I hate moving. I will be quite happy when it is all taken care of.
It took me three days to drive most of the way across the country. It used to take people months or more, if they made it at all (I zipped past Donner Pass at 85 mph along the way). With this Internet contraption, I can sit here in California, access files sitting in Minnesota, and communicate with someone in England in the blink of an eye.
The salt flats ended abruptly as I left Utah for Nevada. As I entered California from Nevada, the desert was replaced by rugged hills, tall conifers, and among the most beautiful views in the world. No salt and beauty for Nevada.
