Road Trip Day 24

Home at last. Today I drove the final 90 miles in my 7,500 mile journey. I could have pushed through and made it all the way home last night. But it was getting late and I didn't want to get home at midnight.

Instead, I got home at 9:30 this morning. And I've been spending the entire day unpacking and trying to put my normal life back in order. I did also post pictures from the first 23 days of the trip. So if you haven't checked out my last 23 blog posts, you should do that. I didn't take many pictures today, partly because I didn't go very far, and partly because it was really foggy on Mt. Hood this morning.

Mt. Hood is really pretty, but thanks to the fog I can't show you any snow packed peaks today. Since it's only 90 miles away, I'm sure I'll be back. I'll try to post pictures of my next journey to the mountain.

Now I need to go do my laundry.


Joke of the Day

A man and his wife were driving across the country and were nearing a town spelled Kissimee. They noted the strange spelling and tried to figure how to pronounce it - KISS-a-me; kis-A-me; kis-a-ME. They grew more perplexed as they drove into the town.
Since they were hungry, they pulled into a place to get something to eat. At the counter, the man said to the waitress: "My wife and I can't seem to be able to figure out how to pronounce this place. Will you tell me where we are and say it very slowly so that I can understand."
The waitress looked at him and said: "Buuurrrgerrr Kiiiinnnng."

Kissimmee's a city in Florida. I always liked hearing that word in tourism commercials.

I'll look at your previous posts for the pics.
