I picked i-70 and broke the rules and only voted for it because I want it to win.

Out of the box thinking like that is why I made you my regional manager.

2 Alaska, 1 Hawaii, and 4 East to West long drives. I had to go with I-90 as it covers some territory I have never seen, I-70 to see places we have been before but not in a while (and see some relatives along the corridor), and then A1.

I don't believe I have ever even touched a lacrosse ball before.
