"Emotional healing, renewal, regeneration and the release of some disappointment, giving way to the feeling of pleasure."
These are not my words, but maybe words for you?

Thank you friend, as "Mrs. Fanooken" would tell Frank McCourt in Angela's Ashes:
"Those are powerful words"

Greetings from Buffalo, Wyoming !!!
It has been an exceedingly wonderful day, beging with a wake up call at 5 am eastern time. I drove the two hours from my house to Charlotte, North Carolina last night and stayed at the Microtel to make getting on the plane at 8:44 am.
Arriving at the terminal with my bags and my "Jack Nasty" Ball cap I was met by an unbelievably long line. I fell in at the end, chatted with 4 other travellers, all headed for Detroit. I adopted the cattle attitude. I reasoned that if the passangers are treated like cattle, hurded and packed in and shipped out, why not adopt a cows mentality. "It's cool, we'll all get there". It worked well for me.
I was surprised to encounter my insurance agent at the head of the line, her flight cancelled, headed for Casper. I shouldn't be surprised, stuff like that is always happening to me.
Neither of my flights were with a window, I read over a hunderd pages of Annie Proulx's Accordian Crimes, a terrific book of sequential stories all tied together by an accordian. Very readable.
Arriving in Billings, Montana at 1 pm local time I procured a Nissan Altima, wished everyone a wonderful day, yipped and carried on out of the parking lot and set off on the roughly 175 mile trip to Buffalo, Wyoming. I stopped at an IGA grocery at the adge of the Indian Reservation and loaded up on necessities, (water, beer, bananas, and windex). The cashier was a young native American girl who was new on the job. I think I was the thrid person she rung up. She apologized for how long it took. I told her it was no problem, it was an honor.
Beautiful country, just jaw dropping. Spped limit is 75 mph and really no traffic to speak of. The skies full of billowy clouds and land, lots of land rolling out as far as the eye can see.
I think I am the first to check in, I have not yet met anyone else from the group. This is a nice, circa 1952 log construction motel they gurantee postage for any of their lost keys, just drop in any mail box.

I'm glad you got there safe and sound. You know we're all hanging on the edges of our chairs for details of your experiences! :)

I hope you are having a great time there. I am kicking myself for not going but I ended up having to work both Friday and Saturday. I thought of you as I was going home from work at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday; there was a pounding hailstorm and I'm surprised my car was not damaged! But I'm in Colorado and hopefully it is peaceful there in Wyoming. Enjoy your roaming in Wyoming.
