Long Haul

August 20, 2010

I drove 760 miles today, and my bones are vibrating as if I were still humming down the road. It’s like little internal combustion explosions are shaking my innards. Anyway, after two full days and almost 1400 miles on I-40, I am struck by this very obvious fact: the United States of America is a really big country. And it is amazing how much of it is relatively flat and basically shadeless. It’s just out there baking in the relentless, torrid sun.
