Wind, wind, go away

I pulled off the road again, even earlier than yesterday. The wind was battering me about. Once I noticed the grooves in the steering wheel at 10:00 and 2:00, and realized cars were passing me hugging the yellow line on their left side, I called it a day.

The wind is still battering us, securely snugged in a campground. Skittles cried to go out, and 1 minute later cried to come in. We'll wait out the "winter warning" until tomorrow."The sun will come out Tomorrow...Tomorrow! Tomorrow!....."

Snow, snow, go away.

I'm back on the road, and feeling good. Nice to be back in the rolling home.

I took some trips this summer, but didn't write about them. Went to Gloucester for a couple weeks, during the St. ???? Festival. It was fun - went on a sailboat cruise, a lighthouse cruise, got together with friends and a niece, and enjoyed a garden tour. Also went to CT/RI with a grandniece and grandnephew. The kids love the ocean like I did when I was their ages. We saw the aquarium in Mystic too. Worth a visit. I spent time in Maine - up at Moosehead where we stalked a moose, and down at the shore in the south. There we sampled clam chowder at every place we went.

This week I was trying to leave home before any snow came. I was targeting the 27th, but decided to stay another day because of the storm. So then I targeted the 28th, but didn't get everything ready in time, so I took off today, the 29th. I figured I would leave before the snow started at home, and hoped I would get ahead of the storm, since it was brewing in the ocean. I got into New Jersey before I was inundated with those BEAUTIFUL, but ANNOYING white flakes. I went by a couple accidents, and felt the driving was not the best.

I pulled into a truck stop. I'll be staying here for the night. But, of course, it's only the afternoon.  I decided to write this, and then play my games, and read. Skittles is bored. She slept all the way down. She'll go back to sleep when she decides she wants to be warmer and climbs under the covers.
