New Earth. I craved your wonders and instead
All that I found were endless fumigated queues,
Street traders selling moods:
Over the counter feelings for the living dead.
Kidnapped. At gunpoint. For a six year drive.
Mincemeat. Chased down by feral beasts.
Call this a fast lane? Three will be four
When our destination reached! If still alive…
Cut out the light! In darkness our safety lies
Until he comes. Can’s breathe. Grip onto life…
I do not know, but feel his presence near.
He’ll make it. Yes… Today nobody dies.

Well, I certainly realize that driving through the Central Valley up I5 to reach Tahoe can seem endless…. But it wasn’t really 6 years Vic….You can stop at Kettlemen City, and just northwest of Los Banos is Pea Soup Andersons.
Try the Pea Soup…
If you go back that way anyway… But I imagine you will fly out of SFO to go home? 😉
Ha-ha! Feeling like death today – hence my lack of posts. Got a very bad cold to take back to the UK with me. Not fun.
Umm, make sure you check with a doc before you fly…
But you know that…
Hate to think of you trapped in a plane in agony.
I’m afraid that’s unavoidable at this stage. This cold is here to stay.
We can always have customs refuse to clear you for departure. Where do you depart from? haha.
lol That would be something. I have a full house of people waiting for me when I get back. Don’t think I can afford to stay behind, otherwise I would consider it.
Well ok. Eva flew home with a cold and you might wish to ask her about that wonderful agony, hehe.
She visited Nepal from Australia a couple months ago.
Not a fun flight…
That was something…. TOTALLY fab !! I love the prose thing.
Thank you, Lala.
