White Kid in SUV with Veteran Plates Chapter 1: One Good Thing That Happened During Each of My First Nine Days on the Road Fri-1: Finally saw Lake Tahoe, thereby filling in the last space on my Native Californian card (good for a free frozen yogurt at any tanning salon, I hear). Sat-2: Discovered that when your car starts to slip on ice on the highway, steering into the skid does help you regain control, sort of. I executed a complete 360 and came to a halt between two cars parked on either side of the road. Sun-3: Had lovely lunch with long-lost cousins in Boulder. Paid for by kind aunt. Mon-4: Hey! Nebraska is kind of pretty! (And its university is easy to sneak into for the purpose of checking email.) Tue-5: Spent Election Day in the only state with a viable four-party system--Minnesota. Wed-6: Discovered roots in Iowa while visiting mother's family. Des Moines has been radio stations than SF. Thu-7: Spent time with three great friends in two highly-contrastive cities. Despite all fears, car not broken into. Fri-8: Due to abject begging, the counterperson at Motel 6 cancelled someone else's reservation, allowing me to have the last non-smoking room at at $10 discount. Sat-9: Got much-needed exercise from hiking around Ann Arbor and dancing ass off in gay Indian club ("with mind-blowing Hindi and Punjabi music"!) in Toronto. More to come!
