The word of the day for March 22, 2007 is “tourist” — noun 1 : one that makes a journey for pleasure or culture. 2 : TOURIST CLASS.
I’ve been looking at maps. Lloyd wants to see Tim in a couple of months, so I get to plan the trip. If it were up to Lloyd we would just get in the car and drive to exhaustion. Don’t bother with reservations we can sleep in the car if we can’t get a room. Well, I’m a cranky traveler. Several years back I decided that if I have to travel, we will have a plan. If the plan doesn’t work, we can always change it.
Mind you if it can be changed, Lloyd will do it. He’s already decided that we’ll be close enough to San Francisco to go there. Now he’s trying to get me to get on a train for the trip. And he would like to go through Yellowstone. And can’t we stop in Elko, NV? And he’d really like to go through Tucson. It is apparently my job to say, “Not this trip.”
The quote for today is from Terry Pratchett, The Colour of Magic:
Tourist, Rincewind decided, meant "idiot".
