    there was nothing smooth yesterday,,,the rains were unbearable around Oklahoma City yesterday,,,,,I just about wrecked my motorhome on those concrete barricades on the freeway from all the road constructions,,,,,that rained HAMMERED me for 10 hours straight,,,,,,so today I left Shawnee, Oklahoma, drove through Arkansas, past their most famous landmark, turned left at Graceland, went up through Missouri, crossed the Mississippi River into Illinois, survived the trip over the Worlds most scariest bridge over the Ohio river down into Kentucky, and am now sitting in my motorhome in WideLoads yard, hooked up to his wi fi and kicking back after 4 days of sitting down and driving,,,,,

    Why are you in the middle of the road in the middle of your favorite bridge? Those west coast mirrors won't hit both sides.

    We actually could use a good rainfall in Massachusetts...way too much pollen this spring. Send it this way Don. Thanks, Vanny. Hope you're having a good visit!
