Trailer Envy is Contagious

Monday,September 13

Now Dan has it.  We were invited aboard our neighbors' big rig.  Big mistake.  Now we feel like Ma and Pa Joad.  Get a load of this.

Real leather, real wood, real nice.

And the kitchen!  Double wide fridge and freezer,two sinks AND a dishwasher.

But this is what did me in - a washer/dryer combo on board.  Now I know why no one else was taking advantage of the lovely, brand new, FREE laundry facilities here.

Okay, maybe if I had a million dollars this wouldn't be the first thing I would think of to spend it on, but if someone were to GIVE me one of these babies I maybe wouldn't say no.

We shuffled back to our little shack and consoled ourselves with a slab o' ribs, a bucket o' beer and Tom Waites by the banks of the Mississippi.  Oh, and a little Benedictine in the moonlight.
