Target Field
Went to a ballgame on Saturday it was nice because I got to use the bus and train and see a new stadium. While it is nice and new it has yet to gain personality the Metrodome had these dangerous steps and places to get lost. Well I did get lost they seem to make a good deal of signs showing you how to get to your section but not so many on hw to get out of the stadium, so after the 7th inning i stood up and started walking around next thing I know I am in some lonely corridor lost wondering though press boxes and because I appear to be a homeless man no one ever offers to help, thats when I decided to shave. Sorry about the randomness
Not Ready to Go
Well today is the day I should be leaving Minnesota, but it is a little drizzly and I don't wanna drive in the rain. Also, I really don't want to leave just yet, Its not that it has been an overly fun time or underly, either it has just been time..I have been actively looking for a trailer, but to no avail and I think I am going to table that Idea once again, what do I need it for?? My next site has showers and power hookups so I can grab a minifridge and I am good. Plus I plan on going to Mexico for awhile after 2012 starts so I don't wanna leave a trailer at my moms house. Knowing her she will rent it out to some drunk while I am gone. So I am sitting here wondering why I am sitting here and know that I have talked myself into saving cash by not buyin a trailer I am going to order some chinese. Oh yeah got my twitter setup again so if you want to know what I think of about without a filter follow me @theDavidDrifter

Political Rant of The Week
As I was driving though South Dakota I noticed some billboards for pro-life causes and it seems like these billboards are an effort of a one sided war, the opposite side of the issue has no dog in the fight, you never see pro-choice billboards or easy cheap abortion ads. So, i got thinking what would these billboards be like if the clinics advertised. Here are some Ideas please feel free to be offended, that's your choice.

Like Sand through the Hourglass this is my day in WHYoming
So I stayed at a city park last night and woke real early and hit the road. I let my gps choose the route as the shortest one and as soon as I turned off the highway I thought of the line from Road Trip , "if a shortcut were easy, it would be called the way" but I was on a county road as both the GPS and the signs assured me. I soon became aware that they don't pave county roads in Wyoming so after about 60 miles through some gorgeous unpaved grassland road, in which I got to see my first Antelopes and a bunch of cows, I blow out my rear tire, and the van is not equipped with a spare ( I needed room for the satellite dish). I phone my nearest triple A, but as I am in the middle of nowhere I could not inform them as to where I was, exactly. My tow truck driver soon phoned me after a series of phone calls and neither of us knowing where I was. I unload the motorcycle and start going foward on the road, Luckily I find some construction workers and I am no longer lost in the middle of Wyoming. I bought a used tire and headed on the road. Now as I am heading down the road I hear a pounding on the roof Uh-oh my solar panel is flapping and then it was gone. I am now out of Wyoming sitting in a bucks just outside of Mount Rushmore (that place is Beautiful and the patriotism brought a tear to my eye). More on that another day, Time to visit FREECAMPSITES.NET and find a place to crash.

On the Road Again
frefreWell Today I hit the road, I am heading east towards Minnesota then to Kansas to work for Amazon. So as I roll out it finally hits me that Bella is gone, and I am on the road alone. I am going though South Dakota so I am considering MYDAKOTAADDRESS.com while I am in the state I can change everything over. But first I must visit freecampsites.net and find a spot to stay tonight you all should do the same.

The Time has come to End this nightmare
I have been given an early release and should be heading out next Tuesday. I think I will head to Mt Rushmore and Minnesota, I got some apologies to make and I want to check out the new ballpark. This summer has been fun and I have come to appreciate people more than ever, I love this pace as well as dislike it immensely, I will miss Logan, but I have been there done that. Its time to hit the road if only for 10 days before My next stop.
My Disease as an outsider Looking in
I couple weeks ago, I got watch my disease in action as I was invited to join a family for dinner and drinks. I watched the painful disintegration of a family though an outsiders eyes, as alcohol turned a seemingly nice person into a monster berating her children and spewing venom. It is a terrible thing to witness, but I am glad to have watched it because sometimes I forget about the hypnotic effect. For every party where everyone is smiling, there is the one where everyone is crying. I also spent some time watching another group's weekend turn from an amazing trip to just sitting around as one co-dependent cleans up after a stumbling squirrel. I am currently not sober but close to it, I am aware of myself and I struggle on, it is hard to say no but easy not to buy in.
