Man, I could have met a LOT of people in the last couple of weeks. I shall share some of the people I could have met if I had time to stop now:

1. Devi
2. Devil Moon
3. Escape Artist
4. Stormy Doctor
5. Violent A
6. Skeet
7. Time enough for love
8. Bunkum
9. Catfat
10. Logan
11. Green Leaky Nips
12. Firedrops
13. Site
14. Lady Sianna
15. monkey sSlave
16. Back from the dead
17. American Junkie
18. Lu, and others willing to visit me around Houston, which never actually happened.

I just thought I'd let you know how VERY CLOSE you were to getting to hang out with me. When I went through baton rouge I was kicking myself for not even having numbers to call. Seemed like the right thing to do at the time. I drove through, listening to Oldies (louie louie was on when I got into the city) on my way to N'awleans.

I didn't buy anything for any of you.

I still love you though.

Lu was going to meet me at a MALE STRIP CLUB, by the way. Pure indeed.

Good to be home.

You drove? For some reason I thought you flew. What highways did you take when going past my joint?

Well, near if not through... I can't remember each and every highway, but I know there was some 75 going on, 288, 90 I think, 3_, Tons of different routes. I kept thinking (how geeky am I?) about how many people I could have met had I been given the oppertunity to spend a day or so in each state. I definitely should have met the Texans, but alas, did not. My family is skeptical about the net, you see. Basically we took two different routes. The faster one was on the way down. Driving through New Orleans took up a lot of extra time (no diagonal... just east and north that way). On the way home, I stopped in N.O. for a hurricane, to smell the piss n' vomit, and to have our car bumper scratched... then off to Tn to stop in Ruby Falls. It was a waste of money, but I think I would like to actually learn to go caving for real (although after seeing some of those entrances, I'm not so sure I'd fit). I also made it down to Monterrey, Mexico The girl was retardedly in love, but by the time we left she was hanging up on him (who knows how long that'll last). She has no respect for her mother though, which is sort of sad.

Drove all the way baby. Getting there only took about 34 hours including all stops, etc. The way back took about 40, but included even more stops. Living in a car is rough. I don't think I'd be able to live in the French Quarter, but since baton rouge isn't far, maybe I'll take up residence with slight, logan, catfat, GLN, et al. I'm not even sure I went directly past your city, but I was close enough that I'd only be an hour away, thus could have met you if I had more time.

One day I should do the same journey over a two week period and stop in each respective city to chill with everyone and see whatever worthy sights there are.

Just a hint: Don't bother going to Loredo(to?) or Monterrey to buy pottery. We found a cheaper place off the highway in Tx. I got a huge rod iron sculpture while there for $26 USD. It would be over 100 around here... and I'm certain that place was far cheaper than any other one we went to (incl. the "real" market in Monterrey).

I got to go to Waffle House and IHOP to see what everyone fusses/bitches about. I still like cracker barrel more. I have been eaten by fire ants as well, and still have a few bite marks to prove it (they are NASTY). I don't know how the kids from LA can deal with the freakin' mosquitoes. I was glad to get home to brick houses, and lots of greenery. There's no place like home

Heh, sounds like it was a good trip (maybe because of the conspicuous lack of asylumites? hee hee). I'm about an hour off I-57, so you would have had to hop a few highways to get over this way.

Were you looking at Louisiana to live, or was that "I don't think I could live there" comment just a comment? That would be site, there though, not slight. Both cool chaps though.
