  Nothing sets the tone for the day like learning your home planet has just changed ownership. 
   
  Today is a day like any other on Earth. People wake and work. Minds plug into electronic devices. Social networks spark with spontaneous brain sputterings. A woman primps. A man scratches his balls. Humans relate, congregate, procreate. 
   
  And news anchors across the globe offer an ounce of vital information for every pound of mind-numbing nonsense... 
   
  Then, the figurative bomb hits. Screens are ablaze, and radio is abuzz with a news flash like no other: 
   
  Earth has been inherited. The planet has a new owner. 
   
  And he's not happy to find his endowment overrun by a planetary pestilence. 
   
  Earth gets its wakeup call. How would you answer it?

  Nine states. Two control freaks. One steering wheel. What could possibly go wrong?It may be that a marriage ends not with a whimper but with the slam of a car door on a deserted stretch of highway. Most married couples know better than to put themselves in each other's way, but in Ken La Salle's first autobiographical monologue, he tells about how he and his wife of eight years did just that on a road trip that probably should never have happened.As husband and wife drive each other crazy, they must also contend with Ken's schizophrenia, the in-laws, Vicky's homicidal friends, and a cast of characters along the way. Some of this may sound familiar, and the rest will have you thankful you didn't take the trip yourself. All of it culminates in a single moment on a deserted roadside on the Olympic Peninsula, when all the madness of marriage comes down to one question: Is this how a marriage ends?
