Approximately 100 masks and 20 gallons of hand sanitizer later, we made it home, safe and healthy! Burrowing Owl Books in Amarillo was the official last stop on the ol' Struggle Bus Tour to receive a few books. If you're local and don't yet have a copy of Struggle Bus, head on over to Burrowing Owl and grab a copy. If you've already read my book, head over to Burrowing Owl and buy a bunch of different books or gift cards. They are a delightful local business that could use some support.
Quick note: if you haven't yet subscribed for a chance to win a Struggle Bus Prize Pack (including some AirPods Pro), do so before Monday 8/10 at the bottom of this page or here: https://kingsumo.com/g/ku1npn/struggle-bus-prize-pack-giveaway If you're already subscribed to my email updates, no need to do so again. You're already entered.
It was the middle of May, and we had a plan: take off on the ol’ Struggle Bus Tour as soon as the COVID numbers dropped and states began to enter their latter re-opening phases.
Numbers dropped. States reopened. It looked like our 2020-long nightmare might just be drawing to a close.
We masked-up and began our trip. Two days after we arrived in Philadelphia, virus numbers began to reverse course. Ugh. The Struggle Bus Tour was off to a fitting start. Thanks, Corona.
