Loved this post. The line "just to see this large confirmation that, yes, in fact, it is hot as hell outside?" made me laugh out loud

“I’m not chasing the light. I’m not running from fear.” Love it! Which idiots are not giving you a big deal??

I loved this. It brought back memories of road trips past. The freedom. The energy that rises out of temporary displacement. Coming home. Soon nice to ride along with you through the desert.

Driven across country four times and I've done the Los Angeles to Vegas trip more times than I can count. Love those desert drives. And every time I drive from LA to LV I tell myself *this* time I will take Zzyzx Rd. I never do, but damn it, one of these days...

Oh man, I've had that same exact thought basically every time. One day...

Oh god, Entroducing! This record never fails to whoosh me right back into a particular moment with such gleaming clarity. So so good. And coincidentally, I've been writing about that specific period of time, so I'm going to give this a listen again today. Thanks for the time-machine ticket! (And happy new year!)
