Picaresque

Picaresque is the adjective to describe writings about a common or low character who survives the pitfalls of life through luck or good fortune. My travels, interests, my animals, my photographs, my wonderful friends and family are featured.

Name:
Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

The Route as of right now

After researching Weather.com and plotting routes to avoid active storms, this looks like the best route. I will try for Hastings, Nebraska by tomorrow night. Then due south to Dallas, 610 miles, then Interstate 20 to Jackson, Mississippi. From Jackson I will head to Gulfport (not on the Interstate, though)) Then Gulfport to Ocala, FL then the final leg to Lake Worth. The cities are just reference points. I think the modern metropolis is a scab on the planet. I will use beltways to skirt them whenever possible. The Rand McNally mapping website includes weather forecasts and it looks like I had better not go too fast or I will run into the storms that have just passed us and if I go too slow, the next one will catch me. So just sort of half-fast will do it. Posted by Picasa
