Ogallala Here I Come and Go and Come and Go
My daughter needs to get to Houston. Yep, hot, humid Houston by July 9th. So to avoid driving to Houston, I drove to and from Ogallala, NE.
Ogallala is a nice town. Nice people. Not too crowded (well, not crowded at all), not too modern, not too old fashioned (hey, the Transformers is playing there along with Ratatoulle the new Disney flick). And, its a long 200+ miles from home one way.Â
I did the round trip thing today. Good points? I met some nice people, spent the afternoon in air conditioning and away from the keyboard. Even got to listen to some really good music.
We listened to 80s dance music, the Police, Dan Fogelberg, and a band a friend of mine is in called Uncle Dirty Toes.
And just think…I get to do it all over again on the 18th. Lucky me.

Sounds like a great day to me, but I don’t like to travel.

You know, its a good day when your car works, the air conditioning works and you get where you’re going without mishap. And, sad as it is to say, my hands appreciated the break.
I don’t know how hot it is in other parts of the country/world right now, but its blistering hot in Denver. Running away to the movies to cool off for a few hours.
We had a big storm roll in and it didn’t drop any rain in our neighborhood. Frequently, though, the rain falls, but is absorbed in the air before it hits the ground…imagine, a dry rain.
Hope you’re having a great day, Gail
