Here in NY

So, I am here in New York State.

I am NOT cooking.

I am NOT cleaning.

And I have done NO laundry.

It's awesome, man.

I'm here with my friend Donna, who has been comning here for 30 years.

And we are just hangin' out.

We've had a few adventures.

Crossing the border, the Border Guard was very suspicious.

He searched out luggage.

I looked back and saw him rifling through my underwears.

I felt a wee bit violated.

And then we were told to pull over to the side, and get out of the Jeep.

'Cause they were gonna x-ray it.

Seriously.

So, we stood off to the side and waited, and a border guard walked over,

(smoking..on the job.....in uniform...)

and told us that they just git this x-ray machine, and it wasn't busy at the moment, so they were gonna use the machine.

Great. Not busy, so we don't have to wait in line.

Not busy, so we do have to wait for our vehicle to be x-rayed.

Wait either way.

They were suspicious of the folding camping chairs...

I guess they looked like guns.

Anyway, we got through.

And got here, to Watertown.

Today we had many adventures.

One of which was locking the keys in the Jeep.

In a gigantic Target's parking lot.

With much scrambling we were able to contact AAA.

They promised to send a tow truck.

An hour and a half later, there was still no tow truck.

So, I went over to the Jeep to give breakin' in a try.

Donna had left the drivers side window open a crack,

and I had a kite.

So I used a piece of the kite's frame to try and push up the little lock lever.

(WRONG LEVER!!)

No, not really. Just need to say that whenever I say Lever.

(Wrong LEVER!)

Well, the kite frame was to flimsy.

So, I fastened a sort of hook out of the plastic, and used the kite string, and went fishing.

Just call me Macgiver.

(Man, I loved that show! So many uses for bubblegum!!)

It took a couple tries, but I got it.

So, we waited and hour and a half for a stupid AAA guy, and it took me only 15 minutes.

So, we never actually went into the Target.

Well, except for Donna, who bought the kite.

We left immediately, and went and got ice cream.

And now we feel much better about life.

Ice cream does that for a person.

Okay, that's it.

Will post all the pictures when I get home.

Kiss my kids for me, those who are able.

And pat my dogs.

And feed my chicks.

I miss them all.

Bye from New York!!!
