“I built this bike with a Harbor Freight motor. It isn’t anything special. I go slow, but my dogs and I have rolled from Arizona to Florida with this bike. We got to Mobile a few days ago.

We followed a New Year’s parade in Lake Havasu, Arizona, and a 4th of July parade in Texarkana, Texas. I have never been to Mardi Gras, but I want to follow behind one of these parades, too.

These dogs are my babies. Their names are Run Run and Miss Poppie. Run Run was the runt of the litter, and we have been together a long time.

I am 58 years old, and I am traveling across the country to see how humans are doing. I write stories during my coffee time every morning. I want to be a story writer like Mark Twain.”
