Got some more LOR stuff today: a better tent, stakes, a shade for my car. Also had an interview with a writer from the East Valley Tribune, so if you're in the Phoenix area, it should run either Thursday or next Tuesday. It was a really amazing feeling being interviewed. Talking about it all made it feel very real, which is good for matters like these.

My Gramma called to check on me, and I see a chiropractor tomorrow about my back and another doctor Friday about my general health. So I will be a healthy J. for the trip. Still a little worried about the money, but fuck it, I want to do this and expect to start right on schedule or at the worst, a week late.

In a few weeks, I can't wait, expect pics from the road and updates from all over. I'll post where I am in the News section. When I get to an area close to you, write to tell me what I should see. For reals. Later ya'll.
