Boulder, CO

Got in and almost settled in Boulder. To give an idea of how thing's are going, we got a great wireless signal from out apartment. The drive here was very tough. Going through the mountains with snow, icy roads, and a Uhaul with no wiper fluid, which, when driving on snowy, slushy roads, your window gets dirty quickly and at a lot of points there, the window wasn't wet enough to do anything but smear all over the windshield. I had to keep stopping of at gas stations to wash the window. Sometimes, it got so bad that I had to stop on the side of the road to use the snow to wash it, with the hopes that we wouldn't get stuck in an ice patch and not be able to pull back out, being that we were on an incline in a heavy Uhaul.

Aside from that, and the "gas next exit" signs that when you exit you see a sign saying, "Gas 10 miles <--." Thanks! Why don't I keep driving to the next one. The worst one was 25 miles. Serious.

Our roommate is super awesome. He works at the Co-op and is super chill. Got me some good beer last night and we had whiskey shots. He's planning on being an organic farmer and he's vegetarian and, pretty much, like the anarchist kids in Omaha, sans the very militant, pointless activism they did. He reminds me of Dilley and Drew.

Boulder is also flat ground and pretty nice in the part we've seen so far. There's a hip area that we haven't been to yet, but plan on. We also do not need a car! Our roommate works at the Co-op, which I've said, but I didn't mention that he said we don't have to worry about produce because he gets a lot. We can just ask him if we want something. All organic, too.

Let you know more later about the trip, in detail, and how everything's going on.

Peace

I remember having a pointless conversation with one of those anarchist kids once and he said he wanted to chain himself to a bank door. I thought, what fucking good will that do? It won't make anyone think about anything except how dumb he is and it won't change anything. Anyway, glad you both are well in Colorado.
