They make it sound almost like Lent: "the summer driving season." It sounds compulsory or something, as though I might lose my citizenship if I haven't clocked at least 1,200 miles of continuous interstate travel by June 30 and finalized plans to double that number by Labor Day. This shouldn't be a problem for me, fortunately, because I love taking road trips in any season, but what if sometime around the end of May, say, I'm physically incapacitated?

I was living in India at the time and saw how the show changed people's lives.
