Early evening, I've pitched my tent in the Olympic Mountains (Wash. state).
Down there is the FS road I ascended to get here.
I'm looking across Puget Sound to the Cascade Mountains, a very different mountain range. On the horizon is Mt. Baker. A volcano – sleeping for now – she's just up the road from Mt. Saint Helens & Mt. Rainier. Back in the 1970s, I remember she spit a little bit of steam, people got very nervous, then she settled down. She's been mostly quiet ever since. However, I'm sure she watched Mt. Saint Helens lose her temper (in 1980) with great approval. It's only a matter of time before she wakes up and gets just as angry.

Interstate 94—Kennedy Expressway, Chicago, IL
Here I go again...
The best thing about that road is the train
As from my Chicago studio, I could walk 2 blocks, get on that train, get off inside ORD airport and be anywhere in the world quickly
Where I am now, I have to get in a car for 10 miles to do the same
edit, actually I can walk 3 miles to my regional and do the same
I hate cars
