My other buddy was driving from out east of Fresno and was bringing his entire family. I had been filling his head full of stories of dust and desolation and art and bacon in the desert so he was jazzed and ready to go. So they were driving out on Sunday, but I was going to get to Frisco on Saturday sometime in the evening. Whether it was early or late was really up in the air.
All this was arranged and done before my day of travel so I was ready and packed by Saturday in the late afternoon and was on the road. I had to stop off at the neighborhood wally world as I needed new sleeping bags for the expedition. After the man most everything with any zippers was pretty thrashed and fairly useless, and as the sleeping bags we had had survived a few kids and a few years, I was alright with their retirement, into the trash (no gold watch for sleepy time bagulons) they went. I also needed a new phone card for the suck phone plus a hands free headset. A quick thought on hands free needs and laws. I agree completely with them and what they are trying to do, yet there are still no hands free make up application, or hands free newspaper reading laws as well and I think that perchance a law that makes you pay attention to the road if a bit bassackwards. Possibly a more restrictive law base would help restrain the populace from applying, reading, and/or any other odd home based activity to home, and not to the car as they’re traveling down the freeway. Others are driving folks, pay a little more attention.
