Up at 4:30 A.M so we could be off to Philadelphia to celebrate Smiley McGumphley's fist birthday. In the back seat of the truck was a bigger than life stuffed rattlesnake from the National Monument the Mrs. just had to buy for McGumphley.
There are just too damn many people on this planet. Phoenix and then Philadelphia both are just crawling with traffic and people. Jammed on the plane and in traffic is so different from wandering the mountains. Yesterday with Diane we were miles up a mountain stream with no other person anywhere. Then today the thickness of humanity was spread like human peanut butter everywhere. Airports say it so well, the hustle bustle of people going so fast to really get from one no place to the next. It seems like our cities have grown like diseases, no planned places for people to live. Every airport seems like it was laid out by a snake slithering through the sand.
Riding to Florida with Ned, Kadizzle figured out how much of our country would be covered if all the cars were side by side. The calculation ended up showing the state of Rhode Island could be completely covered with cars. Keep in mind this does not include the buses and trucks. We worship cares. In Phoenix we buzzed past people because we were in the HOV lane. The other four lanes crawled with one person per car.
So here we are enjoying our little grand daughter pushing herself with her walker around the dinning room table to our delight. Sam and Megan have bought a home they are remodeling to move into and they are excited to show us the new place.
