road day 2 nm to az

I have driven over a thousand miles so far. My hands ached from fighting the strong winds all the way, so I ended up buying some leather driving gloves that make my life more comfortable. Now I just need a dashing scarf.

Today's weird sights include the tremendous smoke clouds. It was actually hazy in Texas but it was very smoky through New Mexico and into Arizona. You could smell it everywhere.

When we got on the interstate, we ended up next to an RV pulling a huge grill and a giant smoker shaped like an armadillo. I chased it for miles so Mike could get a picture. Follow colmmcsky on lj or twitter to see our random photos. I can never take them since I do all the driving. Also I take shaky pictures. Once I had an app meant to wait til my phone camera was steady. It never let me take a picture!

Soon we are off on a steam train to the Grand Canyon. Yesterday I bought myself a worry stone at a roadside stand. It made me miss Grandpa fiercely.

things oh things

I hate typing on my phone. I must officially be old.

Sitting in hotel lobby next to old dude wearing canvas slip on shoes and reading "Unfit for Command" that awful smear campaign book about John Kerry.

Mike's credit card has a Soviet flag on it. At home that is a hilarious joke about capitalism and mildy embarassing at the Chinese place. Here I think people think we are communists.

Fuck me sideways the air is so dry here. At least the coleman 9qt cooler holds ice forever. Seriously best small cooler ever.

I missed Anderson Cooper nominating the Drafthouse for Nobel Peace last night. Magnited we stand!!!!
