h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

hello fellow person coming from that general area!!!
hehehe, so i see you found my article thingy, entry? whatever.

Just checked out the Owasso entry again. It looks really good. Thanks for the note. Oh, I forgot to mention Garth Brooks & his ex-wife, Sandy, are in Owasso.

Could I be added to the list of Texas researchers, please? I'm in Arlington, Texas (when I'm not stranded in Alabama, that is).

Wow... I think I hear "Dueling Banjos" heading your way GT.

I should be free tomorrow. (touch wood) Would you believe I had to order a car part from Alamagordo, New Mexico?

Jeeze. What broke?

Well, it's the shifting linkage for an old 3-on-the-tree shifter in a 1969 Ford Econoline van. There's these two little arms, you see, and they're just locked right together. If you don't mind just staying in second gear forever, it's not a problem, but it would take me a long time to get to Dallas that way, and if I'm going to drive across Mississippi and Louisiana in a suspicious-looking white van, I'd just as soon do it at a reasonable clip.

Anyway, the climate in New Mexico is great for preserving old cars, and the climate here in Alabama... ain't. I'm just glad I finally found the thing. I've been stuck here for over a week now.

I had wondered what you were doing in AL if you were from Dallas. Car problems explain a lot. I recall a time I spent 8 hours at a truck stop on the interstate... Just remember not to move at too much of a clip through LA. I hear their hwy patrolmen don't like speeders.

Thanks , that's good to know.

I didn't think anybody in LA liked anybody.

Not sure about that. Although I also heard that city patrolmen are afraid to stop to help people sometimes because you never know who's carrying. That could be said of a lot of places though. I don't think that's a job I would like.

Planning to hit the road in less than 48 hours... not carrying... am however drunk... going to sleep now....

Poor thing. I hope you don't have a .

hopefully he'll be sober and without a for the drive...

Driving with a really sucks...

Doing anything with a sucks.

aint that the truth...

I had a this morning, driving across town with my friend to pick up a Ford Explorer, then following him back across town to a mechanic's shop. Miserable - not only a hangover, but the memory of the damn fool I made of myself in front of what were probably two perfectly nice girls last night. I shouldn't even go to bars.

The headache wore off as I watched the good-ol'-boy mechanic change the part on my van, and was just a distant memory tonight when I was at a meeting full of communists listening to one of Che Guevarra's old cronies talk about life in Cuba.

Life sends you to the weirdest places, if you let it. I'll see your and raise you a Trotsky pamphlet. Tomorrow: Jackson, Mississippi.

Embarressed? By behavior after having too many s? I have NO idea what you're talking about. I can't relate at all. I've NEVER done THAT before... except this one time...

I did that once and by some sort of good grace blacked out on the whole thing... until one of my friends was kind enough to enlighten me as to my behavior...
