tracking tricks

States I've visited in red....I count any state I've peed in as a state I've 'visited'. Gee, I guess I drove a lot after I graduated college. Band trips and work trips too. I liked the southwest best:
map of us

create your own visited states map
or write about it on the open travel guide.

Yesterday's trip to Dr. Woof was successful, and I got some sleeping crack. It kinda sorta made me drowsy, but I think the concerted effort to just make sure my ass was in bed by 10 or so helped too. However, I was super-groggy this morning, and slept through my NPR alarm. On the other hand, I got my sleep I guess. I am alert and productive today.

Except when I see things like this that just turn my crank the right way.

Holy shit...I know this is possible, but it still amazes me: a GPS that plays MP3s AND is a PDA! Track your tricks' global position, then call them on it when you know they're at the bathouse! We are sooo close to something akin to an actual Star Trek Tricorder. Sadly while the technology front is going hog wild, equality and civil rights are still in the dark ages. What an interesting time to be alive. I remember using a GPS in 1995. It was considered a highly sensitive and expensive piece of technology, about the size of a large coffee thermos, and just as heavy. Now you can order one the size of a pack of cigarettes online from REI for under $500. Amazing.

honey, not that I'm stalking you or anything, but didn't you go to Boston last fall? I remember a story about a hot daddy, no hotel, and being very sick...
