jamaica to pottstown
today we packed up and drove to pottstown, PA. cheaper to get a hotel room (two to a bed and one on the floor) in some cracked out neighborhood than to drive north and drive back down. our host housing kicks in tomorrow, so we're set until tomorrow. we're on high street in pottstown. came from jamaica. it's been a good trip.
went for a ride in the countryside to the south of pottstown. i went out just before sunset. interesting time. the warm air was rich and sultry; a long slow sip of a fine and mellow tawny port. if the air in california is air you can kiss, this is air meant to be sipped and savored. the sun shone a deep orange through the misty air. the vegetation was lush like a tropical forest. it was a scene reminiscent of the kathmandu valley. i wound my way through fields of corn and cattle. serene cemeteries rested under the trees. small streams meandered and moseyed. old brick homes stood stoically, as they have for some centuries, quiet observers. as the sun fully set the entire misty sky glowed pumpkin orange, not a bit of crispiness in the air. these are the rides i live for. one in a hundred.
looks like i'm set to tick over about 9,000 miles during univest. how many miles you got? never felt better. i should race 'cross.
i wonder what russell is doing.
