38/30: Reflections
for AJW
In Southern Pennsylvania, Gettysburg, to copy, sort of, AJW's, line, tho he was down here for
a Civil War Reenactment, Da Butcha and DaS Ginger Mann are here for no reason 'cept it's mighty interesting...
Battle at Gettysburg, turning point in War between the States, encompasses the entire township, the National Park is Gettysburg and surrounding fields, decimated by cannonade, barrage of mortars, lead flying every which'a way, smoke, fire, explosions, turning prime farmland into a war torn toxic super fund site, stench of death permeating everything!
Bodies buried where they lay, exhumed and reinterred in Gettysburg National Cemetery on nearby hill or embalmed and transported home to family plots; ghosts walk these grounds, spirits of unfound dead, bodies blown to bits and scattered to the wind, trampled underfoot by advancing-retreating troops; ground blessed and hallowed by Prez Lincoln, frees energies, releases to Universe, some remain as Guardian Sentries, protecting their brethren who baptized the earth with their blood, sacred are these acres and village, walk the paths with utmost respect for sacrifice...
Gettysburg Battle
rest now ye weary soldiers
be at Peace on hill
Land of Free because of the Brave
you will never be forgot.
- Amen -

North American
Indigenous Tribes, Nations,
Civilizations,
one with Mother Earth,
Great Spirit, Heavens Bodies

preserving nature,
giving back, part of cycle,
pristine environs,
oral history passed down,
left no written evidence,
generations grown
respecting planet an' den...
Europeans came - - -

Mari-ju-wanna
Legal Recreational
or Medicinal,
allegedly in
Ohio and Maryland,
would never know it,

dispensaries, grow houses,
few and far between,
mostly urban areas
and bizniz very low key;
cruise thru New Jersey,
hit up on the way pot shoppe,
Googled easily -
**
43/30: Supplies Running Low

45/30: Inconsiderate Cake
[one]
Inconsiderate,
rude, pushy, top speed scofflaws,
interrupting flow;
damaged signs, guardrails,
blown tires and body parts
litter thoroughfares;
chrome plated debris
evidence of incidents
and it's no wonder,
the way folks drive around here
accidents are a given;
thought Massachusetts
drivers alleged "Massholes",
other states take cake -
**
46/30: Rolling Along
Homemade oat cookies,
chocolate, nuts, spices,
Geo' Wa' Bridge snack
traffic jam...as usual
super tramp a long way home -
**
47/30: Handling Package
Nissan Rogue, Rogu,
powers thru back ups like champ,
trusty vehicle -
**
48/30: Inconsiderate Cake
[two]
Highway speed limits,
50 to 70 zones,
slow thru construction;
Blueways rate varies
traversing mountain S-curves
and zipping past fields;
double yellow lines
dashes freeways' white brethren,
out-rightly ignored;
sportsters slolum between lanes,
mach-1 racers, alone, groups...
town, state, federal
Driver Safety Traffic Laws
are more like...Guidelines -
**
49/30: Hey, Ginger, What Time Is It...?
2 hours jammed up,
jump off at Comfort Station
somewhere in C. T,
take a break driver eight time,
half chick' sal' sub, dirty Chai -
**
50/30: Refreshment
Clog clears as chow down,
Chinese Fire Drill, DaB drives,
DaS, the passenger -
**
51/30: One More Night & Day
Our heroes, Da Butcha and DaS Ginger Mann arrive alive at DaS Pad, Bellevediere Heights Lowtown, unload Ginger's gear, and Butcha motors off to The Think Tank, Dracule, unloading his gear directly into his Poet's Garret where an unmade bed waits; what...no room attendant...
Housekeeping?!?!
Da Butcha captures fast fading thoughts at his Writer's Desk before crashing onto a pile of pillows and a naked mattress, to sleep on his New Experiences from 5 days...On the Road to Find Out About Serpent Mound, Earthworks, Native Tribal Nations, and the Battle at Gettysburg.
The Lord works in mysterious ways, pay attention to the little things, the boys trip was chock-a-block full of small miracles; example, DaB said, "It's been a while since a Service Area..." low and behold, a blue rest stop sign announcing a Welcome Center...coinky-dink...?
We think not.
Everything worked out via God's Grace, right down to Gettysburg, dynamic duos plan, find random place to eat and sleep, prepared to drive around, which they did, in the downtown of
G-burg, before setting GiPS for home and discovering a coffee joint, food joint, and 5 hotels all along 1, 1/2 mile stretch of Gettysburg roadway off freeway...SCORE! Food and lodging for Thursday - Friday and then...Hit the Road, Jacks!
**
52/30: Mad Dog 15 Hour Road Trip Tool
'Chinese Fire Drill'
traditional at stoplight,
driver parks car and
ev'ryone jumps out, runs 'round
vehicle, and hops back in.
Road Trip Version, when hop in,
Passenger takes Driver round,
allotted time and
change at rest break, not stoplight,
have safe Fire Drill -
**
53/30: Usual Home
Usual highway shenanigans, construction
zones, accidents/incidents, and stupidity,
stretching a simple 7 hour cruise to...12...
Thanks, God, we made it home!
HALLELUJAH! AMEN!
**
We leave you here for a moment,
We'll return again soon with the next installment,
we've got a little bit more ground to cover, prepare yourself for the way,
comfy-comfy, cozy-cozy spot, supplies,
seat belt...
tune in again for...
