Somewhere outside Amarillo.. Nice driving.. Texas is very aesthetically pleasing. Very "bad ass"..

I'm about to enter into Texas.

Nothing to report.. Really, nothing. Not a god damned thing. I'm bored as hell.

Just for kicks, here is a list of essids spotted between Nashville and here:

Nashville was a nice break.. Good seeing Dagmar, and I _really_ needed all that coffee. :)

Somewhere in Arkansas right now. Stopping to burn some new CDs, gas up, and stuff my face with some truckstop hotdogs..

Bongo Java, Nashville, Tennessee.. Home of the nun-bun.

They have Wifi here now! And its free!

I will be meeting up with Dagmar shortly..

Bongo Java Coffee House

I'm blogging from somewhere around Wytheville, VA thanks to FlyingJ's new Wifi service. I have a power inverter, so I've just been leaving my laptop on running MacStumbler. Its a great way to catch truck stops with net access.. You get about as much notice as with a really tall sign.

$1 for 15 min, $1.95 for an hour, $4.95 a day, etc.. Not too bad.

Making lousy time.. After I was about an hour away from where I was staying in Jersey, I had to turn around because I realized I forgot my glasses.. Couldn't find my tape adapter either, no mp3s in car.. Doh!

Flying J Travel Plazas, now with Wifi

I'm leaving Jersey in a few hours. I should be hitting Cali sometime around next weekend.

I still have not decided what I'm going to see on the way out.. I'll figure it all out on the fly.

] This amazing image is included in the standard US

] vitality and a booming economy; North Korea is dark."

I've been looking for a good link to meme this image for awhile. It's a satellite view of the night-time landscape in eastern Asia, including Japan on the right, and the Chinese coast on the left. In the middle is the Korean peninsula. What's remarkable is to see how lit up the southern part of the peninsula is, and how completely dark that the North Korea part of the peninsula is. It's a dramatic indicator of the differing economic and technological levels between North and South.

Explore North Korea. See the communist murals and the "extras" that hang around when visitors are present. Listen to North Korean muisc. Check out the fallout shelter. Wonder at the futility of it all...

HootersAir. Damn.. Why?

I could take them to Interz0ne for $189 according to their page. ... I don't think so.

[U: "The same great Flight Crews plus two Hooters Girls provided by Hooters of America Restaurants." No. Not good enough. They need to be flying the plane, working the ground crew, and the ticket counter. Then I'll fly them. ]
