I stopped to rest for the night in a small town east of Amarillo and tomorrow I will be making my way on to the next one. I hope to be in Oklahoma in a few days as I am looking forward to the halfway point and the other half of the trip. This part of Texas is very flat and I can see all the way to the horizon, I can see the next city 15 miles before I get there and I can tell you that is hard on the brain. It really demonstrates how far I have to go. But at the same time it is evidence of how far I have come.

Namby-Pamby Escapist Baloney

So what's up with the frogs and the pond and the starry, starry night? I thought you got past that. For heavens sake, get your head on straight, man!

It is.

No it's not. Give me a break, what are you whining about?

Plenty.

What are you talking about, plenty? What have you got to complain about? Nothing. You've got nothing to complain about. Look around you!

I do. That's the problem.

Yeah, and then you go on about ponds and cattails and puffy white clouds in the wind.

Indeed.

Come on. If you've got nothing to whine about, what's all this namby-pamby, escapist baloney? We've all got better things to do than listen to that.

So do them.

Don't give me that. I'm just looking out for you.

I'm sure you are.
