Hello my deep fried veggie cheese steaks,

Oh it’s been so long!

We’ve been spending the last couple of weeks driving across this

big hunk of a country, nestled inside the mostly tightly packed van/microcosm.

Right now we’re in southern California eating orangey things, putting lotion on old sunburns and spending some awesome time with my sister and brother in law. They had a party/hootenanny last night that started with some dignified wine sipping and cheese eating, and ended with a pots and pans, guitars and yodels and a thousand songs flying around the living room.

We’ve seen a pile of awesome things this last week or so. Oh that I could list them all..

Casinos and wild rabbits. Heaping plates of diner gravy. And spaghetti. Over-sploding Walmarts. Giant guitars and thick muddy rivers. Vines growing up between gas stations and flickering motels. .Giant sunburned men. Welcoming families with cactus jelly and thick sherbet sunsets behind dusty parking lots. Tiny golf carts that act like cars.

Onward! Upward!
