Westward bound

Destination: El Paso, TX then upwards to Las Cruces, NM. [url=www.astrofish.net/travel.html]Details[/url] Weather? Blowing dust advisory.

In other news, “Women are at their cattiest when [url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3499697.stm]ovulating[/url].” (Not sure that really qualifies as news.)

[url=http://www.5sob.com/]Thought[/url] I’d linked this before, the five stages of beer. There’s a 6th stage of beer, too, but only for folks who live in trailer parks.

After a late lunch at the Hula Hut with a Pisces, wherein I’d wished I’d taken a camera because the fish has been painted again, I came home and fished for a spell. I could see my finned brethren in the creek’s water, but alas, they all deigned to dine on my bait. I just wanted another photo op under the dark of the moon.

I checked my suitcases. The other evening, as I was folding laundry, all I did was take clean clothes, fold them up and drop them back into the suitcase. Been one of those long, extended times when the suitcase is more a home than home.

I sat on the bed and looked at the wall of books, trying to figure out what text I should carry with me. Something easy to read. Something about travel. What are some of the greatest road stories every told? Personally, I’ve found [url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0679785892/fishinguideto-20]Fear and Loathing[/url] to be one of the finest travel tales, ever. Other options? [I]Life on the Mississippi[/I]? Better yet, [I]Huck Finn[/I]? How about the ultimate road trip, [I]The Odessey[/I]?

Far West Texas, Mexico, Southern New Mexico, all that terrain begs for Cormac McCarthy material, but I won’t have time to finish one of those.
