Memphis Again!

9:53 PM 10/12/2005

Well, in a weird turn, I'm on my way back to Memphis. I can't really put this in words, but I just wasn't comfortable in Baton Rouge. Nothing specificly bad, just had a weird feel. I felt better being on the road, almost from when I first decided to go.

Lots of weird things, one big one is being almost broke I guess! I have enough gas to get back to Memphis, and I have options when I get there, between some shelters and people I've met, so I should be ok.

I also may be doing a paid wedding, for a friend of someone I met in Memphis, so "maybe" things will be even good!

For now, I'm at a rest stop just inside of Mississippi state line (the MS / LA line). Its nap time!

Bye for now... Carlin

Ok, back in Memphis again! At least I kind of know my way around here... and some people kind of know me, etc. Anyway, I'm here for at least a few days. More later.

In other news, I'm basically broke, out of gas, and exhausted. Think for now sitting still and starting some editing sounds like a good plan. My original working plan had been to edit 2 or 3 days a week, but I just never really got into that routine. I'm kind of feeling like the burn out cases, like combat fatigue maybe. Too much driving, not enough down time.

More on that later.

I've put on 3841 miles so far. No wonder I'm out of gas money!

According to the map software, if I go down to New Orleans again, then into Texas, then go home, it should be about 3300 miles to get home, all together. I've been getting 20 miles per gallon, and the most gas has been so far is just under $3 per gallon. It was actually pretty cheap down in Baton Rouge, like $2.69. So $500 for gas should get me home. No problem!

"... the universe is a plentiful place, and I'm not greedy. I will get what I need, when I need it..." but now would be good, too!

Life is good!
