Does anybody really care? Today we do.
Today’s travel plan includes a stop in North Platte, Nebraska, to spend some time at the Union Pacific’s Golden Spike Tower and Visitor Center. This tower overlooks Bailey Yard which is huge. The UP has encouraged rail fans to stop and see their yard for years and we have done so before but this particular tower is new to us.
Wanting to allow plenty of time there, I went to bed early last night so I could get up early this morning thus having extra time in our day while still allowing us to get into our next overnight spot before traffic got bad.
Unfortunately, I had only been up a few minutes when Dave announced it was wasted effort since today is Sunday and the tower does not open until 1:00 pm on Sundays.
Oh, well. That just means I get to do my regular morning computer stuff this morning, right?
Wrong. Dave came in from hitching up the car and went right to the maps. We’ll be crossing into the Central Time Zone between here and North Platte. We are now an hour behind schedule.
It’s not unusual for me to have no idea what time it is. At least I do know what day it is. The Sunday funnies told me that.
TTYL,

Dave is much too enterprising. I would have hung around until 1:00 and then maybe spent one more night. But I’m with you. I never know what time it is and I’ve even been known to lose a day or two along the way.
Its always easier going from east to west and gain the hour at a time. I hate crossing from west to east and losing that time. I have a hard time know what day it is!!!
Dave cracks me up. Not only don’t we know sometimes what time it is, we usually don’t know what day it is…LOL
