Lang's trip to India

And now for Rex

We noted no escorts for long loads only wide loads such as the windmill generator head units. The escorts (little Suzuki mini buses seem popular for this job) travel behind the overwidth vehicles about two car lengths back. Sometimes they may have a flashing light but most times they are saving on electricity.

Jabberwocky
BY LEWIS CARROLL
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

I used to read this to my grandkids when they were 4 or 5 with all the dramatic expression and handwaving. They just sat enthralled and I believe they understood the story.

Thanks Oliver, now it all makes sense, ......I think.

Thanks for the travel log Lang and the great pics. I haven't read or heard of the Jabberwocky since our English teacher read it to us in High School a long time ago; thanks Oliver.
