• So Far…

  So today the Colorado-based festivities wind down.

  And in a little while, I’ll be zooming forth across the vastness of the Great Plains (which used to be covered with buffalo grass, and the buffalo to eat it, and then was covered with, well, nothing, which is why there was a dust bowl in the 1930s, and is now covered with invasive species like wheat).

  I had originally thought I’d follow US 287 the whole way, as a sort of conceptual travel thing, but I’m just going to be boring (and bored) and take the interstate in order to make time. It’s hot out there. Salina, KS, here I come!

  In the course of this party, I got a little too overloaded and I had to get a motel room. I should have just gotten the room from the outset, because this happened last year, too. I also came down with a sore throat for reasons of not getting any sleep. Usually the sore throat waits until I’m in Texas, but this time it came out early. Emergen-C and Odwalla and lots of water are my friends.
