Return to Nashville

And now as I write this I'm in a suburb of Nashville, in a Starbucks next to the only REI in Tennessee, where I just bought a new tent. I really like my ultralight double rainbow, but I finally realized that while traveling by car, I might as well get a decent car tent. So I just splurged four hundred and fifty bucks on a REI Kingdom 6 tent. Plenty of room for the metal cot that I bought in Austin, and which I used on the beach when I was in Corpus Christi.

It's very uncanny to be back in Nashville. The last time I was here was in twenty four years ago during a cross country road trip with a friend of mine. We were in a car accident here and I barely escaped with my life.

I'm going to try to get out alive this time.
