I realize I feel terrible. I realize that’s coloring how I post. So if you wanna just pass this on by without reading it, I won’t be offended, but I do have a gripe. I’m trying not to be affected by these commercials for animals that are out in the cold where they show me animals being snowed on or animals out in the heat with flies, crawling all over them And I wonder did I need to see that or did they need to just rescue those animals and tell me what kind of conditions they were found in because it’s just disgusting that they were used in a guilt campaign because what else is it? I know I’m supposed to send money because it’s the holiday and my plate is full and I’m surrounded by love and happiness and family and food and these poor animals don’t know where their next meal is coming from. I’ve been in rescue a long time. Sympathy adoptions don’t last. Let him throw a blanket over the cold ones let them shoo the flies and rescue the ones that are out in the heat, but I don’t need to see it before they do. Some of the ones I rescued were in homes and being treated pretty badly one cat in particular. OK, that’s it. I feel better.

And heading out.
Our month long stay here in St Pete has come to an end. We are going to Pensacola for a few days to visit my big sister and Miguelito. Then on to Atlanta.
I’ve taken the decision not to trailer the scoot. I will ride it to Pensacola and then to Atlanta. My beautiful bride will drive my little black truck, The Dude, as a ‘chase’ vehicle.
We will have several planned stops to meet up, so I can get fuel. Once The Dude has been filled up, he could make both legs of the trip with fuel to spare. The scoot only has a 5.5 gal tank, and gets about 35 miles to the gallon. Also, I don’t like it to get much below 1/2 a tank, which is about 1 1/2 hours of riding any away.
We are going by the Prodigals new place so I can repair a counter top this morning. I couldn’t do it over the weekend because they’d just had their wood floors refinished. We couldn’t walk on them until today.
