On the road

Kadizzle is up at six in San Antonio.  Awakening in the Garage MaHal.  Ned and Kadizzle wandered into San Antonio after dark and met with an old childhood neighbor from Wheeling. Thankya Jesus he put us up for the night.  Kadizzle got the very nice garage apartment all to himself and got a good nights sleep.  A vast improvent over sleeping in the van.  

Yesterday was one of the longest drives ever.  From Demming, New Mexico we drove and drove.  The striking thing about the the southwest is the vastness, and next is the ramshackle disordly developement.  One cannot help as you drive along the border,  which we did all day, that 21 billion could sure make a lot of improvements other than a wall.  Ned hates Trump so much he does not permit Kadizzle to mention his name.  Trump must be reffered to as 45.  Trump is an amazing idiot, and the man has never even visited most of the United States in any meaningful way.  Trump has flown over a lot, but until you get out and walk, drive, sleep, eat, and live on the ground you never see the country.  Trump like so many of his ilk have no idea of how vast the poverty is in this country.  People living in shacks will get to see billions go up in flames with the great wall. L

Driving across America you cannot help but think what a vast mess it is.  So many cities with the worst developement and zoning.  Each rat infested town is pretty much the same with the strips of car washes, hamburger friers, car dealers and the normal mess of check cashing, Walmart nonsense.

Maybe it is winter and that makes things worse.  A few green leaves hide a lot.  Today we bust on over to Houston.  

Yesterday’s big thrill was a motorhome on fire beside the highway.   The thing was cooking pretty good and it was surprising the police let people drive by so close.  It occurred to Kadizzle that  no down there were some propane tanks in there cooking.
