On The Road Again

The Cat Drag'd Inn is a thirty-six foot Superior Coach with room for improvement. This is my home when I am not flying or sailing or observing the state of humanity in far away places with strange sounding names. In my travels I have visited all the lower forty-eight states plus Alaska and Hawaii; The Cat Drag'd Inn is just getting started though and presently has logged 40 states and two provinces. My goal to circumdr ivebulate CONUS is more or less complete (I think I'd like to do it again and take longer...) and now we are looking for new trippers interested in an "on the road" adventure. Other goals include: to visit all the towns named Cambridge, follow U.S.50 coast to coast, drive Historic Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles. For information about road trips in The Cat Drag'd Inn, write to me. To see where the bus is now click on the picture of the bus to the right.
Oso con Migo means Bear with Me. There are several appropriate meanings attached to that, mostly it refers to the bear by that name who travels with me. El Gato, the white cat with blue eyes and an identity crisis, continues to live in McMurdo since she really dislikes using a different cat-box every night. Then there was Sara(h) La Gata conMigo Booger Mesquite La Rubia Frankencat Sinte Ikusheya Cat o' Mine Tales 11-11 TacoCat. Her name was a storey in itself. Sara(h) went out to lunch with a coyote and was replaced by Seratu from the 7th Street Gaol in Phoenix. Seratu never did take well to travelling. Where Sara(h) would run in to be The Cat in The Front whenever I cranked up The Cat in The Back, Seratu would run out. (See Letter 14b for more on that.) Next Cat in The Front was Hurricane Hazel-rah: 28January2013 -16August2025 . Now we have Ostensible Orca (because she looks like an Orca) who came aboard in August 2025. Orca likes to walk with me around the outback to pick up trash.
I made a list of people within the First Degree of Separation from me who have died over the years since I became aware. Not counting early on ancestors such as parents and grandparents [they can be found in the Genealogy Pages of this site], and not counting others whom I have yet to remember at this writing...
