Hello once again!

Now that Joe and I have made it to Los Angeles, CA, I finally have a wee bit o' free time, so I'll catch you up on recent events. If you had read the last entry of the blog, you would have read that after a frustrating night of attempting to find food and reasonably priced lodging, I was forced to execute a thirty-eight point turn in order to back into the one and only available parking space. As Joe and I left the hotel that morning, we noticed the following sign. Whoops!

Hello again!

Sorry it's been so long since the last post. The last couple of days have been just packed! In a good way. So let's see what you've missed...

When we last stopped, we were resting up for the next days visit to Roswell, NM's UFO Museum and Research Center.

Hey there!

The last two days have sure been interesting! Yesterday morning we left Joplin, MO and headed south. After a few hours of listening to the original "The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy" radio programs, we stopped in Amarillo, TX. It was here that we saw The Big Texas Steakhouse (which claims on one of its many highly tacky signs [with a bizarrely high level of accuracy] to have fed Joe's father.)

Hello again!

We left Effingham, IL this morning, got some ice for the cooler (we only missed our turn once...), and headed for St. Louis.

Hello, all!


In case you weren't aware, Joe and I have left for L.A.! Last night we were presented with colorful, tasty treats topped with rubber ducks. It was soon decreed these two imitation aquatic fowl, "Whistle Fart" and the ex-convict "Rubber the Duckie", would be your guides to the first few entries of my new blog. We finished packing (mostly) late last night and, after one last trip to Martin's for supplies, got some rest before leaving this morning around 9 am.
