A 6-hour callout to fix a major network fault has scuppered my plans to write an interesting Naj today. So this will have to do.

But we fixed it! smiley - smiley

I hope your Sundays were more relaxing smiley - zzz

My Sunday?

The usual mix of laundry [5 loads], some walking [in this case, in the rain], a couple hours of reading, my usual Sunday crossword puzzle and comics, plus shopping.

And I've written tomorrow's NaJoPoMo about flying from New Orleans to Atlanta in a helicopter.

The day after that, my hero will travel by skateboard from Atlanta to Charleston, South Carolina.

And on roller skates from Charleston to Richmond, Virginia the day after that.

And on Thursday, which will be Thanksgiving, by motorized wheelchair to Washington, D.C. [in the rain! smiley - laugh] to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner.

Now, if these journeys sound far fetched, they are! Nevertheless, I have to do enough research to figure out what's feasible, and what's not. If no reasonable person could go the entire distance using the specified mode of transportation, a car or van will pick him up and get him to the next city in time for what touristy stuff will make for a good story. Hey, I've gotten my hero almost all the way around the world so far, with just a week left.

The very last day will be surreal, a big bang climax smiley - cool.


Originally, I intended for the hero to ride in a wheelchair, and a UFO another. Both have been dropped.

Sorry, I meant *wheelbarrow*. Someone would have to hold the handles and run pretty fast to go hundreds of miles in less than a day.

Have you considered a modified Sinclair C5?
(I still think the hero should have travelled over to the Isle of Wight by hovercraft for a day…)
