We had a pretty boring uneventful day yesterday. We ran into the thunderstorms so it set us
back a little bit and we stayed in Sidney, Nebraska instead of making it to
Cheyenne. We stayed across from the
Safeway store in a pet friendly Motel called Sidney Motor Lodge. There were 2 women at the front desk and one
said her brother had just bought the place.
They were a hoot and very chatty which was a great welcome after a long
day on the road. Our total bill was
49.95. The beds were very comfortable
and we had a fridge and microwave. I would
have to say the corners in the bathroom needed some TLC but we were very
pleased. We walked down about a block
and had the best Mexican meal I have had.
It was wonderful. So much so we
will consider stopping on the way back through.
This morning we decided to have breakfast in the room. I brought Grapenuts and bowls etc., so all we
needed was some milk. So George runs
across the street and brings back more bowls, spoons and frosted flakes but no milk. George’s brain works a little different as
with most men. He can’t see or find
anything unless it’s electrical. He
actually didn’t even open the tail gate and look in the bin. We are packed like Tetris but I do have a
bin very handy in the back with everything.
Then again, the back would have to be opened. Next he decides to drive somewhere else to
get some milk because all Safeway had were gallons. So at 15 miles per gallon and 30 minutes or
more here comes George with some milk.
They say a male Luna moth can detect a female a mile away. But does he call? Noooo….Can you follow how our day
started? Breakfast total cost: Safeway:
$11.67 (no milk) and $2.41 for milk and coffee on the second trip. But I wouldn't call the event priceless.
