I&#8217;ve even donated to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Harvey relief. It&#8217;s the right thing to do.<br \/>\nAnd while what&#8217;s left of Harvey is getting ready to pass just under us (but is forecasted to dump 2-4&#8243; of rain here), I have news to pass along. Since Harvey&#8217;s going to be ruining my typical Friday plans of going to Burger King, I went yesterday.<br \/>\nWhen I got back, my parents were on the front porch talking. They saw me and mother said that father told her, the thing about going to Dallas (and asked if I want to go). Of course I said yes.<br \/>\nHowever, she thought there was a small town around here named &#8216;Dallas&#8217;.. and not Dallas, Texas. Was told by father it&#8217;ll be for two days, and we would be going by car instead of by plane.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m split on this one. On one hand, seeing scenery I&#8217;ve never seen before (let alone the size of Dallas).. WOO!! &#8212; But on the other..remembering how I was &#8216;sandwiched&#8217; in the back seat all the way to see the eclipse the last two weeks ago (and this time the ride would possibly take a day and a half of traveling, depending what hour we leave (may have to get my sleep as we go))&#8230; yeah, sounds like fun.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why we&#8217;re going, is mainly to go on the same street where JFK got shot. And the only reason <em>I&#8217;m<\/em> going is.. &#8220;WOO! ROAD TRIP! ADVENTURE!! :D&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mother also told me that I would have to buy a sleeping bag, incase I may have to sleep on the floor (if there&#8217;s no hotels).<br \/>\nSo okay, you can call me crazy. You could say &#8220;why bother when Google Earth VR is the next best thing for exploring&#8221;. Believe me, if I had a computer beefy enough to run a VR Headset (and even have a VR Headset to begin with), I would be downloading it in a heartbeat.<br \/>\nAlso, it&#8217;s better to see things in person than look at them from an application (that it&#8217;s image may\/not be updated to the day you saw it).<\/p>\n<p>You know, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hr1oBHPrLRg\" target=\"_blank\">a typical gamer<\/a> with a &#8216;career&#8217; of raiding and pwning noobs would prefer to stay home. But me, how I&#8217;m not interested in any of that, and also have nothing to lose( except my computer of course)? I&#8217;m all for it! I guess it&#8217;s just that adventurer side of me speaking out.<\/p>\n<p>I feel cautiously happy about this, because anything could change between now and then. Heck, I might even lose interest (or come down with a cold) and decide to not go. Anything is possible, for good or bad, says the hands of fate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn&#8217;t know how to start this blog post without saying my deepest condolences to the people in Houston.
