Don't I Get a Phone Call?

It seemed like a great idea...  Hell, I even convinced myself...

All I would need is three maybe four hours of sleep & I would be great! Hail the conquering hero!!!!
 Didn't have to clock into work till 10:00 AM.  The coastal bend area was just 1.5 hours away.  That equated to three hours of driving time which left me with six of indulgences taking into account the 3-4 hours of sleep.  I could be back with time to spare.
Father time you are soooo my B!!!
I hadn't forgotten a thing and much like formula one I had just enough fuel to complete the mission.  This was gonna be perfect! all the necessities were packed.

Cowboy hat with turkey feather
Case of Beer
Bag of chips
Extra Jeans
Boxers
Socks
Cooler
Fishing rod (just for show)
Tackle box (who are we kidding?  What crazy fish can be eaten when it has lived in a watering hole for cattle / tank?)
Smile

I even remembered the tooth brush and towel...  Even though a Jedi needs not these things.

Within all the excitement I could only think of one thing.  My pink feathered friends.  Just a shade away from the crane and the cardinal.  Those poor misunderstood bastards.

They did not chose this life.  They did not chose this place.
Yet, they sparkle like no other.  Beauty and strength in numbers and like a huge fuchsia eclipse when they all take to flight.

Was I out of my mind or had I just found the freagin' Rabbit Hole?
