Montana
– 10/16
Looong
drive today. From sunrise until well after sunset we were on the
road. While in transition we did receive some good news though.
First, the Tigers have tied it up with the Red Sox at 2 games apiece!
Second, that the government shut down has been resolved! At least
temporarily. I feel like we’ve been raising the debt ceiling a lot in the
past couple years so I’m hoping they make some ground on that before January.
We did get to go
to Dave’s house again! It is so late though that I am going to go
crash. We were treated to pizza and it sounds like Dave will be moving
back to St. Louis soon. He’s a cool guy. It will be nice to have
him around and just in time for a Tigers vs. Cardinals championship.
Fingers crossed. Good night all!
Montana - 10/17
I guess I have a
radio-like voice. On this trip I have been complimented on how I read
game cards and talk in general. This got me thinking back to my freshman
year in college where my Japanese teachers always had me read. Funny
thing is they would only have me read the English portions. Guess my
Japanese was a little lousy. Was good enough to win a speech contest in
class though! Anyhow, I think I will investigate the possibilities of
using my voice to kick start a career. Sounds fun.
Currently we are
about 7 hours away from St. Louis. As today will be another drive heavy
day, I am going to conclude my entries for our Montana trip. I promise
you aren’t missing much, just a bunch of AmeriCorps members that desperately
need a shower pulling into HQ. There may or may not also be a sexy car
wash of sorts going on for our travel-hardened vehicles, but that’s about the
extent of it. I can’t wait to spend some time with my fiancée, Haley, and
our dog, Roxy, and hopefully my fellow ERT members. Time off is a luxury
that doesn’t come around often so I’m going to make the most of it. Until
my next adventure!
Casualties of
the Montana trip:
2 water bottles
2 Tupperware
1 Trailer tire
They will be
sorely missed in the journeys to come. May they be reincarnated into
something more unbreakable like a Nalgene bottle so I can avoid future
heartbreak.
Later Montana, see you around summer time! Photo taken by Sean Kerr.
