Possible rut

[skr 1]

Today was when we were planning to leave
for Christmas at Eloy.

As I was loading the car this morning I flashed
back to Christmas 1964, breakfast, in a town
called Weedpatch.

We were planning to jump at Arvin (California)
that day but the valley fog had set in and you
could only see a few feet, so we drove around
and found a cowboy bar in Weedpatch that
served breakfast.

I don't think I've been home for Christmas since
I started jumping.

I may be in a rut.


It was dark and cold and snowing at 5:30 this
morning and I (we) were reluctantly starting to
acknowledge that maybe driving through Denver
rush hour, down through Colorado and over
Raton pass in the middle of major snow storm
was maybe not wise. Especially since the storm
was moving south and we would be in it most of
the next day too.

So after two or three hours of indecisive dithering
we decided to wait until Friday.

That's progress. I may be in a rut, but I think I'm
making progress.

I guess we could always stay a couple days
longer on the end. We try to allow a couple
days slack on the end in case there is a big
storm when we're coming back.

Progress, but only as much as necessary :-) :-)

Glad to hear you and DJan are going to wait before leaving town.

You have a great time, and give everyone hugs for me. I'm staying home this year, since I have another road trip planned for Jan. to Florida.

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey
