I got up early, packed away my overnight bag, grabbed my ticket for my free breakfast and headed for the breakfast bar.
After my experience in Springfield, I was a bit leery about what I would find. Would I find anything?
I needed have worried. It wasn’t Breakfast Heaven, but there was food – and coffee!
I even grabbed an orange for later.
I made my way through the morning traffic to the Lab’s offices. After a whirlwind set of instructions, paper signing and such, I was handed the keys to the 2010 Ford Transit and they bid me farewell.
The other woman who was starting on the same day invited me to join her for lunch. We chatted a bit about what to expect. I have to admit, I didn’t really have a clue, but I was going to give it that old college try.
Here I am with the Transit.
And me, looking cocky in one of the five shirts they gave me to wear while I was working.
As I got ready to hit the road, I took a photo of the odometer. Holy High Milage, Batman! I don’t think I’ve ever driven a vehicle with so many miles on it. As I drove off, I wondered how many miles it would have on it by the time I returned.
As I got out into the country, I came across my old friends, Lewis and Clark.
It’s good to know that I wasn’t traveling alone.
