The road to RAGBRAI

I can't believe I'm on the road... again. This travel big must be in my blood. I feel quite happy when I leave home. I feel lighter, less encumbered. I feel strong, In my power. I feel more at home away from home... go figure.


Got out of town around noon, as planned. Then, around Erie PA I began to think about the fact I hadn't checked the oil. Dennis always did that. And I still forget to pick up the slack. I quickly look up high on the windshield to see how overdue an oil change is...only 6,000 miles overdue! Guess I'd better get that done. And sooner rather than later. Good ole iPhone. Let's google "oil change" and it finds the nearest place. Quick call. Yup, they can take me right away.

Got that done. And back on the road.

Why does driving always make me want to eat? I munched and munched my way to Indianapolis tonight. Sleeping in my truck at a rest area where the lights are too bright and the highway too noisy, but beggars can't be choosey.

Nighty night!
