This travel bug is engaged in a cross country race with Al. They will be released in San Diego in November and they are both racing toward Maine. The first one to be logged in Maine is the winner.
Why do I have a hammer and a hardhat?
On a recent trip to Colorado, I stopped in a store and noticed that there were only two keychains left that had the old state license plate. Coincidentally (or not) they bore the names of my father and my father-in-law.
Since we are going to be in San Diego for Thanksgiving, I decided to have them race across the country just for fun.
This bug is Don, named after my father-in-law. He will be accompanying us to San Diego. Don has always obeyed traffic laws to the letter. He has NEVER received a traffic violation. But he does have a chance to win this race because he is the tortoise. He won't speed, but he won't stop either.
The hare to Don's tortoise is Al. Al is my father who passed away in 2001. He was not constrained by the posted speed limit, but he did have a family would make him stop and wait. So let's see who can make it to Maine first.
When I think of Al and Don in a car race, I think of Al Unser and 'Big Daddy' Don Garlitz. Sorry, but this race is between two guys whose last know M.O. was driving 5 miles under the speed limit in the left lane with their left turn signal on.
