I want to avoid the early morning traffic and rush.
It does seem bizarre to be headed off on this adventure at age 68. Some, my age, have already checked themselves into retirement homes. Others didn't make it to my age. Val was but 56. Life can be such an oddity.
Hooking the trailer up didn't take long. I have yet to load the Miata but that will happen in a few hours. Getting the RV and trailer turned around in the back yard was problematic. I had to cross a neighbor's back yard to do it.
This will be a LONG and tiring trip. Max speed will be but 55 MPH and I plan to stop a LOT. Might not make it to Clermont the first day and that is okay by me. I don't have to listen to Mike harassing me about how long the trip will take me. Don't plan on dealing with him ever again. I've yet to unfriend Mike on Facebook but I'm going to. Gotta be sure to not publicize my location on FB until I have.
This country is going crazy. Shootings. Veterans being deported. Healthcare about to become the province of the few. The head goon, of course, continues to embarrass us all.
As I've said already, this country becomes more and more, with each day, something akin to the fictional Panem of Hunger Games fame.
We'll survive, the neocons say...we endured 8 years of Obama. They're so delusional. And they just don't get it. Our way of life, our traditions, our very democracy is on the line here, nothing less.
Freedoms taken away are seldom restored...
