On Monday, I headed out for Farmington. At this point little hills started to rise out of the road. There was a lot of up and down, and blind hills every few hundred yards. I was shocked to find that almost all the cars waited patiently behind me until I got to the crest of a hill. Such courtesy would never be seen in San Jose.
The high for the day was 105– 110 with the heat factor. Another night for motel luxury. In Farmington, I couldn’t find any cheap motels. There was good old Best Western, at $40, and the Lodge of the Knights, at $38. I went for the Knight’s Lodge.
Unfortunately, the singles at the Knight’s Lodge were all upstairs, and the Queens downstairs were all taken. I decided it was worth an extra $2, and decided to take a King-size bed downstairs for $40.
Such luxury! I was really getting spoiled. The king bed was big enough for me to lie on CROSSWISE; in fact, five people could have comfortably slept in that bed. The bathroom was huge! I parked my bike in it, and still had lots of room to move around in there.
As there were no restaurants nearby, I ordered pizza delivery. After ordering, I started killing flies. It pleased me greatly to get all eight of them. I arranged these artistically in the ashtray. Not long after this, the pizza arrived. I sat on the bed in my air-conditioned room, eating pizza and watching cable TV. One of my favorite channels was The Weather Channel. I found out what the weather was like in the San Francisco bay area. I heard about the weather in Hawaii. And, of course, I had a vested interest in the local weather. The forecast was 100-105 for the next two days, very humid.
