Modesto, CA to rest area in Turlock, CA, back to Modesto 

Friday September 15, 2023

2:41pm  I am taking off today!  

Don't I look like a really tall little kid?  I am going to be 46 in February.  Walking is the secret to life!  Growing old is a choice!  I can grow young too!

     After much consideration and planning.  I took my oh-so-temporary ban, disciplinary action in my favorite playground #gulag on Undernet as a sign to make my departure.  It was only because krit wasn't in the channel.  Another op got tired of my stuff.  They eventually banned me.  Fuck it, that's my sign to take off already and get to San Antonio.  That's my mission right now, to get all of my pictures from my mission box and leave.  Not even stay, and come back to my Tita.  

        I had this great idea.  I learned, I know how easy it is to get rides from rest areas, so I'm thinking I can rest area-hop all the way to San Antonio!  The nearest rest area is fifteen miles away in Turlock, so that's where we are going now and I am going to try my luck.  And, if I don't have a ride by tonight I will simply call my wife to come get me and I can try again tomorrow in the morning.  I am going to get out of here and I am going to get all the way to San Antonio for free.  I have plenty of presents.  This Victor comes bearing gifts.  I am bringing snacks to give away to people at the rest areas.  I have WPTMJ tee shirts to guilt people into buying, ha, just kidding.  It's going to be great.  I'll find my way back to my mom's house perfectly, and back.  I will return to Modesto and keep helping Tita solve all of her problems here, and set everything straight for the whole world.  With her help, finally.

        I told her earlier, "I AM NOT going to give up on you.  I feel that I can love you so hard that I can make you think how I want you to think and then do what I want you to do, in the name of world peace through marijuana and everything else that's holy."  I told her that I WOULD NOT give up on my family.  I REFUSE to be a Franklin.  If anything, he has shown me HOW NOT to be.  I made a promoise to Julieta, until death do us part.  I am going to man-up to my word.  I will let you know what happens.  Peace out.  

4:05pm  We just got to Enoch Christopherson Rest Area. 

 

I99 Southbound.  We brought a picnic lunch and this is where we are parting.  I am going to find a ride South.  Alright, later.

5:36pm  Julieta left not that long ago.  Right now I see this

 

cool guy on a motorcycle with saddlebags pull up.  He looks pretty hip and he has a backpack on.  When he walked to a bench in the covered area, we made eye contact and exchanged peace signs.  I took it upon myself to walk up to him and offered him my blog.  "Anybody riding a bike like yours should appreciate my blog," I told him.  He just walked up to me and said, "Hey man, I read your blog."  He told me he liked it, that he read about my father and everything.  I smiled and asked him if he had time for a story.  He was in a hurry though and said he couldn't wait to read it more when he got time.  Sweet, on my way to save the world.  Again.

Next day..
