Today was another travel day, but it ended in a flop. However, it started out great. We started off by going to the train diner that I had walked to last night. The food was delicious and the restaurant was pretty cool as well (they actually had remodeled an old train in9to the restaurant). Afterwards we went to a museum for lack of better term (maybe mini-town?) that had parts of 1880 buildings from a jail to a house to a hotel! Afterwards we left to get to Little Sioux. On the way, the wind started picking up, but we didn't think a little wind (and rain a couple of minutes later) would stop us. On the way, we went to a gas station for refueling of all kinds (food and gas). Unfortunately, the wind had picked up to the point that Mom was no longer comfortable driving that thirty-nine foot sail of a RV on the road. When Mom went back inside for dinner, we found out that we were right next to a location that had tornado warnings! All of us panicked for a while (Okay, I was the one panicking, but I don't think Sarah and Mom went exactly calm either), but that ended when we heard that we weren't THAT close. After we relaxed and enjoyed the rest of the night.

Hey, Dave, being a little panicky is a good thing...tornados, and even the threat of a tornado, is no small matter. Glad you missed it, though!!
One suggestion...while I know where you were when you wrote most of the blogs, it is not obvious to most others -- especially since that "othe blog" is not current and we don't otherwise know where you are... what if you started each text with a city/location, kind of like newspapers do. It could look like this: Yutan, NE - Today i....
while i bet you remember every one of these so far, later, you and I may not do as well...like the reptiles... I know it was Rapid City, SD...but no one else will.
Otherwise, I so love your blog, and your humor...The writing is funny at times, wry at others, and even, occasionally, sardonic. Keep it up!!
I agree with your dad, Dave. Your blog is fun. More than that, it's helping you develop your inner voice. You're writing style has improved since you first started this. Since you've begun sharing how your experiences have been making you feel, it has grown from just a journal of events into a look inside you as a person. Keep it up. I love it!
Also, your dad's idea about starting your entries with where you are is a good one. See if you can develop the habit to do this.
