Dump to dump to dump to dump to dump
Phew, I made it! To West Virginia, where the rest areas along I64 and I79 have dump stations. I'm not desperate yet but I'll need to find a dump station soon and it will be much more convenient to dump at a rest area than to digress from my travels to hunt one up. I don't remember the exact sequence but at the first 4 rest areas I stopped at the dump stations were either non-existent, closed, or located where I found myself irretrievably in the wrong lane before I spotted them. This morning I finally got it all figured out and dumped at the rest area on I79 just north of Clarksburg WV, my last chance.
Now to find a laundromat.....

Playing and Learning and Loving
..There is a Byzantium, but not the one Yeats writes about. There is another country the aging occupy and which we share with children. Its borders are formed by the animal that arises in puberty and subsides with the onset of wisdom. It is a land where seven and seventy are kin. Where there are no concerns other than playing and learning and loving. The inhabitants of this land are in no hurry. Our days are dense with experiences. We have, as the Spanish say, more time than life.
