Woke up not so early, still early, i’m not committing whimsy and planned for final jaunt of trip. I can’t hit my penultimate stop in Oklahoma as the National Weather Museum is temporarily closed. They are moving to a new bigger 2500 square feet, that’s bigger really? location. So for me for now it’s bout over. I’m approximately 8 hours away and did I mention it’s hot? Extremely hot. It’s ironic (situationally) that the weather museum is closed when it’s most pertinent. So I’ll drive and drive till home and finish trip. By that I mean cleaning. Couple months living in campgrounds and car takes its toll so cleaning while horrible and a pain in the ass is necessary. Did I mention the heat?

Ominous
Ominous still

I drove, filled up tank with really inexpensive gas 3.50 a gallon…apparently that’s cheap. Loaded up on cans o coffee drinks and gas station food due to on arrival I wouldn’t be interested in doing anything, eating, cleaning, et al but sleep and doing so in a bed my bed.

Next morning I got first haircut in a couple months dropped off rent picked up some pills and all the necessary things I had to do to join the real world again.

Reminiscent of my “friend” at Joshua Tree. Dripping irony

It’s been a lovely practice run hopefully soon I get the real thing if/when car/cars come out and I’ll head east got oodles more to see more of the good the bad and the ugly all of which are the same.

To be continued?
