This morn I awoke on the bus in Bakersfield, with dreams from the night before reminiscent in my head. I’d been with some friends at a coffee shop someplace like Boulder, Colorado. Some laughing and drunken commotion drew our attention to a table nearby, and a giddy young lady proceeded to fall out of her chair and hit her head with a soft ‘thump’ on the pavement. As she fell her school girl skirt flew up, revealing her nakedness… well! So, the birds chirp merrily as I sit outside on the van and trailer, connected to the Internet via the WiFi at the nearby RV park. It’s been a while since I’ve been on the road! This time, ten years later, access to technology is pervasive. From chatting on the free evening minutes while barreling though the State on the train, to just connecting to open wireless hot-spots from within suburban residences, it’s easy to stay in contact using just the cellphone and computer. It appears that the SoCal leg of the trip may work out, although logistically the distances of LA will make it trying. But if I stay near the Hellness team and travel with them just about everywhere, I should do all right. I even heard that the bus will eventually be going to Portland and Seattle, and I’m invited to join them at that time. The timing is perfect – I was planning to be there and have good connections – I should be able to get a fair amount of work in during the next weeks, beefing up the coffers for trips to Europe and the San Juan Islands.
