Today we drove from Las Vegas home. Ming drove us. We stopped in Keene and saw the Cesar Chavez museum. We looked at the Tehachapi Loop. We didn’t take pictures–sorry. I saw a tortise by the side of the road, but Ming didn’t see it. We drank slurpees and didn’t talk much. I dozed for… Read More »
This morning we demonstrated at Nellis Air Force Base. There’s me, scared out of my wits. And there’s Ming, cute as can be, the peace faster. He’s fasting one day for peace. So we sang some songs, held hands, and stood around for peace for 15 minutes. Then three guards and a cop approached us… Read More »

Then we folded and taped NDE newsletters. They’re pink. I did it for about two hours, and Ming did it for… Read More »
For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts. –Yvon Chouinard Well, we took off for Las Vegas and only made it 157 miles when BOB broke down by the side of the freeway out in the middle of nowhere. We were on the phone with AAA for 50 minutes as they tried… Read More »
1. Ming and I had a conversation about what was blocking the pipe–the kitchen sink was plugged up. I guessed a dead rat or a pot of gold. Ming guessed hair and rice. 2. Yesterday at Home Depot we used the self-check machine, and as we left I said hi to the worker who was… Read More »

I ordered a book called City of Glass about Vancouver and want to look for guidebooks at the library. Central library opens at noon. We’ll also get to meet two of my good… Read More »
