He now had all the time in the world to sit on the edge of the continent and shoot the breeze. We talked about life, culture and natural beauty of the USA from the East coast to the West coast. Ernie followed the spring weather like a bird. He started his migration North when the flowers blossomed in Arizona in March and followed the Pacific Coast to the Northwest by summer.

He was migrating North and I was roving South. It was a pleasure crossing his path.
