| "Am I your kind of woman?" "I dreamed about a woman like you since youth." "Oh really?" "Combination of Wonder Woman & Jayne Mansfield." "Really?" "As a bonus, you can dunk, too." Rhonda laughed softly before we continued. |
|---|
| ποΈ We see The Newlyweds, David and Rhonda Bella Guardia, have one of their moments of "pillow talk," before they call it a night to get rest. Because of his limited experience in relationships, David has a blind spot in his judgment when it comes to women. At this time, it's not an issue, and even though Rhonda never does David any wrong, he is still blinded by his love for her. How does David view Rhonda? He makes 3 references: |
- As big a fan of Batman-- especially the cinematic Dark Knight as presented by director Christopher Nolan-- as David Guardia is, he has just as much respect for one of the rare female superheroes worthy of the label
epic: Wonder Woman. She holds her own against male counterparts Superman (the alien space child made "super" thanks to the energy of Sol, Earth's yellow sun) and Batman (the most fully-developed mortal possible courtesy of an immense inherited fortune). - Jayne Mansfield may be known to today's generations as the mother of Mariska Hargitay, one of the stars of the long-running television series Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. However, during the 1950s and 1960s she would be mentioned in the same class of actresses as Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell. Marilyn Monroe caused men to forget their own names, and Jane Russell made many men strain their necks like that guy in that meme. Like Marilyn Monroe, she was featured in an issue of some trendy magazine called Playboy. Like the full-figured Jane Russell, bras were very important for her.
- As the expression about National Basketball Association players goes, "you can't teach height"; Rhonda definitely has height. Despite looking like a mismatched couple-- with David being 1 foot (30cm) shorter than Rhonda-- they made such a perfect team for his Epic Ride that he wanted her to be his mate for life. At 2.0 meters (6 feet, 7 inches), she is the same height as Darth Vader and taller than Qui-Gon Jinn (played by 6'4" Liam Neeson). |

| "Am I your kind of man?" "As much as I love you, I wouldn't have noticed you before I saw you in Davenport." "Ouch!" "I'm sorry." "It's true, so it's OK. What changed?" "My dream." "So you took a chance on me?" She nodded. |
|---|
| ποΈ While David Guardia lets a certain aspect of his being control how he views his wife, Rhonda Bella Guardia is more realistic and objective in how she views her husband. Superficially, he would have been a non-playing character in her life had it not been for 2 things. First, she had heard about his astounding recovery from that near-fatal explosion he survived in Le Claire, Iowa, US. Second, she had a dream which featured a figure known as "The Templar," and when she saw him at the bar in Davenport, Iowa, US, she determined that he matched the figure she saw in her dream. |

| "You also had that alpha quality about you, even if you looked like a schmoe." "That must have been another upgrade during my healing." We both laughed at that. "You have my undying love & devotion. I love you with my life." |
|---|
| ποΈ Looks can be deceiving. Look no further than the scene in The Empire Strikes Back where Luke Skywalker is seeking Yoda and is led on a wild goosechase in search of the legendary Jedi Master, only to discover that the short, frumpy, ancient creature leading him around is none other than Yoda himself. In Luke's mind, Yoda looked like the aforementioned Qui-Gon Jinn, so you can imagine the major let down he felt when Yoda revealed himself. Not that David Guardia is anything like Yoda, but Rhonda Bella detected something special about him which set him apart from other people she knew. Besides the physical upgrade both newlyweds discovered during their honeymoon in San Diego, California, US, he had undergone internal upgrades which are reflected in his conduct. |

| How important is Route 66? It was a big enough deal to be written in white spray paint on the roof of a shell of an old-school Volkswagen Beetle covered in tye-dye patterns at the Motel Cafe in Conway, Texas. That's what we saw. |
|---|
| ποΈ From its earliest days, Route 66 had been one of the iconic American roads. Songs, television series, books, and movies have been made featuring Route 66 either directly or via subtext. Even into the 21st Century-- in the form of the Disney Pixar computer animated movie Cars-- Route 66 remains a touchstone of American pop culture. Even to this day-- years after the Interstate Highway System rendered the US Numbered Highway System (which included Route 66) obsolete-- many people and places near where Route 66 had been marking locations with various forms of the "brand" called Route 66. Many of these markers are actual road signs. Some markers take the form of murals or monuments. A few even exist as graffiti, as seen at the Motel Cafe in Conway, Texas, US. |

| About 16 miles past Conway is Groom. There the main attractions are the large white cross, a momument park for the Stations of the Cross, a wind farm, & a leaning water tower. We took time to study the Stations in our own ways. |
|---|
ποΈ In Christianity, the stations of the Cross is the 14 events which took place during the Passion of Jesus Christ. It begins with the moment He is condemned to death of the cross. It ends when His pierced and spiritless body is placed inside the tomb or sepulchre. In between are moments of struggle, assistance, and compassion. Regarding Rat Bike, this was meant to be a quiet moment for the members of Felix Legion (including Hindu Sanjay Rampersad and "godless" until recently Lindsay Etxeberria(when she left her far-left activist a life behind in Portland, Oregon, US). |

| "Don't go in there," I tell Hank. "It's just an empty cage, Dave!" "Empty or not, a jail's a jail. Even this one in Alanreed." "You're serious about this, aren't you?" "What's that quote? I have a bad feeling about this." |
|---|
ποΈ The "jail" in Alanreed, Texas, US is literally an outdoor cage large enough for 2 people. For people passing by this place, they would want to take the photograph of themselves as a "prisoner" as some sort of a gag picture. David Guardia, on the other hand, finds himself triggered by the sight of the jail. It's not obvious to anyone (not even him), but he is foreshadowing his own experience many years later in Blue Lion and then The Bronze. |

In McLean we noticed some murals. One mural was headlined with this text: McLean, The Heart of Old Route 66. It featured 2 dancing teenagers; a guitar player over his car; a waitress on skates; skinny Elvis doing his thing. |
|---|
| ποΈ This was one of a few murals Felix Legion would encounter as it passed through McLean, Texas, US. As a travel entry, there wasn't much else for Felix Legion to do at this location. |
