JOURNAL ENTRY
The road seemed to be a treadmill
with the foothills
on our left never changing.
Some girls at the Park and Fly near
the Ontario (not Canada) airport shared their water and let us take
a
quick picture.
Google called it twenty two miles -
seemed a bit more
like thirty.
I decided not to include a photograph of a business that was covered with freshly painted signs -- all of them except for one faded and aged "WE SUPPORT OUR VETERANS." Not too surprising, it was at an Military and Outdoor Store. This was just another reminder of how often we seen signs and flags that would; at first glance seem to be about patriotism, that are often just advertising gimics. Maybe we could add to the tables of stone an Eleventh Commandment, Thou shalt not take the name of our nation in vein.
So many of these journal entries are just notes as I brainstorm the day's events.
I arrived at Post 497 where Linda Smith kindly offered me glass after glass of water. They have really great water in San Bernadino County, California. They also gave me bowls of chips and a great tamale.
I enjoyed my visit there and hope to return some day.
There was no way to take pictures of that project the warmth of this post.
The day began with a Ferris Wheel and moved to a treadmill.
I would have included about twenty more of these photos, but they all
looked the same.
Not Canada! Just seemed like that far.
There were no sidewalks along this busy roadway... so the tracks seemed
safer.
The highlight of this day came at the end. The truck seemed lost, but
was only
out of gas. We made our way back with a gas can and everthing is fine...
for
another day.
