Day 8 - Four states of departure

-
Started in West VG on route 33 in the rain.
More twisties as we changed onto Hwy 47.
Crossed into Ohio at Parkersburg and left the twisting roads behind.
From here on, the rest of the trip will be on Interstate roads.
At Columbus we caught up with Intersate 70.
Shortly after that we found the rain again.
Crossed into Indiana on 70 and found the rain once again.
Rounding Indianapolis on the byway, the rain now drenched us for miles on the otherside of Indianapolis.
Just crossing over into Illinois, and the rain found us for the last time.
With gloves drenched, pants wet and a trickle down my back we ended in Urbanan.
About 560 miles traveled.
Back into central time.
And really really wanting to get home - this is just travel time.

"On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha. I can hear the engine running, moaning out it's one long. You don't feel much like traveling, you just wish the trip was through.

Here I am, On the road again.
Here I am, back on the road.

Poem titled "Me Mudder"

-
In honor and tribute to all mothers. This was found on the bulletin board at my grandfathers store in Lotts Creek Iowa. Supposedly found in an old territorial prison in Yuma. -------------------------------- When my prayers were early said Who tucked me in my widdle bed And spanked my ass till it was red? Me Mudder Who lifted me from my cozy cot And set me on an ice cold pot and make me pee if I could or not? Me Mudder And when the morning light had come In my widdle crib I dribbled some who wiped my tiny little bum? Me Mudder Who did my hair so nearly part and pressed me gently to her heart and sometimes squeezed till I'd fart Me Mudder Who looked at me with eyebrows knit, and neatly had a king size fit, When in my Sunday clothes me shit Me Mudder When at night the bed did squeak, me raised me head to have a peek, who yelled at me to go to sleep Me Fadder !

Don't we ever learn from History!

Public Meeting to be held to discusses High-Speed Rail between Minneapolis and Duluth  and could cost between $500 million and $600 million. Didn't we have a passenger train rail line between St Paul and Duluth? Oh yeah... It failed due to lack of ridership. What about the tracks? Oh yeah... They are now bike paths between White Bear and North Branch. Don't get me wrong, I love trains... But they need to be self sustaining... They shouldn't need my dollar! http://kstp.com/traffic/minneapolis-duluth-high-speed-rail-meeting/4057719/?cat=12196

April 8th My birthday and an eclipse

-
This year, April 8th not only represents the completion of my 67th trip around the sun, but it will be a chance for me to experience a solar eclipse totality. Consequently,  I have placed myself in a location to enjoy both my birthday and this solar event. I've heard of the many dire predictions of catastrophic events at the time of the eclipse. Included in this is the Salem Ninevah prediction of Jesus's return. Be assured I'm at peace.  Christ may return at anytime, but that date and time is unknown to man. And if he does surprise us, and comes back monday, I know that I'll walk with him in heaven.  And if the earth shakes and I'm swallowed up in the chaos, my destination will be the same.  I believe that God will not allow this planet to be destroyed while His children still inhabit it.  And if I'm left behind along with the rest of the calamity of survivors digging out, I'm prepared to battle satan while I can. What I am concerned about is what satans min
