Successful trip
The trip to Laredo was a success, I was able to lighten my wallet considerably. I also got a haircut and my meds for another month. If you ever do extended traveling the Wal-Mart pharmacy works well because they can pull up a prescription any place in the country and fill it. I also got to watch the three stooges in action while I was in the parking lot. Three amigos in an old pickup truck made a jack rabbit start from a stop sign, problem was they didn't have the tailgate up or the load tied down, so the slightly used washing machine became a heavily used washing machine as it bounced off the pavement. At the speed the truck was moving it was a good 50 yards before they were able to stop. The driver then threw the truck in to reverse and proceeded to back up. Again, a slight miscalculation and he proceeded to plow right into the fallen machine. The last I saw the three were out of the truck picking up parts from near and far. A video camera probably could have netted me $10,000 on Americas Funniest Home Videos. This is going to take a lot of duct tape to make right. When I got back to 4 Seasons I helped another neighbor get his DVD player to play....it just never ends.
