La Adios Grande

I am not your rolling wheels
I am a highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
-Audioslave

I have now topped 2,500 miles by driving alone, which is why the Toyota got an oil change before the Philly stop. It was great, but I am road weary.

I got my annual physical today and was poked and prodded more than an alien at Roswell! At least I was not anal probed. I get my blood work back on Monday, but he gave me a clean bill of health to the naked eye.

So thus begins the clearing of shit out of the house. I'm going to try and get it all out.
I guess this is the big good-bye to Washington DC and the Confederacy and I am so ready to go. I like crackers with cheese, not all the time.

Two weeks from now I am back in Madrid. Que bien! Got to get health insurance inbetween then, which like trying to build a fucking pyramid. In the USA you have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of medical insurance. Is that really what Washington and Jefferson meant? I doubt it.

More calls to make. It never ends.

Well, the second leg of the tour ended well. Closing with Radiohead's 'optimistic,' done acapella and drumming on garbage can lids, was a smash hit.

I'm traveling in some vehicle
I'm sitting in some cafe
A defector from the petty wars
That shell shock love away

There's comfort in melancholy
When there's no need to explain
It's just as natural as the weather
In this moody sky today

In our possessive coupling
So much could not be expressed
So now I'm returning to myself
These things that you and I suppressed

I see something of myself in everyone
Just at this moment of the world
As snow gathers like bolts of lace
Waltzing on a ballroom girl
-Joni Mitchell
