Coming soon. And then going somewhere else.
The Haul Road
So where were we? Oh yeah, Whitehorse, capital of the Yukon Territory, waiting to repair the semi-crippled Traipsemobile. It wasn’t easy. The service department at the local Dodge dealer clamed to be booked solid for the next week. The local [...]
Hell On Wheels
So, where were we? Oh yeah, watching the sun set over Stanley Bay in Vancouver. It’s been two months since the last real dispatch. I should apologize for that. I’m not going to, of course, but I realize it would be the [...]

Vancouver Sunsets
So where were we? Oh yeah, hanging with Kenney Dale Johnson in Seattle. I’ve done a fair amount of lollygagging on this leg of the trip, more than I expected. The plan, more or less, had been to go up the Pacific [...]

The Rainy Part of Hell
So where were we? Oh yeah, the Regal Lodge in Oxnard. There were a few more strange days in northern California after that. In Santa Cruz, I went to see Gillian Welch play at a gig at the Cocoanut Grove ballroom right [...]
The Regal Lodge
So where were we? Oh yeah, at the Grand Canyon, watching tourists pretend to fall in. I drove to Los Angeles from there, to attend the “Bernie” premiere and, theoretically, get some writing done. Which I did, kind of, finishing the “Breaking [...]
Grand Canyon
So, where were we? Oh, yeah, on the Blues Train in Durango. I had actual work to do after that, a couple of days in Albuquerque, visiting the set of “Breaking Bad” for a New York Times piece and, in the process, [...]

"Breaking Bad" Returns and Walter White's Descent Continues
Night Train to Durango
So, where were we? Oh yeah, at the “Bernie” world premiere in downtown Los Angeles. Because people wanted to hear about that in a timely manner (as opposed to my usual timetable, “Whenever the fuck I get around to it.”) I posted [...]
