Given the photo, the astute reader may surmise that I am in Texas, and you would indeed be correct. The KOA at which I reside this evening offers free limo service to the Free If You Can Eat It 72 Ounce Hunk of Dead Moo. (http://bigtexan.com/72oz-steak-rules/)
No longer an eater of Dead Moo, I passed and ate my humble sandwich at a picnic table in a lovely, cool breeze.
Last night was also a KOA night. A KOA is a bit like Olive Garden or Reno's Roadhouse: Nothing fancy, but you know pretty much what you'll get. Clean bathrooms, flat sites, swimming pool, dog area, play ground, friendly (sometimes too much so at the end of a long drive) hosts, with sites a bit closer than I'd like but not too close that I get claustrophobic. After all, I'm not backpacking in the wilderness as I did in my stronger-backed younger days.
I'm on night 3 of the 1600 mile trek from Columbia to Albuquerque. I could have done it in 3 days rather than 4, but the last time I did that, I utterly exhausted myself. And why rush? It isn't as if I have to get back to work. Tee Hee......
Unfortunately, I have only one key with me, although I will have another made in Albuquerque.
Why???
It has been hot hot hot, and humidity to go along, and that has presented a real problem. With the car windows even cracked, the temperature inside would reach over 100 degrees within a very, very few minutes. Wide enough open so they wouldn't die, Abbey would be out like a shot, trailing me to my location. That has meant that I cannot leave the canines in the car long enough to go to the bathroom.....
And with that to puzzle you, I'm off to bed.

DeleteToo bad I wasn't with you. 72 oz. of dead moo (accompanied by a couple of glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon) is right up my alley!
ReplyDeleteI think for 72 oz of moo, you'd need a keg of vino!
