This is supposed to be for any original work I go, but it is the default category so plenty of items will have this category mis-applied to them.
A lot can happen in a week when you're on the road. This time, the end came. The end to this chapter at least. I'm technically "off the road" for the winter, arriving near Bisbee, Arizona last night. My most recent post had me not even in California yet. The only thing to do is … Continue reading Shadowing The Sierras
The final Canadian leg of this year's journey had trees attacking, power failures, fires, and yet a serenity instead of calamity. Stay calm and carry on: Road Trip 2024 continues...
Here on the border with the US I am taking some time to look back and forward. There are still a little over 2,000 miles between here and my likely home base for the winter. There are still stop offs of places and things to see, some people to visit, and a large chunk of … Continue reading Ups And Downs And Run Arounds
"The historical cycle seems to be: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to apathy; from apathy to dependency; and from dependency back to bondage once more."
Well I won't leave you in suspense: I made it. I was able to get to Vancouver Island in time to see the Martin Mars make its last flight. Where I last updated everyone though was getting down to Bisbee, Arizona. However, bad luck followed me. I got my tooth fixed in fairly short order, … Continue reading Racing The Clock: The Trek North
But if you've been following along, you'll likely note that most of my trip hasn't been a trip, but getting to places to start a trip. From Bisbee to Park City for the Veterans Charity Ride, From there out to Lexington to visit family, and the long run down from Michigan to Mexico. Most of my miles have been...
I just did a fair amount of reflecting on a deeper topic: the difference between nostalgia and genuinely remembering the things in our past that were better. It eventually devolved into thoughts about paper maps. It's interesting as a topic because there are plenty of people who never had to learn paper maps, so they … Continue reading Navigating the World: Reflections on Paper Maps vs Online Maps
Don't ask me, man... I just work here. There is little to update, as the last week has just been a long interstate burn. 500-mile days for three days straight, then hanging out on a cot recovering. I'm at the jump-off point of my 2024 road trip, even though I put about 2,500 miles on … Continue reading Road Trip Or Pre-Trip..? the story so far
Excited and tired at the same time. That's the best way to describe my first week on the road. I'm not sure this part can truly qualify as a road trip, since I'm trying to get to the "start" in Maine as quickly as possible, so I've been mobbing up the interstate and putting in … Continue reading Back on The Road
Look, we can't really blame the internet for our problems. By design, it is a bunch of programming designed to provide us with information. Whether a website, search engine, database, or some hellscape like Tik Tok, the internet is trying to connect us to the information we are seeking. The unintended consequences are many, but … Continue reading The Internet Lament: Is This Really Who We Want To Be?
