Back in the truck and it got a little crowded. Why? Because we got what every girl dreams of, a mini fridge. The driver and I couldn’t wait the 24 hours per owner manual suggestions. We loaded it primarily with fluids and in the nick of time Arizona is hot Flagstaff Phoenix and Tucson . Now I can offer my parched guests tea or water. In few days we are going to Baltimore Maryland and I recalled a move we did last year, from there to California. A row of narrow and deep houses all attached to each other. The neighborhood I was in was conducive to being at least cordial if not neighborly. We had 3 young guys working to help us pack and load. We chatted during lunch and all three said “There is no work” now I look back and feel for those guys especially now. I will never understand what it is to be their shoes. 2 young fellows ” Weezy and Keys” both
with kids and an older gentleman. The driver paid them well and everyone was happy. The shipper asked if she could give us her food in fridge and it pleased me to observe the 2 younger guys in agreement, to give most of it to the older helper, as if they knew who needed it more. Zia jian
I remember a trivia question from long ago, “Which state has the most Tornadoes?” . Most said Kansas some said Oklahoma. Texas is the state for having the greatest number of Tornadoes. Passing thru Texas just outside of Fort Worth the rain and wind reminded me of that fact. I was scared while the winds caused the truck to rock back and forth and when I looked out the window I saw the American flag just stopped high up on a pole and this ominous sign was a clear signal. We pulled over I saw plenty of debri blowing all around. The lighting did nothing to squelch my fears, and I was ready for something that never came. Later and further down the road I shared with driver that my thoughts have been like the weather and I was not looking forward to facing my cat dilemma and the anger I’ve been holding on to. The driver tells me “You gotta let that shit go” headed west I gonna keep singing that Frozen song. 
I asked the shipper “May I take pictures of your backyard.” This part of the country is growing on me. In the best way you are forced to recognize Mother Earth and all her glory. The gal whom we met today shared about the does and fawns that pepper her backyard, very early in the am, to dine on the grass and the bucks who are solitary creatures that do not accompany the deer. Then you have hop back in the truck and the repose I feel can not be replicated with a beer or winning a big hand at Poker. It’s simply confirms that I am visitor and this world is not mine but mine to enjoy if I choose. And I feel lucky and blessed.
