He looks out door at 6:00 am-Is it raining? No-get up & pack. Couldn”t move last night-ready now. 6:30-Knock on Jean’s door -still in bed. We leave in the dark-hope no one hits me.  Make it to lake-Jean found other rt so not to go through Oklahoma City. Go too far-now drizzling-now rain. Stop at 7/11-ask directions-one says turn left-other rt. What are the odds-get to light-see Jean coming from other direction. Said she never leaves on dark-left at 7:30-has smart phone-doesn’t get lost. Sees a McD-leaves us.  Now heavy rain-thunder-lightning-shoulder-no shoulder-heavy traffic-18 wheelers-pooling water-getting sprayed by cars passing-NOT HAVING FUN😯😯 Get to gas station-call Jean-we want to stop. Dumpy Ranger motel full-go to Shariff’s staion-no one home. Budget Motel down street-have couple of rooms. Call Jean-she wants one. Bath-nap-wait for Jean. Rain stops-go to Sonic across street. Armand orders french fries & onion rings-worse meal ever but ate it.  Play tennis on Wed in Austin-was rained out.  Tomorrow another day.
