We both forgot to mention some of the most critical times on our journey to Carmel. At this age the brain cells are dying off in sheets, forget the cell by cell demise, so it truly is not surprising.
First and foremost was the truck we saw just outside of Wendover. Over the course of time we have traveled together, as a foursome to many locals. On these journeys typically Dennis drives, Bill navigates and L and I sit in the backseat holding on for dear life. Because Bill navigates and keeps Dennis on the straight and narrow, Dennis began to refer to him as Jesus. As in Jesus saves, Jesus guides, etc. Now some of you may be offended by this reference, however, Dennis is Hispanic and almost every Hispanic family has at least one Jesus, and secondly, Bill is the nicest guy you will ever meet. So we are just outside Wendover when a truck pulls onto the freeway displaying a sign on the back "Jesus Saves". That truck was with us all the way to Reno.
Now for the best part...... L decided that since this was our chance at a Thelma and Louise trip we needed at least one trucker to honk and wave so we could be true to the movie. Like I said, the brain cells are dying off fast and when that trucker finally came along and honked and waved, I had to think for a minute before I stopped L from flipping him off and waiving the gun. Well, we got parts of the movie right.
