Guessing the mileage is near 2,500 miles. It was 2,200 yesterday and I forgot to mention it, and I put on ~240 miles today, so.. I’m not catching the round numbers very well. I don’t care. Passed a sign today that warned of “sunken grade” which apparently is notifying that the earth under the road…

That means do nothing but laundry day. Got up late. Well, late for the tip, eight. First, I went for coffee. On the way to the Maritime Museum I saw a boat and decided to chase it down to the bridge, so I could send a picture to my boat nerd sister. (I’m a bigger…

It was a day. Short drive, but long in interesting stuff. I woke up seriously early and thought I could just get on with it and have time at the end of the day. Which was great, as I needed the afternoon nap more than I needed a snooze bar in the morning. Tomorrow I…

I said when I left my job I was going to get in my car and drive west until I found an ocean. Today I got in my car. I’ll be posting frequently, as this trip is actually considered therapy by my care team, and it’s all about reflection. Itineraries have been emailed to a…
