From the Road...

Left Billings this morning and headed out of town for Virginia. Moving to do a Masters program at CUA (for those who don't know that already). Left Montana and won't be back until December. That's kind of strange to me.
I'm open to the adventure and change, it's just kind of difficult to leave people and things behind when i don't really know what to expect on the other end of this trip. It's kind of like stepping out of the hot comforting shower into the frigid air of your apartment. I'll acclimate, there's just an initial reluctance. Kind of already have one foot out at this point, just have to keep it going.
And thus the restart of the blog here.
I am going to make my best effort to start taking pictures of more random things and actually posting them, hopefully with some entertaining stories to go along. I know i've sung that tune before, but if people would like to nag me, i take well to peer pressure.
Guess that format really isn't going to be all that interesting to read from the general public, so i might keep changing things up. There's no formula. I'm taking pictures and experiences and hoping to babble on for the sake of someone else's entertainment.

Driving along, we passed a number of trucks towing Carnival rides. Made the observation that the Carnival rides are on the move. Migration season of the Carnies is on us. Summer is ending :)
These dragons were getting topped off at Miles City. I found it kind of amusing to see them at a gas station. The magic and fun of the carnival folded up and loaded onto the back of a truck. just kind of a strange sight.

Honestly, the whole drive today was pretty uneventful. Can't say i actually have anything interesting to impart from the trip at this point. I'll try to concoct some good lies over tomorrow's drive. Will be in Illinois Tomorrow evening
