I got picked up by the bus last night around 9 p.m. At first I felt an incredible rush. The bus was finally in motion. Unfortunately, a glitch in the veggie system that prevents it from going over 10 miles per hour. We left Middletown, but not Connecticut. Instead of driving into the night, we spent it in a Wal-Mart parking lot in Cromwell. Today we’re going to Cheney Technical Institute in Manchester to get Joe to look at the veggie system. Hopefully he can get it fixed quickly, and then we can get the hell out of Dodge … er, Connecticut.
I don’t consider last night a waste; we’re still out of Middletown, and have now spent our first full night on the bus. Sleeping on the bus will take some getting used to, but I’m confident it will happen.
By the way: with little else to do last night, we explored the massive Wal-Mart parking lot we found ourselves in, and discovered:
That's Xaq. Not pictured: Me completely speechless.
