Taking-My-Time-Isn’t-Easy-Bob Davis Podcast 963

Taking My Time Isn’t Easy

Most importantly if you know me you know taking my time isn’t easy. At all. In addition my subscribers know I am no stranger to travel. However now that I’ve gone full gonzo nomad the idea of taking my time has new significance. Learn more in Taking-My-Time-Isn’t-Easy-Bob Davis Podcast 963.

Heavy Travel For 6 Years

First of all I’ve been traveling a fair part of the year for the past 6 years. So choosing to hit the road permanently seemed to be a natural development if not a bit extreme.

No Plan Is The Plan

Second of all aside from planning the actual highways and back roads to take on travel days, no plan IS the plan.

Pace Of Travel For Type A’s

Therefore sitting in a state park in Indiana recently gave me some time to reflect on how the pace of travel should be different if you live on the road.

Stupid Mistakes

Even more when I am pushing to get from one place to another that is when I make stupid mistakes.

In The Now

Above all it becomes necessary to remind myself it’s all happening in the now.

I mean literally

No Home To Go To

Certainly I don’t have to go ‘back’ home at any time. so I should be able to take my time, right?

Zen Is Easier Said Than Achieved

On the other hand for type A individuals that is easier said than done.

Letting Go A Little

As a result this is something I have to remind myself of almost constantly. I am not giving up. Maybe just letting go a little.

Yes There Is An Overall Plan

To clarify there is a plan. I’ll let you guys in on some of it in this podcast.

But it is a loose plan.

Minute Details

I’ve never been one to plan things down to the minute details. However I can get pretty intense when things don’t work out exactly as I planned.

Finally I am sure more and more ideas like this will become clearer and ‘gel’ as they say, as time goes on.

It’s all very new to me right now.

Where’s The Landslide?

Learn more in Where’s-The-Landslide-Bob Davis Podcast 962. Penguin Pundits told us over and over one of these candidates would probably win the election ‘by a landslide’. What happened?

Not Minute By Minute Coverage

Firstly I don’t do minute by minute election coverage.

Nomad Election Coverage

Secondly I’ve made a decided effort to go on the road permanently to avoid just this sort of nonsense!

Fairfield Iowa

Most importantly I am in Fairfield, Iowa. A great mix of people in a great small Midwestern town.

A Political History For The Bob Davis Podcasts

Even more Fairfield was where I ended my 2020 Iowa Caucus fiasco coverage.

2020 Election Started With The Caucus Confusion And Ended The Same Way

Therefore I was honestly not surprised when November 3rd’s Election Results ended in nearly the same kind of confusion as the Iowa Caucuses this year.

Telling A Story

Above all podcasts have an opportunity to tell a story on any subject.

No Stats And Judgements…Sorta

We Know media loves its statistics and judgements on election day.

Taking You Through The Night…Again

On the other hand Hey-Where’s-The-Landslide?-Bob Davis Podcast 962 takes you through the night.

Locals Check Ins and Our Future

Certainly there are some stats. But there are also interviews with locals, check ins and some thoughts about the future sure to surprise.

Experts Just Can’t Help Themselves

Meanwhile all the experts are jumping up and down. What happened to the polling? Why didn’t things work out the way we said they would?

Bob Davis Podcasts Called It Weeks Ago

In short if you had been listening to these podcasts you already knew the polls actually predicted close races in the contested states. I’ve been saying this for weeks. Yeah, I talk about it in Where’s-The-Landslide-Bob Davis Podcast 962.

Finally now we have to wait for the results.

I’ll Get You Out Of The Political Roach Motel

In conclusion if you are enslaved by a political identity, or trapped in the roach motel of politics, this is a good podcast for you.

Results First

To sum up maybe it would be better if we waited for the results to come before we tell everyone what the results will be, right?

Dangerous Predictions

Nothing Has Been Worked Out

In fact nothing has been worked out.

Pick A Direction

Up Late

Fairfield Iowa

Therefore I will end my coverage of this insane election in Fairfield Iowa.
