Hour after hour of offloading product with a handcart left me uncertain and tired as the schedule was over two hours behind.
I did my best to keep the pace moving but, I see that I am more interested in driving as compared to manual labor.
The trade-off is that most truck driving jobs do not result in much home time; not in the Binghamton, NY area.
I arrived at the motel in Manassas at about 13:30, I spent one hour in the outdoor pool as the sunlight saturated my body with warmth that was so soothing in and out of the bright cool water.
I decided to walk about one mile to a Thai Restaurant and order take out food for dinner.
So, I now walk around Manassas without a shirt too; I felt pretty good after being in the pool, there was a continuous breeze that was much appreciated in the 80+ degree F temperature.
At the restaurant, I didn't know what to order.
I finally ordered fried rice and a ginger chicken dish with five shrimp rolls.
The order came to $27.oo, I paid it as I sat there waiting for my food.
I decided that I was going to eat a meal and that I would enjoy it regardless; there is a McDonalds across the street anyhow, I can always order a few McDoubles, I eat them without the bread.
Within 15 minutes, I was walking back to the motel, I took my shirt off after leaving the restaurant.
As I walked along the busy road (VA State Route 234 Business), I was offered a ride, I politely declined.
I did have to switch arms to carry the food, it weighed over 5 pounds.
Overall, the character of the food was lighter than Chinese food but with more character in the flavor.
I ate a large meal and went to bed and ate a generous serving of leftovers later.
Late Evening in Manassas
The Afternoon, The Day Before in Endicott.
We were two stupid kids that knew only one day after another.
Two stupid kids that never got it right.
Don't you know, I think it shows.
Don't you know, I think it shows.
Don't you know, I think it shows.
Once while having an intense discussion about Albert Hofmann while standing in Owego Creek, she turned to me and confided that she was turning into a mermaid.
Don't you know, I think it shows.
Don't you know, I think it shows.
Don't you know, I think it shows.
I knew where to go; I took her to the emergency entrance of the Tunison Fish Lab along State Route 13.
Don't you know, I think it shows.
Don't you know, I think it shows.
Don't you know, I think it shows.
They shrugged their shoulders and said maybe she was in contact with an 'electric' eel?
Don't you know, I think it shows.
Don't you know, I think it shows.
Don't you know, I think it shows.
Don't you know, I think it shows.
Don't you know, I think it shows.
'Fish Lab'
MPK
2013
From the album:
Open Sores for People That Love One Another Too Much (2013-02)
Along NY State Route 13 in Cortland County, NY,
there once was a official green and white directional sign for the Tunison Fish Lab.
It amused me to no limit to think of someone driving up and down state route 13 looking for the fish lab.
I thought about someone frantic with a large cooler in the back of the vehicle
containing a unidentified aquatic creature.
The fish lab sign is no longer there,
the laboratory has been renamed;
I cant locate the name however,
it is at 3075 Gracie Rd, Cortland, NY 13045.
I most sincerely hope that my song had nothing to do with the renaming of the Tunison Fish Lab.
Of course.....
the song is not true, they don't have an emergency entrance.
