Hello again, kiddies. I arrived home yesterday evening and in a couple of hours I'm going to be back on the road. Tonight I'll spend the night in Memphis. That's right. On the 25th anniversary of Elvis's death. It should be interesting.
Nothing truly remarkable has happened in the last few days. I saw a few accidents, a bunch of border patrol (la migra!) searching Mexican buses, and some chic in a car who had her skirt hitched up to her waist. Woo, dammit.
The EG&G guys were already gone when we arrived at the Yuma Proving Grounds on Tuesday to pick up the Meerkat and support vehicle. The engineers with the little tank were still out there. They were kind enough to help us load the same crate they unloaded for us last week. I don't know what they're working on out there, but they're not working very hard. As we were tying down the vehicles they stepped outside every five minutes to watch us. Finally it seemed that they gave up all pretext of doing their jobs and retired to a picnic table under a covered tent and sat to observe us. I didn't realize what we do is so frigging entertaining. Weirdo geek types.
I had a dream two nights ago about Jeremy Taggart. I had caught him doing some kind of Indiana Jones impersonation on video and he was pleading with me not to show it to anyone. He has such pretty curly hair. :) Someone had slapped a Pookie name tag on him and I wanted a picture with him wearing it. One of my old school friends, Heather, was there. Amber Benson, too. I asked Amber to take a picture of Jeremy and I, but she couldn't because the battery on my camera had died. I always carry a spare, but Heather had taken off in my black Peterbilt and my camera case was in it. I really wanted that picture, so Amber and I went looking for her. We found her on the top of a mountain. She was crying because it was September 11th, 2002, and no one had remembered but her. I felt really bad. And I never got my picture with Pookie. Stupid dreams.
Z bought me a cord & software so I can get online with my laptop via my cell phone. It only connects at 14.4, but I'm frigging thrilled.
I'm still getting mondo weird Michael Jackson fan/hate mail. When I get back I'm going to do a whole new photo shoot with him and my mom's Elton John doll. Plus I'm going to put up a page with some of the email I've received. Good times... good times.
Two more weeks and I'm off for two months. I've driven over 7,000 miles since the beginning of this month. I'm so sick of driving I think I could easily hand over the keys to my truck and get a job at the post office sassing customers. Rawk. I just might do that.

Hew sweet heart... man I wish I could be in Memphis right now. But I'll let you in on a secret. Elvis IS alive.... he was the chief of police in Frost. Now he lives in the Middle-of-the-ocean. It's true he used to pick up his daughter after school. Not Lisa Marie... his other one.
I think you should get a job at hte post office here in Milford. That way you can help keep our Pagan secret. I hate to plug my site, but I wrote about our visitor yesterday. Let's just say our city is very neighborly and very christian.
Julie says Hi, we love you guys keep it up!

I saw it on the news last night, and I've been in touch with her mother via email.

unkle john ... i couldn't help but notice how they managed to leave off crosses as 'disruptive attire' as they clearly defined pentacles as such. i'm wondering if it was brought to their attention that crosses are little more than phallic symbols if they would feel any different? if that wouldn't quite do the trick then i wonder what their feelings on christmas decorations/attire would be if they realized that christmas, along with most other christian holidays, is based off of a pagan holiday ... namely that of saturnalia (roman origin). obviously they're too ignorant to know any of that. close-mindedness is a terrible affliction for which there is a cure, but those affected rarely want to see it.
