Said the nice American lady somewhere in Washington State. Apparently she was not happy with my driving etiquette. She believed that if her light happened to be green that she should be able to make any decision she wanted, even if it meant turning left when I was turning right, also with a green light. I have been in a lot of countries around the world, and I do not know of one in which I would not have had the right of way. I tried to explain this to her politely but she quickly put me in my place with her "Canuck go home" comment.
Oh well. There is just no explaining some things to some people, especially if they happen to be stupid, miserable, ugly, old, bitch, whores! There! Now I feel better!
And she's not a typical American. Even though I admit that I've bitched about our southern neighbours at times I know it is because I have had lots of exposure to the most unpleasant of them....mostly at airports and border crossings, and usually wearing some kind of uniform. Today when we crossed into the US we were treated very respectfully despite undergoing something I have never experienced before. As a matter of fact I didn't even know this process existed.
Can you figure out what it is?
Anyway....we drove about 1000 kms today and are currently in Bozeman, Montana, just over 1/4 of the way home. I am a bit tired, and expect to be so for a couple more days as we try to get home by Friday evening. Neither Roo or I really say it out loud, but we both know that it is our grandchildren that beckon us back. That's a good thing I think. It's nice to go on a vacation because of the adventure, but even nicer to know that you have reasons to go back home.
One Ironman question I can answer for you. Someone asked me how I was gonna celebrate my success. Well, I'm a simple guy.

Would that piece of equipment be a camera to get into unscrupulous places, like under the vehicle. ..... Ave a fanatic journey home. Be safe, realty here is wiing fr you.
ReplyDeleteDan thinks it may be radiation or X-ray machine for big vehicles?
ReplyDeleteI think Sally's and Cathy's guesses are good ones! My guess, and my thought, was also that it's a giant x-ray machine for vehicles.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures of all the food you ate after and your legs up on the dashboard. You deserve to unwind now! Love you.
Pretty sure it's xray...B has to deal with it all the time.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love the quote for this post.
