ROAD TRIP!!!

I am not married. I am partnered!
I  am grateful my beloved and I have learned to discuss these issues without all the dramatic trips to the emergency centers while he searches for someone to agree with him on how I should be acting. These days there is support for female geologist wannabes. He damn near got his own self committed the last couple times he tried and after the 1999 fiasco, he accepts that my road trips are far cheaper than  hospitals, even if I were to go first class. Big IF. First class accommodations are entirely to paved and bright for my taste. The folks in them generally look for their stars on the internet. I don't see the improvement over the previous versions of that search.
Long story short...
I leave in the morning with my beloved's blessings. The sons, etc., don't know yet. Nor do they need to. They will find out when it becomes important to them.
For any friends who might be seeking me here, I have yet to invest in field grade technology. I will be off the grid for an indefinite period.
C you when we c you.
