What a Long Day



By the end of the day of March 11, I had purchased 6 new tires. I was glad to see that day end. When the first tire went, it really BLEW. The second one wasn't as dramatic. It took more than 30 hours before everything was finalized and I was back on track, but there were many things for which I was grateful: wide shoulders on the highway, AAA, and truck stops with my size tires for sale -- among other things.

It literally blew apart.

The second tire did not look so bad, but the result was the same.
Will not hold air.

I was a day late getting to Stephen Foster State Park in Fargo, GA, but it was worth the wait -- if only because it is so far out in the middle of nowhere that wifi is unavailable -- and you only occasionally get a Verizon phone signal. It is part of the Okefenokee Swamp. Remember Pogo saying "We have seen the enemy and he is us." Maybe you have to be old to remember Pogo, plus you had to be a comic reader, but his wisdom is no more true than it is today.

Thanks for reading.
