Entered Nebraska at 7:07pm CDT (Central Daylight Time) I feel so tired an hour was stolen. Ha Ha. Still around 30min to go. Had too much fun in Colorado.
But I have to tell the bathroom emergency story. There is usually at least one with me on a roadtrip. Ok in Denver the Interstate 76 went really north of downtown. It wasn’t pretty. Mostly industrial facilities. There were no signs for places to eat or anything. Remember I said I’m hungry and I have to go. 5 minutes after that I see in the far distance a home depot. That’s all I could see. I said: let’s go there they have at least a bathroom. The only problem with home depot they usually hide them and you have to walk a mile in there to find them. I wasn’t sure I was going to make that. :-) Turns out as you get closer it’s a huge brand new shopping center. Lots of stores. Really pretty. There was also a Super Target. Target usually puts the bathrooms close to the entrance. Perfect so I got taken care of. I saw on the way into the mall a Heidi’s Brooklyn Deli. Never been to one or what it really is, but I felt good about it. Ordered a fresh tomato mozarella sandwich. Finally I could eat a non-meat meal. You also got a cookie and a choice of chips/potato salad/cole slaw and a pickle. The sandwich maker girls were really nice. At the cash register there was a funny sign and a cute sign on the tip jar which said “Karma Insurance”. I have a picture later. I put two bucks in it. On top of that they had free Wi-Fi. We sat outside. Absolutely gorgeous day. There were not a lot of people either. That was simply amazing how everything unfolded into such an incredible happy experience. I had no idea what my bathroom emergency was going to create. :-) Loved it.
Ok I have to mention that as I’m really laughing here. As I was about to write (finally no meat). I had my nose stuck in the phone and all of the sudden there comes this smell. I say like: Who in the hell shit in the car!? Sorry about the language but that’s the only way to really describe the issue. Right next to the Interstate there was one of those meat producing facilities. You can’t believe the smell. I tried to cover my nose, but nothing helped. Imagine dumping a lot of fresh shit inside a car and you might get the smell. The fact about the poor cows is not funny. Only my experience is funny as I had no idea what was going on. It felt like you got shit dumped onto you and you had no idea how or why it happened. That was a really nice welcome Nebraska!
Many times you see though happy cows which are grassing in big open fields.
