Harry's Rambles

I decided to skip camping in Missouri in order to make my travels shorter today. So yesterday I drove from Chicago to Gothenburg, and stayed at a Hojo.  Before that ten hour trip I pulled the rune Dagaz:  This is the enlightenment rune. Somewhere in the planes of Nebraska I realized everything is one, and that the secret to infinite joy and contentment is... something. I got distracted and forgot all my enlightenment when I saw this store:  I had to pee, so I left nirvana and entered the Kum and Go. They sell so many hats there!  No food pics this post because I only ate nuts, oat bars, coffee, and seltzer yesterday!  I'm now in Denver planning my next day! I have a haircut scheduled for tomorrow at 1!! Fingers crossed my Pittsburgh Haircut dream comes true in Denver. Apart from that I plan on learning some beaver facts and discussing them with a stranger! Wish me luck! 

I have attempted to schedule a haircut in Pittsburgh and Chicago, and both fell through. I am going to book an appointment in Denver, and we will see if I can get a haircut at some point this summer, or if I am cursed to be a manwolf!

The first thing you gotta understand about Chicago is that it is an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  It's one of those man made islands, like that plastic reef. The locals only travel by water bike via the complex canal system.  They are so inundated with water that they have whole museums dedicated to the memory of fields!   Here's a diorama of a butterfly! He has credit card debt problem, but it doesn't keep him down! These little fellahs told me that they were working for the weekend! I laughed and said, "I feel that," and then briskly walked along.  There's so much water in Chicago that you can't see the buildings.  There's so much water in Chicago that it shoots up straight outta the ground.  They are just constantly trying to get the water out of Chicago and back into the Pacific Ocean where it belongs.  There are four of these h...

This was the highlight of the trip! (I did not leave the hotel, and slept in so had no time to look at Pittsburgh!)  This is called a Zucchini Plank! They are disgusting! I ate all 10 with horseradish sauce, and will at some point in my life order them again.  I did not order that Pittsburgh sandwich thing, but I did put fries on my veggie burger!  Hair and face are still terrible, BUT: I scheduled a fancy haircut and beard trim in Chicago, so soon I shall be groomed! Just in time for camping! (I'm gonna wed me a tree!) I pulled Fehu out of the rune bag! It symbolizes cattle and material prosperity, so hopefully I find a job soon and my shit doesn't get stolen from the hostel I'm crashing in! Not that would matter because, just like my organs, none of my stuff works right! Good luck theives!  Up next: I'll find a cat to pet in Chicago!
