Final, Eighth Day

 Tried Hardee’s for the first time, and it was pretty good. Drove around some, gave a homeless man my leftovers and a little cash. Saw one of those funny pro-jew signs.

Had some teriyaki glazed salmon in --REDACTED STATE--. Perfect. Then drove through --REDACTED STATE 2-- and made it back to --STATE OF RESIDENCE--.

Seventh Day

Had fried pickles for breakfast. Stopped by my aunt and uncle’s place, she baked some cookies. Then went to my other uncle’s, where his dog immediately loved me and she wouldn’t leave me alone.

Drove through Baltimore and walked around DC for a while. Saw the White House. My friend offered me five million dollars if I ding dong ditched the President. He yelled “You don’t seem so secret!” at a Secret Service car with the windows down, and they heard him. An Asian man in a wheelchair had five cops around him right outside the gate.

Someone drew a Scottish flag on fire near the Five Guys closest to the White House. Heard radio chatter behind us, turned expecting police, and 4 four National Guard members walking.

After that I drove through --REDACTED STATE-- and stopped for the night in --REDACTED CITY--, --REDACTED STATE--.

 

Sixth Day

Woke up in --REDACTED RURAL CENTRAL NY TOWN--, drove back through Downtown Buffalo, and stopped for the night in --REDACTED CITY--, --REDACTED STATE 5--.

Fifth Day

 Stayed in the --REDACTED RURAL CENTRAL NY TOWN-- area all day. Picked up my uncle and went to Wegmans with him. Saw more of the animals, stopped at an Amish store and met a real attractive Amish girl.

Built a fire and had some s’mores. Uncle took a room in the farmhouse. I slept on the couch again.

Fourth Day

 Drove around more of West Seneca and Lackawanna. Passed my old childhood home, the Catholic school I went to, the church, my grandma’s old house, and the Kone King, they changed the colors some. Saw two fawns with their mom in somebody’s backyard in Lackawanna.

Stopped by my grandpa’s place, brought him an Imperial Pizza. We talked for a while and watched TV. He asked how things were going with the program I'm in, and I showed him pictures of the things I've done as long as the guns I've used there. I was hit with a massive wave of nostalgia to be in his house again, as I haven't been in it since I was 11 (? or older). It hit me hard seeing him in rough shape, hooked up to oxygen like that. Drove by the BB gun factory. A Ryder truck was sitting right outside.
Started reading the Turner Diaries for the third time. (I first read it the other time I visited Buffalo)

Then headed toward --REDACTED RURAL CENTRAL NY TOWN--. Passed through Pendleton and Lockport on the way. Stayed at a farmhouse, slept on the couch. Was surrounded by the Amish and animals, horses, sheep, cows everywhere. Picked up a camo boonie style hat at a Dollar General. Set off the remaining fireworks that night.

250th/Third Day

Went out for breakfast, biscuits and gravy. Damn good. Picked up some fireworks in West Virginia, then back on the road. Rolled through Ohio, passed the Hall of Fame in Canton. Had to stop in one of those jewish areas near Cleveland, funny as hell.

Finally made it back to WNY. Had dinner with my dad’s side of the family at Charlie’s Boatyard, and met my baby cousin. Drove through downtown Buffalo, spotted a General Lee, checked out the new and old Highmark Stadium. Hit Lackawanna and West Seneca. Grabbed a mint chocolate chip ice cream with red, white, and blue sprinkles. Stayed at a hotel in Buffalo, set off the fireworks. Saw a Ryder truck parked right outside.

Second Day

Woke up early and got back on the road. Saw a real good-looking woman in --REDACTED STATE 2--, one I’ll remember for a while. Drove through --REDACTED STATE 2--, --REDACTED STATE 3--, --REDACTED STATE 4--, and into West Virginia. Caught sight of the Appalachians again. Ran more Rumble streams the whole way. Grabbed some Burger King in Charleston and stopped at a fancy hotel here for the night.

First Day

Got a fresh crew cut, real short. Hit the road. Stopped at that Buc-ee’s in -- REDACTED CITY--, picked up a chopped brisket sandwich, some beef jerky, Diet Coke, and a Red Bull. Listened to a few rumble livestreams along the way. Crashed at a hotel in  --REDACTED CITY--,  --REDACTED STATE 1--.
