On the road again....


Sing with me, you know the words....
Coffee is hot and the Squirrel and I are heading out on a 860 mile drive today.

first stop...Hood River for coffee
Second stop....Pasco for coffee
Third stop...Couer D'Alene for lunch at a nice little Greek place.
Fourth Stop...Missoula for coffee
Fifth Stop....Bozeman for dinner..Montana Ale Works is the best place for dinner. When traveling through Montana this is a must place to eat.
arrive in Billings, MT.

This is not counting fuel stops and the "watering the tree" pit stops. I should be able to make the drive in 13 hours or less.

6500 lbs of steel and two furry woodland creatures at the helm.....

I hate when you drive more than 9 hours in a day -

and "but squirrel will be with me" doesn't exactly make me feel any better about the whole thing either -

two rodents hyped on java -

great.

(TKW - yeah, and it's really bad when we are sitting across the room from each other too . . . seriously with kid's schedules and time zones it has kinda worked out that way when he is on the road)

Take heart, Kel. DG and I have desks 4 feet from one another in the loft and we email one another back and forth. Saves the strain of having to turn our heads 45 degrees -- we're not getting any younger, ya know. And we don't have to worry about not hearing the TV over one another's voices. Technology makes likfe so tidy...

Wild cow and Druish Deities

I have been blessed with being able to drive some of the most unbelievable roads ever paved. Last week I found myself on HWY 108 in Central California. 130 Miles 26% grade 9624 at the summit 4 hours to drive this route This photo is looking west just down from the summit. I could live here with the wild cows. A lone wild cow at the 9000 foot level just making sure that nobody is speeding along.

Today was a good day..

I'm flying home today from Phoenix, AZ. First good thing: I was moved from my favorite seat in coach to a window seat in first class. Second thing: The guy sitting next to me did not want to talk and left me alone on the flight. Third thing: The flight was smooth and on time. Fourth thing: I'm walking out of the gate area at the airport when a TSA guy calls me over and ask me if I wanted an item, because if not he was going to throw it away. And you know it would be darn shame to throw out a nice bottle of...... Yes, that is correct, a nice 750ml bottle of Sauza Tres Generaciones 100% Puro De Agave Tequila. I'm now very...very ........tanked. Thank you TSA. I'm a 40% by volume Woodchuck.

It seemed like a good ideal at the time...

The question has been asked and needs to be answered: So, you all know the type in high school, the "Jock". The Jocks ran my school like so many school around the country. And, of course, football players topped that heirarchy of the teen stratusphere. And this might come as a huge surprise to most, but I played Football. I had social responsibilities to up hold and order to maintain on campus. You might say we were the police, the law and order of the school. We patrolled the halls with an iron fist. The stoners stayed well behaved. The nerds were well protected in exchange for homework. Life was good. Then one sunny spring day a nice little "Miss Gloria Steinem wanna be," who wrote for the school paper, decides to write a story questioning the authority of the Football team. In this situation, most people would of course write a rebuttal. And this is exactly what we would have done, had any of us on the Football team been able to write. No luck on this one. Howeve...
