I haven't mentioned it, but I'm on a cross-country drive with Sherrila. We are driving from San Jose, CA to Atlanta, GA. The trip got a late start, so it started rather than ended in September. Right now we are in Oklahoma City which is far more happenin' than any other place we have spent a significant amount of time in thus far (Bakersfield, CA; Kingman, AZ; Flagstaff, AZ; Alburquerque, NM; Amarillo, TX). Next is Memphis, then Atlanta.
Alburquerque had an amazing vegan Thai restaurant.
Amarillo had three random burning outlines on the freeway, all in the same half mile stretch. What were they? Fallen crosses? Swastikas? We may never know.

I stopped brushing my hair for a few days in the beginning, so it locked up into this Katamari-like bun, pulling all other nearby strands of hair into it. Small, free bottles of conditioner from the Hilton and I are working on it.
