A place for things I found…
Nerd Tour 2003 begins at 10:00 AM EDT Monday morning! Final systems checks were made, the vehicle condition is nominal, final loading will begin at approximately 9:00 AM. Pilot is in varying stages of excitement and anxiety, and is preparing for sleep. Web page was updated with map showing first leg of the route, DC to Denver.
More to follow!
What is Nerd Tour 2003? It’s my doofy name for the cross-country road trip I’m taking over the next 4 weeks.
Why a road trip? Two reasons: One, it’s kind of the American thing to do, to take to the road, following the sunset; and Two, it’s unAmerican the way people are treated by the “security” staff at US airports, so this is my personal thumb in the eye of government officials who want to assume I’m a criminal and insist on treating me that way.
I’m planning to use this journal to let people who are interested (all 5 of you! 🙂 know where I am and what I’m doing, updating it every evening when I stop for the night, AOL willing and the phones work right. There may be pictures as well, occasionally. We’ll have to see how it works out.
