Road talk

Today, driving from Casa Grande, AZ to Ehrenberg, AZ, Irene at the wheel:
Me: Can you do it?
Irene: Yes.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Can I get you anything? A nutrition drink? A banana?
No, I'm good.
For reals?
Yes.
How are you doing?
Good.
Really?
Yes.
Are you awake?
Yes. A truck is passing.
Can you do it?
Yes.
Do you need anything?
No.
Are you awake?
Yes.
How are you doing?
Good.
Really good?
Yes. A truck is passing.
Can you do it?
Yes.
Are you awake?
It was a long 207 mile trip through the desert in the wind. Tomorrow we'll get up and do it again.
