They are in your hands now Spud...... What a journey! Im sure the way back to Michigan will be alot simpler, and more cordinated! When Dean called me 2 hours ago, and said Hey Man...We crossed into NM.... That was some great news! This has been fun to help, peace out....

Okay, I know there are several of you who wonder why it took so long for Darth and Rev to travel down I-40 through Okalahoma and the Texas Panhandle ...
Well, as it turns out, Rev has a penchant for roadside attractions ... You know, those gator farms, reptile shows, and other minor amusements.
So, somewhere in the Oklahoma Ozarks, Rev spied this peculiar amusement park ride.While Rev entertained himself going 'round and 'round for several sessions, Darth explored the neighborhood. Well, actually Darth has this fatal attraction for Texas and Oklahoma cutie pies, so he actually was scouting opportunities when he stumbled into this old family home place ...... where, as luck would have it, he met his dream girl! Oh, it was love at first sight, Darth assures me. He even got the approval of the family for a quickie ceremony.Darth's new brothers-in-law:Darth's new sisters-in-law:The family dog pack:They all went over to Granny's place for the wedding reception ...... where grandma has a semi-permanent wedding/yard sale tent set up out back ...... and everyone enjoyed the wedding cake. The Bride and her beautiful Bride's Maids:The happy couple. Darth even got his hair cut for the occasion.Rev tells me they seem very much in love.Oh, one other thing ... Darth's bride comes complete with a ready-made little family:But because Texas and some other states they must travel through require child safety restraints while transporting little tots, Rev helped Darth choose a car seat. Their choices at the local We B Toys & Shit were rather limited to this utilitarian model ...Which, considering the chompers on that kid, might not make it to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. So Rev decided to manufacture his own version of child safety restraint. ... and the gang happily trekked on their merry way westward to Spud's place where Darth and his new love plan to spend their honeymoon.
