This paragraph is very pleasant to read. "Through the sticky night, we'd somehow become an automotive anthropomorph." Love that!

Pat Daley highlighted an excerpt from 1300 Miles: A Homecoming Saga

All things considered, my spirits were running pretty high at this point, somewhere in the upper troposphere near the decedents of the storm. Bonded mentally on the original journey south west, my land cruiser and I had now merged together physically. Through the sticky night, we'd somehow become an automotive anthropomorph—some variety of nomadic cyborg road zombie. And, while I wasn't looking forward to stopping for gas, fearing we’d lose our freeway synergy, my ass was starting to replicate the patterns of the seat cushions at this point. Baby blue pinstripes on black jeans might work in the seventies, but not the late 90’s.

Denver Omelets Are Made from People!

(I-25 to I-76)

After my worthy adversary gave me the slip, dissipating into the dryer plains air on the left side of the Rockies, I emerged from the treacherous mountain roads not far from Colorado’s capital city and famed Mile High city. The area around Denver is mostly suburban—of relatively low visual stimulus unless you’re an ardent admirer of strip malls and/or clonedominiums. Of course, suburban life means business, and by business. . .
