My plans have backfired badly.

Tonight in Hays,Kansas,we've conflicted badly.Booze has brought out several conflicts in our relationship.I was asked why I looked so serious,to which I replied 'I feel a bit of a fat bugger'.I got the response 'Oh well.At least you're not immensely fat.'.

Matters have deteriorated from this point.

I answered said point to be be greeted with the reply 'Excuse me?',which was repeated after I asked if she (Persistence) was either rude or deaf.

Travelling together is something of a journey in itself,I guess.And this after I was enjoying Kansas a lot.We journeyed to northern mid-Kansas today,and you know what?Almost everyone on the road waved at us.Such politeness is unheard of where I come from,and I returned it enthusiastically.

But at Hays,we've hit something of a bump in the road,and tomorrow,I fear for the communication in the car.We've had to adapt to communicating for practical purposes over the last month,but tonights exchanges have highlighted differences in viewpoints.I can only hope that Kansas,or what remains of it,soothes or differences before we hit Colorado.
