I've thought about places to park the motor home, both when I'm out walking and at night when I'm in it. More will be revealed as the blogging continues. The bicycle I will lock up with a bike chain somewhere and hope for the best, and at night it can stay in the motor home with me or I'll pop off the front wheel and put it in the back seat of the car. It's an inconspicuous-looking thing, and I have far less money in it total than most of the helmets and seats cost at those bike shops you serious bikers frequent, so if the worst happens, I buy a new one and shed no tears. The motor home's name is the Wagon Queen Family Truckster. No name yet for the bike. I have a Sprint card for the laptop, so I should rarely be out of Internet range.papateeunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139180752791601793.post-23349098609508583112009-09-07T19:11:23.429-04:002009-09-07T19:11:23.429-04:00So the first step is tomorrow morning?

It seems to me one of the possible difficult things is everyday finding a secure place to leave the motorhome(which needs a name by the way--and Further is taken), and likewise for the bike. Important for us followers is consistent blogging which likely means finding Wifi or similar nearly every day. These are things I have been pondering so I imagine you have been as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712647316941725262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139180752791601793.post-53784892667781586042009-09-07T12:59:15.853-04:002009-09-07T12:59:15.853-04:00I stand corrected.

Indeed, Mr. Peabody was the bare pawed dog. Is it my age? Was it the wine? Or am I just surrendering to the dumbing down of America? None of the above! I was just testing you (yeah, that’s it). I now feel more comfortable that you have your wits about you as you embark on your journey…Billie Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444341187381796606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139180752791601793.post-70426636505365482322009-09-07T00:45:43.449-04:002009-09-07T00:45:43.449-04:00Excellent suggestion.

And I thought Mr. Peabody was the dog. And while you're setting the wayback machine, let's not forget the Blackfoot Indians, who, on their trail of tears, had to walk on hot asphalt all the way to Oral Roberts's tower of prayer in Tulsa. So things could always be worse.Peter Teeuwissenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036559818566294926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139180752791601793.post-30144394402289499332009-09-06T23:16:26.750-04:002009-09-06T23:16:26.750-04:00Alright, I finally figured out how to log into thi...Alright, I finally figured out how to log into this bloody thing...and I'm not talking about your feet, fancy foot wear notwithstanding and no pun intended. So anyway, I wouldn’t give too much of a thought to your psychosomatic stuff…things will get real soon enough. Here is what I suggest: do it bare foot. Be a man! Pay homage to all those unfortunates that came before you: Sherman the dog, army ants, Napoleon Solo, Shoeless Joe Jackson. ..<br />OK, then. Week one will get you to about Alma. Your feet may be shredded, but I am sure that the victory in Ann Arbor will heal the initial wounds. After that, no sweat.Billie Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11444341187381796606noreply@blogger.com
