September 26, 2006 was in Jefferson City MO

I started this blog nonchalantly or chalantly I am not sure when I was sitting in a hotel room in Jefferson City MO after a day of work on September 26, 2006. Happy anniversary or something. Well, it is not Sept 26 but I am in Jeff City again. I did not work, though. I started the day in Evansville IN after leaving Harrodsburg KY the day before. I stopped in Evansville because A] it was getting late and B] there was a stormfront coming through. Bad bad storm that killed a lot of people in the south. I started the day at Denny's at 58° and after going about 10 miles down the road the rain started again and the temperature dropped to about 33°. I was supposed to get to work in Jeff City about 1:30 PM but I goofed off. Two things.

1] I stopped to take another look at that 1982 R100RS east of St. Louis and take some pictures. I am pretty sure that I am going to get that beast with some of my tax refund.

2] I detoured to escape monotony and took a different road that was so much more fun and took more time! I left I70 where it said Truxton exit and went down into the Missouri River valley to US(?) 94. I had no traffic at all the whole route before me or behind me; no one to pass! I had a million tight curves and so much to look at. What a fun road; I would like to come back on a sunny day on a motorcycle.

I hear so many reports about the heavy snow at home; about 12". I wonder what that is really like. I wonder how it will be going home on Friday. ...

I called CC because Beth said that I should and was totally hooked on her converation. I feel so natural around her. So comfortable? at least relaxed. That was on Sunday. I spoke with her again for a while last night.
