Everything went great but I only made it 80 miles. Now that it is flat, I did that amount in great time. I stopped here in Sidell (I think that is what this place is called) because the next town after it is a good ways away. I also only plan to go to Kessler AFB tomorrow, which is maybe 60 miles from here. Should be a pretty easy day.
Highlights: One dog chase.
Two toilets found. (Commode count = 7 now I think)
One bathtub found.
That is pretty much it though.
Every time I find a toilet, I am like "nooooo wayyyy. Are you serious?" The first one was not exactly right on the side of the road, but was visible so I count it. The next one, which the whole event was probably the best part of the day, was actually in someone's yard and used as a flowerpot. Yes. It was used as a decoration for the yard. "Nooooo Waaaayyyy!" So here is what happened with this sweet find: I am rolling along, minding my own business when I see a freaking toilet in someones front yard being used as a flower garden. "Nooooo Wayyyy" I say to myself. I happily circle around to go back for the picture. I take said picture, and, who I assume to be the owner of toilet/flower pot, gets out of the car (I don't know why she was in the car. It was not on, and had been sitting there for at least a few minutes now). This is what she says to me--no shit: "Hey you. Whatcha took that picture fer?" I say, "Because you have a toilet in your front yard. I like it." Her, "Don't be a takin pictures of my property!" Ok...I gave her a thumbs up and she gave me, well, a different finger up. So now I have this life memory forever and ever. Thank you, Ma'am.
I also kind of stumbled onto a bike/jogging path that went for at least 20 miles. No traffic and the pavement was very good. It was a nice change, but I kind of prefer the road because the cars give you something to look at and dodge. Keeps it entertaining.
Also, I stopped for a coffee in someplace. I was out by my bike drinking it and a 10 year oldish girl walked by (in Louisianian accent) and said, "Mister, that seat must be some kind of uncomfortable. It is sooo small." You have no idea sister.
I kind of realized after that, that either I broke the seat in or the seat broke my butt in because it doesn't really hurt too much anymore.
Well, that is about all for today. I have about 540 miles to go. I am thinking I should be done by Sunday or so.
Hey, my husband is in that area. Unfortunately he is going west; otherwise I'd have him give you a lift. :)
ReplyDeleteHow rude! She must have thought you were a bill collector or welfare inspector! I've been trying to convince Jim that it's great yard art, but he's not budging. I do have a "garden tub" though!!
