What are the odds?

We slept on two foam mattress pads. Our clothes hung from hangers along the van walls.

It was Florida. In the morning we drove to the beach and showered. Then we went to a diner for coffee and breakfast, lingering over coffee while listening to mid-70s hits on the jukebox. Somehow I remember “Mocedades – Eres Tu” in particular.

The rest of the day we were at classes or the college library. We ate ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch and dinner. We had late night coffee at IHOP. Occasionally we splurged on a half-gallon of Breyer’s mint chocolate chip ice cream and spooned it all up in one sitting.

We were broke and saving rent. It wasn’t a bad life. We kinda had fun with it. But it wasn’t an all-in-one-van solution.

The good news is that tons of the original R&B are now available for free and without ads on YouTube. Here’s almost twelve hours of the first season:

–“Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends Season 1”

The bad news is that Amazon has rebooted R&B and it is absolutely dire. The rebooters have no idea of the silly, comfy charm of the original.

Instead the characters are manic and chirpy, informed by “The Simpsons.”

Brr.

Compare this development with Biden and “Rachel” Levine’s open promotion of “gender-affirming” care for kids:

We’re starting to get a collection of old, old class C and A RV’s permanently parked just off a couple of streets in town. They were moving every week or so, but I guess the police have given up making them move.

The temperature is 105° right now and I doubt they’re running any generators, so it must be an oven inside.

Over twenty Mercedes Sprinter delivery vans on the road. Eventually those vans, and thousands more will outlive their usefulness and be replaced.

I wonder how affordable they will be for homeless, or if they will all be scrapped and crushed.
