Who knows what the tide can bring
I have been sick for some time. Not down and out sick, but the kind that keeps you awake at nights and hacking up stuff during the day. It's draining and it just makes you kind of hate life while you have it in a debilitating way.
I extended my stay in Texas because I can (let's hope) and because it's warm here, I can smell the ocean here and can feel the sun here. It's not quite Manly beach in Sydney but it works.
I have been staying in a beautiful Victorian styled cottage home. I have had no allergies here, no asthma, no anything. I don't sweat in abundance here (and it's warmer) I think some people's bodies were just built for specific climates.
I really hope New York City can just warm the hell up a bit before I head back over the next few days.
Dallas, Texas
The Colorado trip didn't turn out the way it was meant to go so in a last min salvage effort, the car was turned south again all the way to Dallas.
I want to say that the Dallas I have memories of no longer is there. West End was a large disapointment, the people were missing except the beggers that seemed to be everywhere wanting some change. I mean more than you see on a given day in Manhattan. All the places that were hot spots were now dead or dying. Great big ball of disapointment Dallas was.
Also, during the trip I kept count of the patriotic and religious ribbons on cars. I am up to 181 Since Feb 13.
So I'm off, Except...
While driving to Dallas to catch a flight to Los Angeles to catch a flight to Sydney, One thing was forgot to add into the equation; unpredictable weather.
Somewhere around Ardmore, OK, the weather turned to crap and the snow turned to ice and sleet and it kept freezing over the window. Driving wasn't really that bad after a while but them thar Texan's have obviously not had to deal with winter driving much and they all freaked and set the cruise to around 20-30 mph. So, I missed my flight. First time for that to happen to me.
Got set up in a nice hotel and hanging out till my rescheduled flight leaves tomorrow.
Laugh all you want, I will be on an Australian beach in a few days. Nyaaaaa.
