Traveling With Meteors to Minnesota

"This year, instead of seeing about 80 Perseids per hour, 

the rate could top 150 and even approach 200 meteors per hour," 

NASA meteor expert Bill Cooke.

Last Friday we went out into the local park and watched the sky streaked with Perseids. During the week as I traveled to Shakopee, Minnesota I saw more meteors nearly ever night. Even had one motel room with a near perfect view to the NorthEast.

Now I am in Minnesota for a short stopover (and a little poker) before I finish my wander to my fall destination in Michigan.

Undomiciled

What hath I wrought?

I am now officially without a home. I have no address by which the postal service can locate me. No friends shall be knocking at my door. For all practical purposes I can no longer be found.

But this is of my own choosing and not without (p)residence. I've launched myself into the void before. However, this time there is no storage locker of stuff, no place I will eventually reoccupy. Not exactly sofa-surfing, more the "do you have a spare bedroom?"

Right now, old familiar haunts in Northern California. By the end of the month I will be back in the SF Bay Area for some time before hitting the road for parts East, then further East before turning South to Florida. 

Then . . . 

Where Am I? Where Have I Been?

I began the week in Austin and today I am once again gazing out at the San Francisco Bay from what has been my domicile for the last five years. I got a little road weary at the end of my five month wander. But with a few days of recovery and local cuisine, I'll be back to the task of divesting and preparing for the next chapter in life and on paper.

Where I hath layeth my head:
Sunday January 17th -- Austin, Texas
Monday January 18th -- Fort Stockton, Texas
Tuesday January 19th -- Benson, Arizona
Wednesday January 20th -- Palm Springs, CA.
Thursday January 21st -- Berkeley, CA.
Friday January 22nd -- not in a car for any reason
