Road Trip!

     We took a road trip north to River City mainly because the weather was nice for the drive and it was good to get out from the Wayward Inn and because my Lobster wanted a bubble tea and there is a place in River City that supposedly has the best bubble tea around. I'll have a coffee thanks. Something that I dont have to chew to drink. The Oma-nator joined us on the drive spotting lots of houses she would want to live in because their so far out in the woods. She's so much fun.

     On the way up I spotted a lot of shithole properties. These are places you normally wouldn't see because of the foliage and as a driver I would have the time to stare deep into the woods along the side of the highway. As the passenger in the back of the Better Half's wheels I saw a lot of residences that would make a professional dumpster diver smile. Trucks, cars, RV's, freezers and all of them trashed nestled against collapsed buildings that people may still be living in. 

     In River City we noted the new road work past the apartment that the Travelling Relatives used to live in is pretty well completed including a new roundabout at the intersection with the road coming off of the hill. This was a smart play as drivers always found it difficult turning onto or off of that road. There are several new apartment blocks that have gone up. Some are quite nice and are more than the maximum height allowed by the Valley's moronic building codes. I had dashed into a sports shop to check on some archery stuff. Unfortunately, the staff member I needed to speak to was occupied with another person. I'll call him later. 

     On the way home we saw quite a few trumpeter swans in the fields. In the next couple of weeks they will be winging their way back north to their breeding grounds. I have to assist the Jr. Loin Fruit in putting the plates onto the Better Half's old car. We gifted it to him. Next week I'll show him how to change a tire.
