moooooo!!!!! I made it home to SC. And I've already heard from so many of you! Thanks for being in touch. I'll write some personals later, but I'm just bumming this computer from a friend for a sec! I did make it to St. Louis, 12 hours and one car seat flying out the back later.... yup, Sarah, at 5:00 am I drove away from your house in Boulder and left the tailgate downand the back up! Luckily for me... I only lost the car seat. When I realized... I hit the steering wheel, said fuck a few times and tried to backtrack...got lost in the interlocken place where Sarah lives and finally made it back to her place... The carseat was sitting comfortably on the side of the road twenty yards from her front door!! Thank my luckystars! :)
So anyway, in St. Louis, I called steerrider, the girl I met on line at the veggieboards.com. She said I should definitely come by and meet her steer AND that I could stay! How awesome.. no hotel,no sleeping in my truck! Again, lucky for me, she was a really nice, normal 23 year old. Her steer... so cool! His name is Nunde and he is just like a dog! He comes trotting up to us, sniffing me to say hi and who the hell are you.. and then he bent over and put his nose up against my dog, Seamus' nose! He was flabberghasted to say the least! Nunde is black and loves to have his back scratched. He's also way curious and watched everything we did. He also ate his first carrot while I was there. Steer rider was astonished... I'm not sure if I want to say her realname... Anyway, then I left St. Louis and embarked on a 16!! hour drive home. Whew. But, I made it! Along the way, I hit a much needed Thunder Storm in Kentucky.. cooled things down for Seamus and I as I have no air conditioning. Then of course, we hit that line in the country where all of a sudden, you remember for the first time in ages, what that thing called humidity is! Then in Tennessee, well, some bible carrier released his wrath on the vegetarian hethen with the 666 liscence plates... Well, I don'tknow if that's what happened, but all of a sudden hundreds of bugs started flying out of the median into my windshield.. It was like the ending of the movieMagnolia.. or the curse of the locusts and grasshoppers.. crazy! WE survived. That was all the drama. Oh, and I had some Mellow Yellow and I saw a Piggly Wiggly! And, the trees.. oh the endless sea of trees! So many and just as many shades of green! That was dropping down in Chattanooga! Gorgeous.. Oh and then I hit rush hour in Atlanta.. 8 out of every 10 cars was driven by a black person... The fact thatI noticed that has only come to be because I've lived in Utah for 6 years. Kind of sad, eh? But, a relief to be back in the midst of some diversity. Getting home was splendid and seeing the folks was the best! And the best for Seamus too. He swam in the lake out back all day today. Well, I'm going out on the town to see some old cronies so take care and happyIndependance Day!
