Here We Go Again...
Well, since taking a Greyhound bus to Colorado is now out of the question, Mr. Dreamtree and I have been attempting to do a Rideshare to get into Colorado, even though it goes against our better judgement. In the past, Rideshare on Craigslist has not worked out for us too well, other than get us a creepy, elderly woman stalker on our asses. We didn't expect too much with this Rideshare, either. Wouldn't you know it, no sooner than we posted the Rideshare, we got a text from a "person" who had intentions to go into Colorado soon. Larry Dreamtree did have an opportunity in the past to become a Private Detective and had training as a Lie Detection Officer, so he began to ask some important questions....
The first text from this "person", by and by the way, contained Larry's name. "Hey, Larry, I am responding to your Craigslist ad". The first few questions asked seemed legit. However, when Larry asked for the name of the "person" who texted, they replied, "My name is ___________ , what is yours?" Um, you already know muh name. Busted.
Needless to say, that was a red flag enough for Mr. Dreamtree to tell that person off for good. Their area code didn't even match the town they claimed to live in, which was another red flag. Hopefully we get a positive result from this soon but, doubt it. Everyone we meet who are travelers freak out over how great Rideshare is on Craigslist but, it hasn't panned out for ol' Larry, not even once.....
Besides, the Tarot Reading Larry did concerning the matter revealed to us the Queen of Wands, inverted, as you will see in the pic below. "She" is one who has the need to take care of her own needs first before helping others. So it seems even if Larry pursued this ride in spite of the red flags, it wouldn't of worked out anyway.
Are We in the Stone Age, or What?
Yeah, so it really baffles me that Mass Transit in America is shittier than eating out of your own toilet bowl after shitting and barfing into it. Buses should literally run from every town/city but, they don't. We can get into Colorado by bus but, not in a town that is anywhere near the part of the state where he intends to meet family. They don't have the money or the time to go way out of their way to pick him up from Denver, which is a few hundred miles away from the part of Colorado he planned to visit. We have been burned by hitch hiking and camp hiding to go stick out our thumbs. So sick of folks picking us up under the condition that we pay them in sexual favors. Is there anything sane in our Country anymore?
This is just another reason we pine for the Venus Project. There would be nothing but mass transit, and it would take you everywhere you need to go for absolutely no cost to you, us, or anyone else.
Much Love? Nah, what is there to love anymore? The Beatles were full of it.
