I can drive from Casper, WY to Kingsville, TX without talking to another human save the guy at the drive thru and the hotel clerk.
My wife cannot drive to the grocer without having to have a five minute talk about the dog's bowel habits, or the new color she painted her nails which I can't tell the difference from the normal color.
Totally feel your pain.
