Robert C. Byrd

We survived tropical storm Alberto! But at times it seemed close as far as Kat was concerned. We were staying at Jordan Lake state park near Raleigh NC and we had somewhere between 7 1/2 and 8 inches of rain in a 6 hour period. There were some pretty good size streams running beside the RV for a while. Kat didn’t get out our owners manual to check our flotation capabilities, but she was talking about it. But the sun did come out and we made it to the North Carolina beach to see nephew Mike and the lovely Phyllis.
After our very nice visit in North Carolina we headed on north. We stayed at a very nice park in West Virginia. Robert C. Byrd West Virginia that is. For those who don’t know it, Robert Byrd is the senior Senator from West Virginia and pretty much a pain in the ass liberal to all of us conservatives and Republicans. Actually after the death of the Senator from SC and I can’t recall his name right now(it came to me, Strom Thurmond), Byrd may be the senior Senator period. But he’s still a pain in the ass! Senility has begun to set in and when you combine that with his hatred of Bush, the Democrat loss of power, and the fact that the liberal media never questions anything he says, you have a colossal pain in the ass. But my point here is, that if you drive through West Virginia you can see why he is popular in his state. You can almost see the federal dollars ooze out from everywhere you go in federal projects. Dams, highways, bridges, parks, you name it. Or should I say it’s been named Robert C. Byrd. Half the state is named after him. I guess if I was from West Virginia I’d be tempted to vote for him too. He obviously brings lots of pork home. And my apologies to Democrats. I’m just talking about Byrd.
So then we got to my home state of Ohio. Ohio was all good!
And now we’re in Iowa getting ready to head for Oregon. It’s two RV conventions later and we have been busy. However time dictates that I send this off incomplete and catch ya’ll up on everything somewhere down the road. We’re going to go get our tow car so we can do life on the road with a little more style. Life on the road is good. With a car it will be even better.
For all of you, even those who may think us nuts, remember, “all who wander are not lost!”
