I&rsquo;ve turned off my WiFI but it might be too late if the router is being run by a bad guy.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, there is no LTE cellular connection either.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m in Pensacola after a rough nights sleep.<\/p>\n<p>The room I got was a disaster, it smelled like an ashtray mixed with harsh chemicals. One of the beds hadn&rsquo;t been changed and whew when I pulled the sheets back, there was a powerful stench. Thank goodness there was another bed that had been changed.<\/p>\n<p>Ah, the little surprises of traveling.<\/p>\n<p>I was too tired to fight about the room last night. I&rsquo;d planned to stay in Tallahassee but refused to pay 139.00 or more a night for a hotel room. I checked with several hotels outside the Tallahassee city limits. Apparently the Florida senate is in session and all the hotels were full of lobbyists. &#8220;Your tax dollars at work&rdquo; are being bought and paid for by entities outside your government.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve been noticing folks having bible meetings in public places like restaurants, and this Starbucks in fact. That&rsquo;s strange to me but what the hell, as long as the Christians and Satanists don&rsquo;t try to have meetings in the same place at the same time I guess it&rsquo;s going to be cool.<\/p>\n<p>Of course God help them both if the Atheists, (who&rsquo;ve made atheism a religion in and of itself) should happen to show up. I&rsquo;d be outside selling tickets and taking bets. In this area I don&rsquo;t know if I&rsquo;d bet on the Atheists or the Christians, both are probably packing heat!<\/p>\n<p>I will say there are a lot of damn cute and generally fit men in a lot of the places in FL I&rsquo;ve been. Even the guys discussing religion are damn fine! LOL I suppose I could convert them. Uh Oh, they&rsquo;re quoting from Luke and talking about forbidden things&#8230; I suspect the next topic will involve the abomination of homosexuality!<\/p>\n<p>Oh give me a few hours&#8230; I haven&rsquo;t converted anyone in a long time! I&rsquo;d love to give Torquemada a run for his money.<\/p>\n<p>What would Jesus think about the horrific expense of a cup of Starbucks coffee? Wouldn&rsquo;t that $4 be better spent feeding the poor? If I was a real bastard, I&rsquo;d point that little hypocrisy out to them&#8230; After all there&rsquo;s a dunkin doughnuts across the street.<\/p>\n<p>Nah&#8230; Not worth the time, but amusing to think about.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m taking the trip back to CA more slowly. I&rsquo;m actually not sure that I want to go back to that way of life. Perhaps by the time I get home, I&rsquo;ll have a better idea for the next direction my life will take.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you&rsquo;re enjoying your day as much as I am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sitting in a Starbucks whose WiFi credentials are questionable so I have no idea when this is likely to be posted.
