Journey

Just got off the road these are some observations, since I'm so good at those.

The return journey was more eventful than the out journey. Why? because it involved speeding, a slipped serpentine belt, driving through storms, bad food, and a really cheap motel.

Only practice a craft in public if you don't mind strangers giving you things. Um, well, don't crochet or knit anyway or you'll get yarn dumped on you. Not that I think that's a terrible thing I was going to get yarn anyway but my dad did freak out a little because I had just gotten rid of yarn and here some lady gives me a suit case full of it. Yep, a whole suit case.

Technology is awesome. However, you have no business checking facebook in the mountains. If you're in the mountains just hide the phone. Unless it's your camera but really you should have your good camera anyway. I say that because your phone camera will not do justice to the amazing things you'll see.

Bears are messy. Do I need to say more?

There are no hipster Asians in northern New Mexico. I didn't realize how culturally "impoverished" this particular region was until I got to the Dairy Queen in Ludlow, CA and encountered hipster Asians for the first time in two weeks, wait now that I think about it they could've been bros. Anyway, it was kind of weird.

California smells different from other states.

Thunder storms are a lot of fun. Especially the monsoony ones out in the desert. I mean, yeah, they're small but they have lightning and they make the temperature bearable for a few hours.

That'll do it for now.
