That long weekend is coming. The one where we go to stores and fight over parking spots and the last of the yams and then go home and cook for eight hours and eat food with relatives that remind us why we forget that we know them for the rest of the year. Then we go back out, bellies full, fight over parking spots and waddle mindlessly through loud stores looking at prices that call themselves sales but are really just pre-pandemic nostalgia and explain to our kids why it's called Black Friday when it's still Thanksgiving and that's always on a Thursday, you're right, kiddo, what the fuck are we doing here let me out let me out let me out let me out let me out let me out let me out let me out let me out let me out let me out let me out let me out let me out.
As for me, well, I'm a self-imposed orphan a majority of the year.
Long weekends are for open roads.
I've got five days.
Haven't picked a road yet.
Any suggestions?
This is my entry for the #monomad challenge, held daily in the Black and White Community.
Give it a try. Tell me where to drive. (Just don't tell me how.)

Drive out here to Spokompton. We have a LEGO store now at least. And I still haven't been to the new Gamer's Haven location.
Legos! In that case....
I'm thinking I might go to the rink in Winthrop. Ever been?
Nope, not much of a skater or skier or any other such sports since my back got torqued by an errant forklift in '07.
An errant forklift?? That's a story I'm not sure I wanna hear...
Here you go. I should probably fix those broken image links.
Hey! So I'm gonna check out the ice ribbon in your hood this weekend because it looks like it just opened up. Where should I camp, any suggestions? (Free or cheap is best, as is nowhere-near-discharging-firearms...) I've seen you post in outdoor life so I know you have at least seen the outdoors. Maybe we can coffee it up if that works out, too.
Winter camping is less popular. State parks, hipcamp, or Airbnb might be good starting points.
Oh man. It's ok, I have a vivid imagination. Plus a lot fo what I do is treat MVAs and work comp, so I can totally validate the damage down to your body. I've, you know, felt that kind of damage with my own hands.
Work comp blows. They understaff their reps so shit never gets done. I didn't know any better so I let mine go because I could never get through to anybody. That's the kind of situation where all those work comp/mva attorney ads you see are actually useful. Wish I'd known at the time.
You should definitely head for Vegas.
Oh man. Hell yeah bright lights cigarette smoke big crowd money pit here I come!!!!
Actually there are some cool outdoor ice rinks in Vegas.
Congratulations. Today's #monomad third place is yours.
Thank You very much for participating and for being part of the Black And White Community!
