Burning Man Aftermath

Aftermath BM affected me a bit on the personal level this year. We always giggled at the “welcome home” mantra, because “home has running water.” This being the 4th time, BRC did feel like home. I really wanted to be there. I was glad to be there. It felt great to get out and mingle […]

Denver roadtrip

In a fit of three-day planned spontaneousness, I drove to Denver this weekend. I left work at 7 PM on Friday and hit the road. The V1 managed to save me three times on 183 before I even got to 183. It was well after dark by the time I passed through Sweetwater and I […]

Boston – NYC roadtrip

I have returned from my whistlestop visit of the east coast. On the EWR->AUS flight there were three ultra hot, size-2 girls. Listening to them chatter about timezones and daylight savings, they revealed they were coming from Saint Maarten. One of them even smiled at me as I did a double-take as they were boarding. […]

TSA warnings, what?

So at AUS, CLE, and BOS today the announcements seemed extra excited about the ORANGE security color, advising travelers to be extra cautious about suspicious items and people. What does orange mean? Is that worse than red? or is it worse than yellow? Fuck if I know. As Alex says, they need a numbering system, […]

Roadtrip: South Padre Island

I went to South Padre Island this weekend. I left Saturday afternoon and came home this morning. I pretty much piled clothes into a bag, picked up my cameras and left. About a five hour drive down. I had a blast and recommend it to anyone looking for some sun. If you’re looking for a […]

Finally back home in Austin. I arrived here Saturday afternoon after making the 2700+ mile trip from Bellevue. All together, I put in 6,295 miles in the two weeks I’ve been gone. I spent Monday and Tuesday visiting friends in the area and began the drive home Wednesday afternoon. I had intended to drive down […]

Highpointing Texas

Hoooome! What a trip! I took Thursday and Friday off from work and headed out west. I left Austin at 11 AM after some last-minute-last-minute shopping and arrived at the Guadalupe Mountain visitor center around 8:30 PM. Along the way I discovered all bottled tea is complete ass, the sweetened kind being the worst. “Lipton […]

Birth of squiggle map

Where have I been? Today’s mental exercise was plotting where I’ve traveled in my life. The result is a map with a bunch of squiggles. Rather than say “I’ve been to these states,” I wanted to narrow it down since most states are a few inches across. For this I count places I’ve actually set […]
