Just a Slight Dilemma

As we drove through Oregon, one of my tires blew. this was obviously an inconvenience, but i was able to change it. As i changed it however, i noticed one of the other tires has also blew. i was able to drive carefully to a small town. Of corse, upon arriving, we learned that pretty much everything was closed on Sundays.. which it was. I was able to find a small service station, with a man kind enough to help me fix up the problem and be back on my way.  We continued to California, where i was excited to show charlie the redwoods. but he wasn't all too thrilled to see them. we stayed here for a couple days, and i was able to do some reflecting. I remembered my childhood here in California. Then at a local bar, i reflected on what it was like to be home after being away for so long.
