Long distance relationships, while undoubtedly worth the effort, have their share of caveats. High phone bills, long drives, and tired Mondays all contribute to the stress of extended love affairs.

I can see unique trailer hitches becoming a reoccurring theme here at DWT. I saw these in Austin awhile back (sorry for the grainy photos; iPhone + moving car).
