"You can say things like, 'Tell me your life story...'"

29 December 2022: "With strangers, you can ask the questions you can’t really ask the people you know. You can say things like, 'Tell me your life story.' My girlfriend and I are getting closer to proposal age, so I told them our love story. Trey had a girlfriend, so he shared his love story, too. Michelle is a grandmother, so she talked about how long she had been married to her husband. We got to know each other pretty well."

Just really charmed and moved by this piece on Slate about strangers driving across the country together in the wake of all these canceled flights.
