Entry for September 16, 2006, MY MYTHICAL ROAD TRIP!!!!

I pulled myself out of bed early this morning  and had my cup of coffee to get this old body and mind in gear. I only drink one cup each morning but in my defense, my cup holds about two cups. I head upstairs to my little world and my Compaq. The weather is cool this morning and I think I'm going to get the 40 Ford street rod out and take a trip before my wife gets up. I want be gone very long as I am going to Decatur, Ill. I will try to find Bluestar Tam. I have some ROSES to give her for the nice poem she penned for my neighbors who have been married 50 years this next week. I'm pulling out of the driveway on my way to Manchester, Tn. to hit I-24. I'll stop and gas up this old ford,  there is a station selling gas at $2.18. Finally I hit the old I-24. The trip want take long as I set the cruise on 90 and hope I don't see MR TROPPER.  Just into Nashville and had to slow down, traffic is tight but I've made it around Music city and back up to speed. The state of Kentucky goes flying by and finally the State of Illinois is under the old ford. Changing Interstates now traveling I-57.  Thats Mt. Vernon, Ill. up ahead better stop and fill up and hit the bathroom. Had a Pepsi and back on the road again. I'll be getting off I-57 and taking Highway 36 to Decatur. Man I should have slowed down , the blue lights are flashing behind me so I pull over . The lady cop ask man I didn't think that old ford could go that fast, I clocked you going 85 in a 45 zone, whats the hurry??? I'm on my way to find Bluestar Tam, I have some ROSES for her and I didn't want them to wilt. Do you know where she lives?? Man you are in luck, I'm her twin sister, Brightstar. Follow me I will give you a police escort to her home. We arrive at her home, they tell us she will be out in a few minutes, seems LIKE she is on her COMPUTER. That don't suprise me I tell Brightstar. Bluestar Tam this is Nick b from Tennessee he has something for you . As I shake her hand I give her a big bunch of Roses. Thanks Bluestar for composing that great poem for my neighbors. Not very often do you ask a stranger to do you a favor and get these kind of results. I know it took some time and effort on your part to do this for me. THANKS AGAIN!!!! This trip was not for real but Bluestar Tam writing the poem for my neighbor was the real deal!! I'm glad to say the trip back home didn't take long at all I just BACKSPACED BACK HOME.  REGARDS
