Not So Happy List

#165 -Don't Like Lonesome Highways

Boring

Lots of people complain about how boring the drive is through much of Nevada, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico.
Don and I are easily entertained, so we've never minded the flat drives or dusty scenery. But it all does seem more lonely and dreary looking, during these pandemic days. I worried about the hitchhikers, in their masks.

Ugly Reminders

It's good to see, many states had signs and reminders about Covid. But not all signs are very pleasant.
I'm looking forward to post Covid days and post election days, when we no longer have to feel jolted by words and worries. Navajos for Trump? Who is paying for that sign?

Comic Relief

Driving through Roswell, I felt a little lift from current worries.

The aliens and spaceships gave me a nice chuckle!

Musical Highway

Our very best surprise on our drive, was when we found the Musical Highway, not far from Albuquerque.

We had heard about the odd creation, a few years ago. We knew that rumble strips had been placed, to help create a musical sound.
But I searched the internet and learned that the sign had been removed and the musical road was no longer maintained.

We searched anyway. The sign was gone. (this one is from internet) We found the spot by mileage and slowed to 45. I squealed when I suddenly heard the road humming to us! "Oh Beautiful for spacious skies..."  It was there! We turned around and drove it 2 more times!

Our Favorite Squirrel!

The Musical Highway made me giddy, but seeing good old Ms. Pearl the Squirrel made me grin. We were on TX 71 about 2 hours from home, when we drove by Berdoll Pecan & Candy Co.

I took a window photo as we flew by. You go Pearl! Since this pandemic began, our 14-foot lady, has been sporting masks of many colors. 

What a nice greeting!

    Cancer - Covid

    I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast cancer and then I was done.

    On March 17, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. Only this time, it was affecting more than me.

    ​Coronavirus and Cancer! Both are evil, but neither can totally get me down... if I vent! I hope with Covid, I run out of complaints before 200!
