Escaping the vortex
I'm on a train to San Diego.
This internet thing has come a long way since 1991, when, as I believe I mentioned in a previous posting, my internet access was a long-distance call from southern Illinois to Los Angeles on a 2400 baud modem, at 25 cents/minute. Now I have wireless internet access on a train, and most everywhere else.
It does me a lot of good to get out of Los Angeles when I can. There's some sort of magnetic vortex there that clouds my mind. I have overstayed my welcome there.
Maybe I'll venture into Mexico tomorrow.
