the trip to the desert
i ran across this image today. given that there's a denny's it might have been taken in roswell itself. i don't have enough resolution on the image to tell.
the beetle, the denny's, the glowering desert sky... these images, especially when seen together, are iconographic for me. entering the desert has special meaning for me now. i remember that first year and how incredible it all seemed that we were actually doing this. the astounding experience of traveling in a caravan of 50 beetles through the desert, of entering roswell for the first time...
ok, ok. i know what i sound like to other people when i talk about it. it's not a cult. really :)
anyway, i'm not going this year, but seeing that picture makes me long.

i didn't know you weren't going at all this year... i knew you weren't doing the website, and thought that you might go in someone else's pod, but i guess it didn't occur to me that you wouldn't go at all.
oof!

yeah, in the last couple of months i decided not to go at all, mainly because it's such a big resource drain. money, time, and energy.
besides, this way i'll be around for ray's Significant Birthday!
