St. Louis

See ya St. Louis. Thanks for the cheap gas, huge arch, the horrible waiting line for the ride up it to which I said nope, and free attractions within your rippling green grass park of fame and fair. I saw your awesome art in the building that you built for it. I saw your zoo, what with your lonely and sometimes hyperventilating animals, including your hippopotamus and its feces-fiesta. Did you know hippo's tails are actually used to project feces like a pressurized cheese grater? They are. I suggest muting that and pairing it up with Rainy Mood. A blue cheese and chardonnay.

I also took reigns to a wicked kite and was taught how to fly it. I also played guitar and started an awesome song, with a strong positive feel. Today was a good day. Here's a recap in a form that doesn't require literacy. I'm going to chill for a bit while that uploads on this Lowe's Guest Wifi. ---- And it stopped at 30%. I'm going to upload the video tomorrow at a Starbucks, maybe.

Next stop is Kansas City. There i'll plan for a long drive plus camping out for a night to split it up. Except I'm going to be in or around my car so I can't call it camping. Let's call it Cheating. Then I'll be in Denver for a day. Then Salt Lake City. Then I go camp through the Tetons, Yellowstone and hopefully Glacier National park over the course of a month. I have until early to mid September to have the full parks open, but that's totally up to the snow and me.

Sleeping in the car isn't so bad. The only real downside other than my amateur selection of parking space is the lack of ceiling fan. I haven't felt unsafe yet but better to be ready to safeify an area so I also bought a little league aluminum baseball bat, Spiderman flavored, just in case. Dome runs if ever absolutely needed. 14 ounces of prevention are better than a pound of cure.

Onward.
