Day #42 Ten Hours +

A Large Rat...
As I parked last night to eat dinner a large rat ran across the sidewalk.  I moved to a spot around the corner.  Apparently in most large cities, and there would be no reason to not assume small cities, as well, there is at least one rat per person.

A Long Day of Driving...
Ten hours with two business stops and two rest area stops and one stop for gas at Deer Valley which was on top of a bluff made for a long day.  It seems that you could do a lot of good thinking while driving.  People who go off to prison (white collar) believe that they are going to read and better themselves.  I've known a couple of white collar criminals.  They said they read very little and simply played basketball and they did not get very good at that.  Being in a car for a long time is much like being in prison.  The food is bad.  You are in a cramped space.  Other people in your space smell bad and you get tired of whatever it is that they want to talk about and finding a clean pleasant place to use the rest room is impossible.

There were no conclusions, insights or deep thoughts.  Thursdays are my favorite and most productive days of the week.  We'll see how tomorrow goes.
