Hmm. Alright.<\/p>\n
To get there and back is 3500 miles via Denver, which would run about $1400 in gas, but zero for motels doing it My Way.<\/p>\n
At least one set of new tires and an oil change; figure another $800. <\/p>\n
Twentyfive hundreds, with a tight budget for incidentals. <\/p>\n
However … <\/p>\n
If I’m transporting any passengers I’d likely need to bring the trailer for the extra sleeping berth. Tires for that beast, well I’d be guessing, but another $500 might cover it. <\/p>\n
I’m willing to risk any breakdowns and just charge them to my groaning cards. I’m willing to cover a parking place if no safe free ones can be found within 100 miles of the Lake Michigan coast. That seems fair. Perhaps even magnanimous.<\/p>\n
I will begin thinking seriously about a GoFundMe around Christmastime. <\/p>\n
In the meantime, potential co-pilots are encouraged to apply early, so I can know what to ask for when the time comes–I mean, some might want a shower and a continental breakfast along the way too–and what names to ask for it under. <\/p>\n
The civilized will say: Just fly for fuckssake! but those people are the same ones that heard about my keto journey and just told me to get on board with Ozempic, which demonstrated a rather total lack of understanding of who I am and what I’m becoming. <\/p>\n
It’s come to the point where I feel the same regarding car rentals too I’m afraid. <\/p>\n
You are of course always welcome to engage in honest dialogue (about anything anytime)–and even try to change my mind–but on that latter score I don’t feel sanguine about your chances, and my apologies for any character flaws or intransigence in advance. <\/p>\n
As ever, god bless us. <\/p>\n
Every one. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
