Got a late start, but ended up inexplicably in Salt Lake City. Taking things a bit easier tomorrow, we’ll see where we go from there.

Couple of thoughts for the evening:

• This country is empty! I always forget that until I take a long roadtrip. No one seems to live in the interior, we’re all bunched up on the coasts.
• Bugs! Yes, on the coast we have ants, spiders, and bees. But we don’t have the mass attacks of moth-like insects on windshields that exist out here. Again, how could I forget that?
• Saw deer, a juvenile coyote (almost ran him down at 75mph), and a HUGE jack rabbit today. Numerous carcasses of roadkill too.
• Infrastructure. Ours is crumbling. The roads are absolutely horrible. Though we do seem to have invested in law enforcement. I counted 18 different troopers today…..with all that ticket revenue we ought to fix the roads.
• One good idea today on location-based services.

That’s it for now. More tomorrow after some rest. I’m zonked out.
