It turned out just fine! While I was boiling the pasta, I mixed three eggs with grated romano cheese (I bought a grater and luckily my favorite silicone spoonula was halfway out of a box in the car so it was put to use. I seasoned the eggs with tiny packets of salt and pepper from the hotel and restaurants we’ve eaten at this week.
I bought already cooked microwave bacon and re-heated and crisped it then ripped it into small pieces (please, don’t get me started on the knife quality here, luckily I brought my own.)
Doing some reading yesterday, I found out that one town we’re looking at to live has a zero tolerance policy towards dogs in cars. Remember that it’s thirty degrees outside and we crack the windows and the sun roof for Zoe. We are not allowed to leave her at the hotel, we are prohibited from taking her to restaurants, even on an outdoor patio where it’s freezing cold. Now our car will be forcibly entered and Zoe impounded if a police or animal control officer spots her alone in our car watching us eat in a restaurant in the window ten feet from us.
It appears that Big Brother is watching, indeed. You ought to see Kansas State Troopers. I don’t know whether they have cameras on the Interstates as I saw no planes buzzing nearby. I saw five Troopers in less than four hours in the State. Three passed us going gangbusters to target one specific car, and they got their man/woman every time! The first Trooper I saw shortly upon crossing the State Line was helping a woman put gas in her car. And the last one I saw near entering the State of Wyoming was helping a family change a flat tire.
How did we not get caught speeding? Diligence and cruise control. The speed limit was seventy in Kansas. I set my car’s cruise control to 68 and Jim set his at 72. All for now. Cheers! Dee
