Vacation

Pretty Not Good is on vacation for a few.
Your search for the coolness ends here.
I know, you are looking around on-line, searching for some cool thing to make your time on the old interweb seen useful.
So often, Pretty Not Good delivers on those expectations.
If there were a picture of interweb cool, on Wikipedia, it would have been lifted from here.

I will be road tripping to the canyonland.
There are few parts of this country that make me feel so welcome.
So at ease.
Stretches of land where people are mere markers of time and space, within the landscape.
People like 49er's, outlaws and carpet baggers.
People like Jesse James (the gunslinger not the new version) and Edward Abbey created reality.
The land that demands that people fight and live to make a mark.
The land which is the sod our great American dreams sprouted in.
Fallow land, today...

But it is a landscape one of beautiful brutality to this day.

A land that demands the best of men and brings out the worst.
The land that McCain falls back to, to consider the hat which he was just handed.
A place where hippies look for the vortex of metaphysical enlightenment.
The dirt of bullshit and dreams.

America.

So, I am going to go see some of it.
Some I have seen before.
Some that has not exposed itself to me, yet.


Vacation.

Road trip.

Expect phone photos...
