Man, I'm tired. 3600 miles. Got my son delivered to Reno. New girlfriend, new job. Hopefully, things will go well for him.
Stopped by Park City, Utah, on the way home. You talk about a beautiful place. The 2002 Winter Olympics was held there. Land of the free and home of the rich. We saw a $25 million dollar home for sale. We passed it up. We went downtown, sat on a park bench, and stared at the rich people walking by. It was quite a site. I can't get over how much money some people have, and how little others have. I suppose my wife and I would be considered rich by a lot of people. I definitely would not feel comfortable with that. I look at those people in Park City and wonder what they think about the poor? About not having enough money to buy food, or put gas in the car, or even have a car. I wonder what they think about people who cannot get any work, or can only work for minimum wage? I wonder if they're as troubled as I am about all that? I wonder if they, and for that matter, if I, will do anything about it? It's always good to wonder. Sometimes it takes a 3600 mile trip to get you off your ass.

HONK IF YOU'RE SMARTER THAN BUSH

Still no movement on the war. Everyone's hedging their bets. That's a politician. In the meantime, our young men and women keep dying and the civilians in Iraq keep suffering. It's looking more and more like we're going to need to go to Washington. I'm thinking, we get enough people to circle the White House, we'll call it "A Circle for World Peace." For Bush, what goes around comes around. I'm getting too old for this crap. Maybe if we all work together, we can get this thing off the ground. Maybe something is already happening? Everyone, think about it. Pass the word. Maybe we can find someone to sponsor it? Maybe we should just pick a date and go there? Hell, I don't know. We got to do something.
THEY'RE WAR MONGERS. THEY DESERVE TO MEET US.

Made it to Reno. Seems to be a pretty nice place. A lot going on. Salt Lake City is really beautiful. With the 2002 Winter Olympics having been held there, there are a lot of new things. I was impressed. We drove 900 miles in one day. I'm getting too old for that.
Everything seems alright with my son. He seems to be happy.
Life. Takes you to places you never think you'll be. Funny how that works. Actually, it's great how that works. Keeps it interesting.

I'm in North Platte, Nebraska. We drove around 600 miles. Sailing was smooth. Weather good. Delivering my son to Reno. Today, we expect to go about 700 miles. We hope! Anyway, our goal today is Elco, NV. The Horse Whisperer did a lot of work there. WE are up and ready to hit the road at 6a.m. Looking forward to some good scenery. I have mixed emotions about my son being so far away. Both our son and daughter have not been any further than 300 miles away. 1800 miles is a little further. But, I'll get used to it. Hope all is well with everyone? Headed for Elco.
