If the rain comes...

 

... they run and hide their heads (when the rain comes).  If you said, "The Beatles song Rain, 1966," you get 15 bonus points.

We did not run, nor hide our heads, but the rain did come.  Leaving Nebraska and into Kansas.  We left last night's campground with gray skies this morning... it eventually turned to rain.  Fortunately, nothing severe.  I've seen The Wizard of Oz - I know what can happen here.

We looked at campground options and decided to go for a park in Wichita that has paved streets and paved RV sites.  Not too far off the freeway, but definitely more off the road than the park last night.  The price was good last night, at only $20 for the Passport America rate.  Tonight's park was about 3 times that rate, but did I mention: paved.  I really like paved.  Especially in the rain.  Seems that fewer places are taking Passport America, rates for RV sites have gone up significantly... and all the RV parks are full (or nearly so)... they don't have to offer a discount to fill up sites.

Not much to write about or photograph today: the Interstate to a 4 lane road to more Interstate.  Hey, it gets us home, and no insecurities about gas stations that can accommodate the motorhome.  Through the windshield...





On the bright side: a paved site.  Good cable TV (we got two channels over-the-air last night).  Green grass between the sites (not as nicely spaced as Hart Ranch).

And most importantly: Rufus was a good boy again today.  What?  Yes, he's always a good boy.  And by "always," I mean almost always... he is a cat.

We're in early enough that Joan is making us pasta and meatballs for supper.  With the rain, I only hooked up electric and cable; if it lets up, I have the option of connecting water and sewer.  No, we haven't been doing without water and sewer - we're using our tanks.  Livin' large.

Ahhhh.... life on the road. Rufus does not look comfortable in those positions, but we know that cats never willingly do anything they don't want to.

Buy work week for me, so cannot check in often. Safe travels, and pet that Good Boy for us! [sip]

Ah, true dat (on the cats not doing ANYTHING they don't want)... fortunately, Rufus being the good boy he is (drink), he goes along with most things I suggest... as long as it is nothing to do with poking around his furry hind end. TMI?

Good luck with your work week. I remember work weeks... about the same hours as honey-do projects, but you get paid.
