My usual method of travel is mosey.\u00a0 I like slow travel, paying attention to the countryside and stopping when an interesting site shows up.\u00a0 I’ve never understood the folks who drive straight through, as if travel was only about making it to a destination, for me travel is the destination.\u00a0 Except for yesterday and today.\u00a0 I drove to Lincoln, Nebraska yesterday and came back today.\u00a0 It was\u00a0 doable.\u00a0 I only stopped to put gas in the truck and once to grab a hamburger, otherwise I ate food packed by Kate, a wonderful road food preparer.<\/p>\n
(Above:\u00a0 Nebraska Capitol.\u00a0 R. Iowa Capitol Building.\u00a0 I saw it from I-235.)<\/p>\n
My destination was a Motel 6 just off I-80 north of Lincoln.\u00a0 Apparently Motel 6 and pets are friendly.\u00a0 I don’t know because we don’t travel with our dogs. I met Jon there.\u00a0 He drove east through slushy snow while I drove west on clear roads with sun yesterday and back with cloudy but clement weather today.\u00a0 Sollie and Gertie are now in their crate in our upstairs entry way after an evening of sniffing and being sniffed, a couple of tussles over doorways and such.\u00a0 To be expected.<\/p>\n
I got three-quarters through a long audio book and have arrived back home as if I never left.\u00a0 Didn’t feel like travel to me.\u00a0 Felt more like long-haul trucking.\u00a0 Which it was, I guess.<\/p>\n
This is family stuff, the sort of things families do for each other, even if separated by many hundreds of miles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
