Wednesday June 13, 2007 Ferndale, WA

So it’s 8:30 here, in Ferndale, WA at the Silver Reef Hotel/Casino/Spa. I’ve just had the best complimentary breakfast of my trip at the best place to stay during the same time. Other than reasonable prices and no taxes, you’d never know it was run by Native Americans because there aren't any here.
Just a few random thoughts for those of you who were wondering, as I was attempting this trip – “what in the world is he thinking?” Well – let me tell you.
I remember thinking what a wonderful thing satellite radio is (60’s on 6/MLB) and thankful that I bought a GPS (Garmin). The clunking noise when shifting and other noises that you hear all the time are heightened when you’re thousands of miles from home. I remember the “different” kind of room I had in Key West, and despite the horrendous drive there, I remember in fondly. I remember the HEAT and the WIND. (nuff said) I wish I could have spent more time with those people that I stopped to see (and a big thank you for putting up with me). I’m amazed by how BIG agriculture is – and hopefully I’ll expound on that at a later time.
2 things that I think about daily. Just before I left home on May 22, I checked by voicemail to hear Maddie, Ethan, and Ellie singing happy birthday to me. That rendition has gone through my head on a daily basis. And finally, every evening after calling home and talking to Louise, I remember how lucky I am to be married to the best person in the whole world!!
THANKS WEEZ.
Don’t go away. There are still a couple weeks to go.
