I like driving. It lets me think with few distractions. There is no screen, keyboard, or much else except good company to pull me from a focused conversation, or line of thought. It can be a test of focus and stamina, though, even if it is welcomed. <\/p>\n<p>This trip was definitely a test, but I enjoyed it. I thought often about so many of the topics that I post here on this website. Food flowed in and out of my thoughts, of course, but I also had some ideas on energy, transportation and living in the desert. As always, Las Vegas depressed me, but there was also a lot of interesting sites on the road.  The next few posts (with pictures) will delve into some of my road inspired thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>This time, instead of writing extended manifestos that strain even the most committed reader, I will break things up by topic and length. I will also attempt to move my posts toward the Multi Medium Art that the title of the site implies. It&#8217;s been a long time coming, and now that I am a year out of grad school, I will start developing some discourse around all that education of mine (Remember I also have a B.S. in physics, so lets see if I can sneak some of that in here, too).<\/p>\n<p>Catch you later with some short writings and fun posts.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week my family and I drove about 1500 miles through a big chunk of the Southwest.
