I was going to say a few words about driving my son and myself from North Carolina to Cal desert.
and no, I do not always speak (write) in complete sentences..I don't like punctuation and I am a very bad speller..just ask the kids...anyway______ Van is serviced and packed with as little as is safely possible for a road trip...flashlight? check. sleeping bag? check. phone charger? check. shovel? ( I am a Mainer after all) check. We go back to the house twice for forgotten meds and marijuana muffins. (medicinal silly) ..we stop in Nashville to do a Walmart run..which entails purchasing functional clothing in exchange for the ones you are wearing from top to bottoms! I pick out grey boys' tennies, 2 tops, 2 pairs of socks, 2 pants ( one I can sleep in) and undies. I grab a $5.00 hello kitty back pack and a $1.00 shopping bag to hold the stuff..my son does much the same..we get a motel room and ditch all of what we were wearing and try on the new. I get an A+ for finding great pants for 7 bucks. Oh yeah and I found a black knit dress for $6.00 just in case..of..I don't really know..for fun. As we drove away the next morning heading west I wondered (in Spanish) what the housekeeping personnel thought when they found our old shoes, clothes, purse and wallet in a neat pile..with a note.."FREE"..so were we..and heading west.. Thanks for reading.
