Update from the Road to Salvation:

Finally, the landscape is different. Gettin’ closer to West Texas, which I love. Still got a ways to go, though.

I just want to live without all those trees hemming me in like they do in the Southeast. Yee haw! I can breathe.

Also, I ate vegetables as an actual entree today. Cain’t lie - been eating bad but so good on the road so far.

Today the road felt like a straight line out of a dream I half-remember. No music. No talking. Just asphalt and scrub brush, like the land itself’s been boiled down to its weird, bare bones. Ah!
