Go ahead, ask me
Posted on June 29, 2009 | 5 CommentsThe answer is yes. I’m tired of traveling. Perhaps if I wasn’t sick, then I’d feel differently. But I am, and I don’t. My plan for a while now has been to go to Charlotte, North Carolina, visit my parents, go to the beach, visit... -
Red lights
Posted on June 26, 2009 | No CommentsAs I enter into the one-horse town of Bronco at 4pm, two pickup trucks, abandoned, rusted, and torn apart, sit on the state line. A single flower stands alone in front of the barbed wire fence. Time change from Mountain to Central in this border... -
A girl named Kesley
Posted on June 25, 2009 | 1 CommentIn the spring of last year, I scheduled a shoot with a girl named Kesley. Little did I know before we met, what a perfect model she would be. Such a treat. Beautiful, fun, funny, a sweet laugh, and photographed like an angel. The shoot... -
Birthday
Posted on June 24, 2009 | 5 CommentsThis morning, I awoke in a forest in Mississippi. It was forty years ago today that I was born in Saudi Arabia. Dhahran, to be exact. I was grateful I didn’t wake to a scorching sun as I crawled out of my one-man tent this... -
General Store, Caprock
Posted on June 23, 2009 | No CommentsA Short Tale Three hundred miles. Five hundred kilometers. Thirty miles an hour, stop every fifty kilometers, rest for 15 minutes. Ten stops.

Travel day
Posted on June 13, 2009 | 2 CommentsI intend to cover a lot of ground today. Probably not the best idea considering that it’s already after 11am and I’ll be entering Central Standard Time today, losing an hour. Doesn’t matter. I have a mission. Get to Houston. (Not today; just very soon.)... -
UFO Landing Site to Roswell
Posted on June 12, 2009 | 1 CommentWhen pulling up directions on Google to Roswell, I entered my current location (Socorro, New Mexico) and was given three options to specify as the starting address. The first option was about five blocks from where I’m sitting now and was titled “UFO Landing Site.”... -
Current conditions
Posted on June 10, 2009 | 1 Comment64.3 degrees Farenheit. Partly Cloudy. I’d give the five-day forecast for Heber, AZ, only I’m simply passing through. Resting at the current moment. A point: those of you who drive on Hwy260 between Payson, AZ and Heber, AZ…. like the residents of Louisiana, I encourage... -
Slow Train to Dawn
Posted on June 9, 2009 | 1 CommentThroughout this trip, I’ve stayed at hotels, motels, and campgrounds. I’d honestly prefer to stay in campgrounds (mostly). Although a lot of convenience is lost, it’s nice to be “in nature,” although that nature is somewhat unnatural at times. And at times, the campgrounds are... -
Tempe/Mesa
Posted on June 9, 2009 | No CommentsI’ve been in Tempe/Mesa for a couple of days now. I’m leaving today. I wanted to get the scooter looked at before I got back on the road since it’s been a little shaky since I crossed that trail leaving San Dimas. Days ago now....
