Ahhh, it's only bad for a short bit, and then only if the wind is "right".

My first five years were spent on a dairy farm in Minnesota, and it's amazing the thoughts and memories a scent will sometimes cause to be recalled.

You mean, like your first "girlfriend"?

Barnyard aroma doesn't bother me either. But the sight of the cattle standing around in their own mess disgusts me. Do they mind? Or are they wondering what the hell? Yesterday I was wandering around in Wyoming.

They are probably running the misters 24/7 right now.

Thanks for the warning... How long were you up here? How far up did you get?

We actually head into Blaine quite a bit now for cheap gas, what with the gas pig we just bought.

Great seeing you two also Liz! We got our Burgerville fix and a good nights sleep so we'll be on our way in a little bit.

And safe. Good for you.

I make that trek to Albany later this month, and don't have to push it, either, this time.

But 55 the whole way is going to about kill me. Maybe we'll take 99, at least to Sacto.

Have a good drive. Where's "home" tonight?
