**********************************************************
6,622 miles, round trip. That’s a long way.. Seeing America in a state of suspended animation. On pause. It was weird. I hope it soon returns to normal. Whatever that is.
Each state had its own vibe. Some people didn’t give a shit about masks and quarantine – some were paralyzed with fear.
We really live in two Americas. Maybe multiple Americas. A patchwork quilt of belief systems. “One nation, under God, indivisible” should be excised from The Pledge. Now, everybody has their own America, their own “truth” and their own God. It‘s irreparably divided.
Maybe irreparably damaged.
What could unite it?
Calamity usually unites people. A terrorist attack seemed to do that 19 years ago. One would think a pandemic would, too. But it’s polarized America even more. What will it take to make America whole again? No leader from this planet can, that’s for damn sure.
This last leg of the journey went from Hayti Missouri to LA. There were a few stops along the way.
Here’s some of what I saw.
Texas vs New Mexico. Guess which I prefer?
The gateway to Erick, Oklahoma, home of famed singer, Roger Miller.
Erick is also home to Harley.
He owns a weird little shop and a bunch of guitars, but refused to play any of them. He claims the main character of the movie Cars was based on him.
There’s a point in most journeys where you max out on the road (or sea) and want home. Your own bed, bathroom, couch, refrigerator.
6,622 miles was enough.
Until next time.
