Fall 2010

I love this blog because I'm pretty sure no one but me looks at it. In any case, I'm uploading pictures from my phone before I lose them. Here's what I've been up to lately. Obviously there are no pictures of awesome things, because I was having way too much fun to take a picture.

Sun Valley Golf Course
Somewhere between Sparta and Grand Rapids

Just drove by here. Way in the middle of nowhere. I like the sign though. When I drove through on my way back it looked like the trains were considering moving, but i didn't hang around to find out.


Spiral Jetty on the Great Salt Lake. Going out here was my vision of Hell. All that out by the spiral looks like water, but it's just salt. blech. My friend Scott recommended that I go out there because "it's way cool." Reality: It's not. And I drove all the way out there for that. I was so happy to get back to civilization. This may be an effect of recently returned to the US from Tokyo.


The yard and neighbor's shed in Sandpoint. I was pretending to be a good photographer, even if I was just using my phone. I still like it though.

license to drive

Who knew that getting a driver's license was so difficult? being a temporary resident of utah, i started here, was rejected because I don't have a SS card (that has since been fixed). I made a few nasty comments about the state of utah on my way out the door there. Next day, went to Ogden and applied for a SS card, drove to Paris Idaho to try to renew my Idaho license, arrived 7 minutes late to the DMV. Sigh. A few days later tried to get a license in Rupert Idaho but was unable to find the place, then the next day managed to find the DMV in Twin Falls, tbut had to leave to go to a bank (who doesn't take debit? seriously). After all this hassle, I am now legally qualified to operate a motor vehicle on public roadways. Congratulations to me! It was quite the non-adventure
