Time to Go

Dawn is breaking over the east...sort of calling me home, I guess. The time stamp is still set in EST...it's actually 4:30 right now. Time to roll. This time alone. I'm a little glad, actually.

Still, many thanks to all those I've met so far. Very cool.

Farewell...Spokane...John Olsen...and Wa(r)shington State.

Thanks.

Tyler and Chef Gus, I am a little slow learning how to navigate the website. So I just read some comments and saw responses to my post. Be careful out there Tyler. I realize that I don't know that much about the dangers you faced in Iraq, but I have been driving along these Montana Roads. Knowing you have to share the road with semis is not giving me any sense of calm. I said I am an EMT. I have seen many a car wreck where alcohol and drugs were involved. It was an eye-opener to learn that many times the drivers of semis involved in wrecks had alcohol and drugs on board. That's EMT for 'in their bloodstream'. So many drivers may not be at their best. I lost a friend who survived Iraq only to fall asleep at the wheel. A good young man. Just do your best. That's all you can do. Steve Armiger. Dillon, Montana

Good Monday Morning Tyler... hoping your egress and travels to Plummer and on to Moscow went well. It was a great pleasure to have you visit Spokane and to listen to your thoughts and feelings. Your journey is proving to be as powerful for those you touch and come in to contact with as it likely is for you. Safe journey as it unrolls before you. A bientot...( til next time) John
