trail.

Naomi had survived and was ready to TA.

Bring more coffee.

I never seem to make it all the way to Oregon.

*driveby and not even in the class*

I get halfway and die.

And it keeps telling me I need to enable HTTP cookies and I don't know what's going on and I can't play. Am sad.

Oh no! Maybe it's a script that isn't loading?

This version does seem tougher than the one I remember in third grade. I keep getting frustrated because I always run out of money and food halfway there.
