Awoke alone this morning for the first time. MSO couldn't
get with the program anymore and bailed out at a train
depot in Fletcher's Corners yesterday.When we arrived
there to see the only still operating Blackmer's
All Electric gas station pump dating to 1934,it turned out
that the weekly train that stops at Fletcher's Corners
stops on Thursdays and yesterday was Thursday and when
MSO heard this, you would have thought she had won the
Quatermania Jackpot.
I had hoped to enjoy last night's feast with MSO ,but
life goes on, so I soldiered on alone.I took out from the
50 pounds of dry ice that whole pig I had bought from the
pig farmer we ran into on our way to the nulear bomb test
area.He assured us that all radiation levels in the
ground and water had returned to near normal.So I
skewered the rascal with a 6 foot length of that rebar we
picked up back in Vegas and roasted the fella for about 5
1/2 hours.Needless to say,after an hour,I was naseous and
about 98% of the swine remained.At least until, a minivan
of Norwegian archeologists happened
by and I,of course,invited them to partake
of the porcine delights.They had never had
roasted pig before, and I'm not sure how much they
enjoyed it;they kept looking at each other with a strange
expression that I guess is normal in Norway.Afterwards we
smoked some funny leaf that a toothless old man on a
donkey had traded with us for a 6 pack of Heinekens.I
don't know what it was,but those Norwegian archeologists
lost all of their Scandinavian sangfroid and then some.A
wild night was had by all!
Well,that's it for now.I'm really getting hyped for Day
165 which is coming up pretty soon.I'll be going to an
odd, tiny former silver mining town that time forgot
where it's rumored that every December 1,in some sort of
demented religious tradition,they hold a Lottery and the
"winner" is stoned to death.I've got my new Canon 14lsi
digital video camera and am hoping for some first class
footage.If MSO only knew what she was missing!!
