Oh the irony...

I ran out of gas. Serves me right for having that "I have a hybrid ergo why should I fill up" type of hubris.

At least I can laugh at myself.

And I survived being stranded in the middle of nowhere Arizona. All thanks to the mighty iPhone! Love Google! Love it! Saved me today.

And I have decided that one of the purest joys in life is driving a car listening to a mixtape with no song titles. The element of surprise is rare in life today.

I would be a poor blogger if I didn't point out that as I coasted into this little Route 66 town, I spied with my little eye a Jedediah Springfield like statue! This entire town is a cartoon. When I checked into my hotel, I was informed by the clerk that there are nightly gunfights here. I find this very comical. He did not.

uh, perhaps you should have filled up at that middle in the desert gas station? :) Love you! Glad you are back on the road and doing good!!! I love reading your stories - I'm super jealous of your trip!
