Bff Reports... 08: Sick and Tired*

 Black-footed Ferret Reports: Sick and Tired

Dispatch 8 from DumbFuck Nation, United States of Absurdia

It was getting dark quick and I had to find a safe place to stop for the night.  The Davy Crockett National Forest seemed to be the place to find a lonely back road and park but I better find it soon because not much can be done in the pitch black night.  I passed a sign pointing to a Sorell Family Cemetery and took a chance and turned in.

The road/trail was shared by a logging truck or two, but into the woods about a quarter mile was an old family plot with a wrought iron gate and fence, maybe 50 graves.  I pulled into the side yard and waited for the last logger to roll through as the sun went down. I set up my little camp, tried to play my guitar, choked down two warm Budweisers (doctors’ orders, medication upkeep) and felt awful.  My plan was thwarted by a huge invisible wall on the EAST side of Texas.

I was sick.  My balloon ankles told me my blood pressure was outrageous.  Lost, friendless, terribly lonely for my wife, I laid in the van, doors open, staring at the ceiling. A wonderful little thunderstorm was approaching and I was looking forward to the rain. California doesn’t have thunderstorms. Rain there is mostly just extreme fog that doesn’t quit for 4 months. A gentle shower fell and I felt mentally washed as the intensity grew, very pleasant.

Sometime or another, I decided the escape wasn’t going to happen.  I’m going to have to concede this plan wasn’t going to work.  I was going to head back home. I texted her with the decision and went to sleep.

Dispatch 9 of the Black-footed ferret Reports in DumbFuck Nation coming soon…
