The last I saw of Kentucky was the WELCOME TO KENTUCKY sign in my rear view mirror as I crossed the Ohio River??????????? into the birth place of Lincoln which is Indiana, not to be confused with the land of Lincoln which would be Illinois, at least that is what it said on the signs each time I went into another state or maybe I was just in the STATE OF CONFUSION and have just come to realize that!!!!!!!!!!!
I am going to add a section on roads, mileage, and gas prices for your information and EDIFICATION. I am not sure what that word means, but I figured it was a good place to use it.................
For the most part the roads have been good with the exception of Illinois which has roads that equal those of Mississippi and when you put them on a scale of 1 to 10, they both come up a MINUS NINE!!!!!!!! To say the roads are good is like saying General Custer had a real good time at Little Big Horn!!!!!!!!!!!! The biggest problem is just trying to keep up speed and not bend a tire rim or blow out a shock absorber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, that is enough soapbox for this time.
To this point I have traveled 1454 miles and right now I think I am in a rest area in Missouri. Gas prices are averaging $2.24 a gallon with the cheapest being $2.13 in Georgia and the highest being $2.44 in Kentucky.
I crawled into the back of Miss Mabel about 11 last night and went to sleep to the sound of an R V generator running and awoke this morning to the sound of raindrops on the roof. The sound of which is equivalent to the Tijuana Brass band marching through your bedroom at 4:30 in the morning playing the "HORNY BULL"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obviously sleep being an impossibility I crawled out of the back, went to the facilities and combed my teeth and brushed my hair, woke up Miss Mabel, tried to calm BLUE BOY because he gets really nasty when it rains. He has a tendency to put the brakes on and lock up his tires, but I wiped his windshield and we made nice and all was well so off we went.
I am sending this from a rest area, but like I said I am just not sure where, but it is daylight now so I am not completely lost???????
From out here somewhere, I am still looking for my bottle as it is "ALWAYS FIVE O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE," and still searching for the meaning of life, but I think I will settle for coffee right now........ I suppose sometime today I should probably stop at a truck stop and get a shower since the security in the rest areas frown on me taking a bath in their fountains??????? and this air freshener just ain't gettin it!!!!!!!
