5.4.01

whee i’m posting from the denver airport’s free internet terminal…just because i can. there’s a reason these things are free, which becomes clear as soon as one tries to do anything useful on them – they suck in a big way. the keyabord is this indestructible hard rubber surface, so you have to really bang on each key, sort of like old fashioned typewriters. and the keys are all in the wrong place, which is agonizing.

left san francisco this morning andit was shaping up to be another clear sunny 80 degree day, of the sort one only gets in may and septembr in sf. landed in denver to the tune of 39 degrees and fog so thick thhe pilot described the visibility as “zero”. there’s something comfortably familiar about the people in denver – some sort of northwest mountain sensibility that is still have lurking deep in my idaho bones. there are far fewer of the scary-overly-made-up woman type that the bay area is crawling with, lots more women in levis and polar flesse vests. a very dear male friend of my recently told me that he finds nothing sexier than a good looking woman in a baseball cap. ah, it warms my heart to know that men like this still exist.

i’m actaully getting elbow strain from pounding on ths keyboard.
