The last several days (or weeks) have been miserable. I didn't eat much for the 2 weeks I was in Vegas, plus the weather was pretty crap...

At 10:22 am PST, on Las Vegas Boulevard South (a couple miles south of the strip), I officially topped 1,000 miles walking since July 31.

At a Starbuck's in Vegas, I just heard a piano "cover" of Radiohead's 'Paranoid Android.' Wow!

Shower yesterday. First one in 46 days. A ridiculous record that will not be broken.

The train stopped right about where I wanted it to stop, but there was a railroad cop waiting for me. Now I have to go to court in 11 days.

Two trainhops in three days. I just want this one to stop after 30 miles.

My suspicions have just been confirmed: I am in downtown Tucson. Now to find a good on-ramp or truck stop (or whatever I end up doing).

Off the train at 2:30. Have no idea where I am. Looks like some kind of city.

I've been on this train for almost nine hours now. When the train starts going really fast, like 50 or 60 miles an hour, the shifting of...

Here in La Quinta, had I not just been paying attention as I crossed a street legally, I absolutely would have been killed by a FedEx truck.

Please continue wasting water, California. We'll make more for you, just so you can have lots of green grass where there should be none.

It just occurred to me that I topped 1,000 miles walking this morning. That is, 1,000 miles in 2008. Walked about 1,100 last year.

Rancho Cucamonga. Koookamaaaaahnga. Titikaka. Heh, heh heh. Oh yeah. Thank you, drive thru.

For some reason I couldn't figure out how to embed the video of GloZell interviewing me, so here's a link to it . Oh, nevermind. -- ...

Apparently underage prostitution is legal in Los Angeles County.

By the way, Go Utes! (That was for Luke because Luke was the captain of the golf team at Utah and Luke is a very cool guy.)

If you watched the Tonight Show last night and heard a bunch of screaming for Dolly Parton, that was mostly GloZell. Shortly after the show ...
