1:10 pm - Well, so far I count three dogs, one Husky, one pregnant pit bull, and one chow chow that may soon be the pit bull's lunch, and about twenty people on this bus. We're pulling out. Prayer of protection said. We're rolling out!
3:42 pm- rest stop in Sacramento, no munchies in sight, California continues to smell faintly of weed...
4:20 pm- Yup, crawling in Sacramento traffic allows us to exercise our political bug. I found this quote about Trump's draconian immigration stance quite humorous:
"If they [Trump and his administration] actually are successful in building a wall, you're probably going to have a new generation of Olympic pole vaulters come about," said de Leon, state Senate President from Los Angeles. "And they'll probably be quite successful."
It's crucial to find moments of humor during times of sorrow.
6:27 pm- Man, I just had the ultimate pleasure in driving through the Sierra Nevada mountains. I took a nap in sunny Sacramento for what couldn't have been longer than an hour, and when I woke up, I found myself in a winter Wonderland high in the mountains, covered with two or three feet of snow on the ground, peppered with happy little and seriously gigantic evergreen trees whose exhausted arms were weighed down by the fluffy stuff. The plan was to see The Rockies in Denver, but this was a lovely surprise. It's a beautiful country.
