Travelers three take stock of what just happened... “So THAT happened,” Ronnie enlightened. “Okay, who wants to go first?” Sandy was the first to broach that which needed broaching. “Okay, I picked up this hat, cause I recognized it to be a Cavalry hat, and immediately became John Wayne on the set of “Hondo.” Then, I came back to reality, I think, and then Dale Earnhardt let me buy it for one hundred American dollars.” Wilson was very specific using a matter of fact voice to describe something that was anything but. Probably because Ronnie and Sandy had both experienced something not matter of fact themselves neither of them questioned Wally’s account of current events. Sandy went next. “Well, I was looking at some Knicks and Knacks when suddenly a clothes rack caught my eye. The only thing on the clothes rack was a beautiful pink dress that looked pretty familiar so I took it off the rack. In my mind, I was dreaming that I was floating in a pink bubble over Oz looking down at Dorothy and the Munchkins get to know each other. Then I came back and Walt Disney was holding the dress and we chatted about this and that and then I grabbed the dress and was back in Oz telling green face why didn’t she take the damn slippers herself and then Walt brought me out of it and said I could continue my “vision” for one hundred American dollars. Then I asked you for the money she said, pointing to Ronnie. “Wellllll, I found this old sheepskin water pouch and picked it up and was immediately walking with some guy named Thaddeus a couple of hundred years ago and we were on our way to join up with Travis and Bowie at the Alamo. Oh yeah, I believe I was my Great Grandfather George Washington Cottle who really was there. Then I was yanked back to whatever reality was going on in there and found myself chatting with Jimi Hendrix. Did you know he likes to use verses from his songs in normal conversation? Anyway, he basically let me know that I could go back and get taken out at the Alamo for one hundred American dollars and then it was now.” While Ronnie was telling the story he had his hand over the sheepskin but did not touch it. “So now what?” Wilson asked the pertinent question. “I want to go to Houston, Texas,” said two voices at once. Ronnie and Sandy looked at each other to see who read whose mind when Wilson spoke up. “Thank God, I thought I was the only one.”
