Brain cancer is...
...spending the day in Texas.
We have truly learned to appreciate a long day of doing nothing on the train. We are very busy watching America roll by. Ok, and also listening. Some Team D members (Mom!) liked the word pictures we painted rolling to Chicago, so here are two favorite quotes from the observation car today:
- "You know I was raised a communist."
- "Of course kiwis grow well in Montreal."
We have no way of authenticating either of these statements.
To share a bit about our new friends, Judy and Bob, please know:
- They boarded with us in New Orleans.
- We saw them the day before at the museum.
- They are going all the way to LA...
- ...and traveling on to their home in Oxnard.
- They have a daughter who lives in Goleta.
- Bob was an engineer.
- Bob's naval helicopter was shot down the day before the Tet Offensive in Vietnam. No PTSD.
- Bob and Judy were high school sweethearts from Janesville, Wisconsin.
We will stop here, but some Team D members may pick up on a few connections.
We are leaving Texas soon, for New Mexico, Arizona, then Palm Springs.
Here's how busy we were in Texas:
