Monday, 27 August. Today was not very productive as far as doing route66. – first the rear power outlet died again. This prevents me from using my computer as I drive & also charging my cell phone in. I tried to call Saturn, but there was no answer. – When I finally get organized & checked out of the hotel, I headed east down I-40. I was originally planning to call ahead and stay Tucumcari. When I got there, my first choice was closed & and was happy with my second, the Pow Wow Inn. Unfortunately like to any other motels the wireless only works in the lobby. – this whole problem with the car has really perked me out and also put need at least a week behind where I wanted to be. I’m now considering giving up the slow drive down 66 after Coppercon. While all hit the high points and sums up specific places along the way, I have the vague feeling I will only need to take less than a week to get to LA and wrap up the trip. I’ll just have to see how it goes.

It’s been terribly hot here, so you’re not missing much. I’ve 100 more pages to edit and then I’m done. It sounds like you’re having a fun to interesting time.

G’day to both of you! — Mark it was good meeting you after all these years. I’m glad we could get together for dinner and a nice chat. I had a hunch you had read of some of Steve’s books. — Sue, I’ll leave the hot weather to you. I’ve had enough of it along the trip. At least in Texas and northern New Mexico the temperature is moderating. It is also drier. Unfortunately Phoenix is still well into the 100’s. — the trip itself has been great fun but problems with my computer, getting Internet access, and the car have put a small damper on the proceedings. — More anon!
