We are SO close to this Roadtrip - just 2 weeks and a few hours ( *coughs*Helsyeh!*coughs* )
so I've already given it a (temporary?) name :)

“We-SoWe” ( West-SouthWest ) Roadtrip Possibilities ::
NOTE : these are merely possibilities, not a confirmed battle plan or definite route :)

Instead of going East-Northeast ( Great Lakes/ON ) this upcoming Roadtrip, I'll be heading opposite : West-Southwest ( SD, WY, maybe as far as AZ/NV? )
With 11days from rental pick-up to last full day, lots of possibilities !
Suggestions always welcomed ( but NO big cities! )

146::
My fathre is finally back at his home - only 146 days since he'd left for a "routine procedure" *sighs*
he's turned around SO amazingly, since in the first months the odds were miniscule that he'd survive, let alone doing this well !

He remembers very little - probably a good thing? - doesn't remember my visiting at all for a week in...

taking 'advantage' of my temporarily sporadic internet, I've spent the day doing laundry & cleaning up the apartment... during which time I encountered two separate people moving out, who each had 'stories to tell' aka 'ranting to strangers' :D !!

1st fellow moving out I'd seen before, a fellow I dubbed "High Boy" due to his perpetual...

just 5 weeks away from my Roadtrip ...
yes, I still have hopes I can do my Great Lakes-Ontario roadtrip
...but if the border doesn't open & places along the lakes Ontario-side don't open, well... that'll put a li'l hamper on that direction of travel
( there's always next year? )
IF I have to shift directions, south-westward is the most likely - avoiding...

@infernum I've done all my traveling alone ( with only two exceptions in my lifetime ) - I only started doing my yearly roadtrips about 6yrs ago... it's been amazing, picking a random direction each time, no plans other than paying attention to when I need to return the car rental by :) - funny enough, everywhere I've gone, I've ended up knowing someone where I went that I hadn't seen in years ( and had no idea they lived there! ) - crazy odds!  If I do get to do my Great Lakes-Ontario "plan," I don't think I know anyone I've met before in canada, so would be the first time :)
wolfox:
@infernum the two exceptions to traveling alone weren't roadtrips - so I'm still 100% on that one *laughs*

why, yes, I did eat 6 croissants at work today & yes, I had 20 piece nuggets & large fries the other day at work ... what? don't act like you've never been hungry!
and, no, that isn't "a lot" for me - though I normally don't eat at work, this week I've been hungrier than usual

wolfox:
@spicedsoychai @shalil it's an assumption by some that I don't eat a lot, since I rarely take a break at work ... others think I don't eat a lot since I'm relatively thin ( with a well-earned additional 50lbs I blame the belly on my daughters :) )

while shopping, 30+yr old w/ his seemingly-elderly mother "mom, mom, mom, MOM, I need THESE..." [waves arms around an energy drink display] "OH MY GOD, Mooom, they have coffee now, COFFEE, MOM! mom, mom, mom, are you listening? Moooom, come back!"

unita:
Oh, so cute🥰
wolfox:
at first I thought maybe he had a medical or mental disorder, but after a bit ( and seeing them later ), just a very spoiled grown-up :(

turn on the tv & suddenly hear, as I'm turning away, "...that's 3 inches of wonderful" - have no idea WHAT the commercial was for, as it ended, but - Oi! it had me laughing my bleedin' head off :D that's what I call timing :D

Yes, things are... insane... to say the least. Locally, nationally, & worldwide.
For some reason - at least locally & a bit nationally from watching the news - people think laws & rules no longer apply :(
This could - and SHOULD - be THE perfect time for people to prove they're decent, good people, but the inverse appears to be the case...

ANYways...

First off : most humans are idiots.

Seriously.

When given the choice between doing the right, let alone legal thing, most people will do the opposite - often purposefully, if not ignorantly.
The purposeful ignorant are out in droves - and either don't understand or don't care how it will affect others :(

I'd make a 'case in point,' but all you really have to...

My friends have - and DO! - run the gamut on many things :
personalities, races, nationalities, body types, mental types, abilities & disabilities, social 'status,' beliefs - and lack thereof, etc etc

the majority of my friends I've met in - or within a mile of - Minnesota ... many whom were only in the state a short time :)
which has led -...

What do we do...?

so many ways to complete this question as there are ways to answer it, complete or left as is...
it depends on the moment, the emotion, what is on the mind of the one who asks at the time

"what do we do...? - it can be as simple or as complicated as replacing the 'we' with 'you'
again, depending on...
