Getting old is THE GREAT ADVENTURE !!!! 65 ...ha you are a young pup !!

I feel for you in those winds. Last year in Nebraska my wife got blown off the bike two times. Then we stuck out our thumbs.

Enjoying these journal entries. Stay safe Tim!

I hope you are kidding about the passwords but I am sorry if not. Believe me this is the last place I would think I’d run into someone from Martinsville, and to be of similar age. She just had to know Doug or Karen. .

I was totally unnerved by your text mentioning my friend from my youth. Having not yet seen your post, I was freaked out trying to figure out how on earth you could make that connection. Didn't make rational sense that you'd have a passing thought about little ole me on your journey cross country. Thought I'd been hacked... someone was impersonating you in my text messages... oh, wait, we didn't have a digital footprint waaaaaay back in the Stone Age when I was a kid. ...even hackers couldn't dig that stuff up. We spent the evening changing all our passwords anyway--no lie! If you dig up any more of my sordid past on your cross country trek, ... please ... ... ... no... ... just don't do it. (Montana of all places!!!) But keep the posts coming. I was enjoying them before, but I find them absolutely riveting now. :+)

someone is going native; "... plenty of saloons and restaurants to wet a whistle or fill a belly. "
the view ... 6 stars out of 5 ... wow ! (echoing Randy)
judging by the attire it appears that the weather is still a tad chilly for JUNE !!!
It really is a SMALL world .... what a great story :-)

WoW!!!! All I can say is WoW!!!!

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt

Sad they a closed. My brother lived 10 outside of Sula and we used to eat there every time I went to visit. Great food and the Bloody Marys were to die for.

English major/outstanding……funny.
Take it slow. Ha ha.

Fun/Fast/Furious; describes your time at JMU ???
Formal rehab starts tomorrow, already doing "my thing" and given that Friday is 8 weeks post surgery i'm ready to start loading up the iron and get ready for a comp ::-) AND i really, really envy you and the sights/sounds/interactions you are experiencing, THANK YOU for sharing. I did not know you were an English major as your writing and use of phrases is OUTSTANDING.

Clunk hurts a bit butt hurts more but better. Thanks for your concern. How’s the hip.
