Cloudy skies, more big green blobs on the Doppler Radar and a long day of riding ahead.  We set out from Winston-Salem heading north and soon found ourselves on a nearly vacant beautiful green highway riding through Virginia.  Six hours later we were in Fredericksburg only 50 miles or so from our destination in Mary-Land.  Who could have guessed that those 50 miles would take almost three hours.  It's a good thing we've practiced allot in L.A. traffic - it got our minds right for slow moving, rude drivers.  Trust us, we trained professionally for many years on Los Angeles freeways - you guys here in the East don't stand a chance.

But where were we headed in all of this mess? - Annapolis, Mary-Land of course! - home of the U.S. Navel Academy (why would anyone study navels?) and our good friends, Ray & Debra.  We were met at the door by their smiling family and two cold beers.  Our bet is that after we go through all their beer, eat all of their breakfast cereal (hopefully CoCo Puffs) and tuck into everything else in their fridge - all tonight! - they won't be smiling anymore.   You'd think with all the trouble we caused staying with friends in San Antonio and in Oxford, they'd have suggested we stay at the Motel 6 out on the highway.  Oh well, they say history repeats itself so we'll see if that adage holds true here at Ray & Debra's.

Speaking of Ray & Debra, did we mention that Debra is a doctor?  Not kidding, she's an honest to God M.D.!   Lets just say we got here just in time.   Once we find her prescription pad and practice her signature we'll be back in OxiContin and Percocet in no time.  "Better living through chemistry," is what we always say - besides, we've found that both of those drugs in combination really brings out the flavor of the hops in our beer.  Tomorrow (assuming we're not under arrest) we'll see if we can borrow their car and win some grudge matches for beer money over at the Tastee Freeze.

    
Traffic?  You gotta be kidding - We're from SoCal!                                    We bet Maryland won't welcome us back!

    
It's all fun & games until someone loses an eye!          Found the pad! - Does Valium come in 20mg or 50mg tabs?
