So where do you get your kicks?

Once again I seem to have fallen behind in documenting my virtual trek across the country to meet up with my friends Kim and Heidi in the time of COVID . Time to catch up! First, though, I'd like to acknowledge the Native lands that I've crossed since leaving Duran, New Mexico : Jicarilla Apache [Gáuigú (Kiowa) Nʉmʉnʉʉ (Comanche) Mescalero Apache I encourage everyone to learn more about each of these Native peoples. I'll also mention that last week not only did I finally reach 500 miles trekked in my backyard ... ...but also Heidi, Kim, and I officially reached the half-way point on our virtual trek toward each other , meaning collectively we've walked and biked 1,211 miles since May 20. Yay, us! Which means we're looking at at least another 5 months and 12 days (most likely longer) before we "meet" somewhere in the middle of the country. Yay, us? While Kim and Heidi have now covered five states and are making their way across Indianapolis, I continue

While I don't expect the world to turn on a dime now that the shit show of 2020 is in the rear view mirror, I guess I do feel a sense of hope that changes -- for the better -- are coming. Perhaps incrementally, but I'll take whatever hope the new year can give to us. So back to my virtual walking journey to New York . I'm again reminded that it's a good thing I'm not a professional blogger, because it's now been almost 8 weeks since I last posted anything . When so much time passes, I feel like the places I'm "traveling" through on my journey get short shrift because there are so many to research that it becomes a matter of quantity over quality. And not only that, but a couple of momentous events have occurred since my last post, the most notable being that I finally stepped out of New Mexico into Texas on December 17 after crossing into it from Arizona on July 4.
