Hey bloggins, its been six days on the road so far. That's six days without my laptop. Six days without world of warcraft... Needless to say, life's been pretty hard. All this "carrying" and "sleeping" is starting to take its toll on my fragile, sexy (sexy) body. At the very least, I've got my Tolkien books to keep me warm...
I'm lucky; I fancy myself a photographer, cause by golly this part of the country is somethin' else. Fun Fact: Everything in New Mexico is edible or deadly. Let me drop some knowledge on you... within sight of the house where we played in Las Cruces there was a fig tree, an apple tree, a pomegranite tree, and a pecan tree. I ate figs STRAIGHT OFF THE BRANCH! The only thing that could have possibly taken it up a notch would be if 4 to 5 golden-haired wood nymphs hand fed me figs and fanned me with palm fronds while pouring the finest draughts of sweet morning dew into my mouth from their crystal chalices! That, unfortunately, did not happen. Rae Rae and I went behind the house and took pictures of junked stuff (featured in an earlier post) and I stared down a wild dog. It was suprisingly easy, probably because i'm ten times bigger -and smarter- than a dog. With one less puppy in my way, Rae Rae and I were left to admire the pecan orchard in peace (although it may have been pomegranites, they hadn't really given fruit yet).
That night we stayed with our new friends Jacinto and Mantissa and they dropped all kinds of knowledge on us, it blew my mind! I didn't count the amount of times I said "Man...thats WILD!" but I bet it was a bunch - give or take a couple. On the way out I got the wise idea to pluck a prickly pear. Dont let the alliteration fool you - its not as fun as it sounds... so about 20 tiny splinters later we were well on our way to Arizona. I learned a valuable lesson in Arizona: Dramamene cures car sickness by replacing it with a vegetable-like state of zombification. I dont even know why, but under that influence I bought some candy peach rings and post cards.
Take some care,
Sean
ps: California - your beach has the biggest cannonball comin' its way!
