Bailing Out of America Doesn't Have to Be a Solo Jaunt

Yevette has been ashamed for years by what people have done to America so she's in for bailing but there are complications.

Cadillac Man is always up for adventure so maybe he is up for trying it as well.


There are lots of good reasons for running or at least walking slowly with your squadron because that's a great boost to personal safety for everyone but it's also a lot of pre-built yap because we know each other so we know a lot of yap already.  Pluses and minuses come from that.  We like familiar yap but the trip is also silent introspection and review of all manner of kozmikal things.  It's the same as turning off the radio on a road trip just to discover what you will think.  Just realized parents probably have no idea of that (larfs).


Nothing is closed, nothing too weird, etc, etc to consider as part of this although I draw the line at running with the bulls in Pamplona, sex with men or anyone too young to remember why Reagan was an asshole, and using unfamiliar drugs.  Those things are out but anything else and I'm interested.

(Ed:  what about someone who is well-read and understands from that why Reagan is an asshole but doesn't actually remember it?)

Unlikely candidate but would have to be considered on a case-by-case basis.

(Ed: aren't you the Casanova!)

Nope.  These are design parameters.  There's no fucking way I am getting into an enclosure with a large angry and wild animal, my bone wasn't made for backsides and my backside wasn't made for receipt of same, plus I only like reefer and mushrooms.

And I probably won't get into a mountain lake either.  Such lakes are described as being five centimeter lakes and others as two centimeters.  If you don't know what that means, you have probably never been in one.


If you do want to jaunt then something needs to be focused in your crystal set as you need to know if you will return; do you have an exit plan from the exit plan.

For my thinking, it's open-ended as I will have no reason to return.  The music kit will be sold and there won't be any material reason to be anywhere.  Since I can't see most of you anyway, emotional reasons don't weigh heavily either.


A major consideration to the basic validity of even approaching Saint James Way is the level of commercialization along the route.  We already know Starbucks is a hideous eyesore on the planet but they go to where they like hideous eyesores.  Finding anything of that nature along the way would be an immense disappointment.

Be aware it exists, at least to some extent.  There's some excellence because it means we will always be able to find a place to crash for cheap.  Some places are five dollars a night and that's even less than Greece for the monthly rate on the place I was living there.


If you like, possibly we can do Three Musketeers or something like that.  Maybe Cadillac Man remembers a pic showing Cadillac Man, Doc, and I on some pier and Doc is proudly displaying the tiniest fish any fisherman ever tried to bring home.  That was a time when Doc had hair down to his ass and presented rather differently than he does today as in ... holy shit, was that you?

That Three Musketeers aspect has great coolness plus also liabilities and the first of those is maybe it's already becoming a 'product' if it has a name.  That implies an audience and it implies potential revenue.  There's no religious reason to reject that since The Way isn't that much religious anyway but it starts a possible taint as in put it on YouTube and try to commercialize it.  Maybe that's alright but, for me, it already starts to smell.

There is no vow of poverty here at the Rockhouse but there's a definite vow not to grovel or suck ass.

(Ed:  I guess that means no bootlicking?)

Nah, definitely none of that.  We still remember spit shining boots in the fucking Army.  We hated the fucking Army (larfs).


Another aspect of publicizing this is Yevette doesn't want anyone to know where she is.  She is not chased by the law but it bugs the fuck out of her that the law chases everyone in America.  There are no cameras on The Way unless we bring them so it's a place of safety in that context.

Some of you know what it means to be 'experienced' so the question is always how experienced is it possible to be.  Leaving America is only a small part of it and negativity isn't all that big a part, it simply doesn't offer anything interesting.  I look about constantly for what's happening in news, science, anywhere but it's always the same.  America and England have become crashing bores.

Therefore, how experienced is it possible to get.
