in a free state

Just finished another Naipaul book. I need to know where these are set- which country? Anyone?

And a Bend in the River I thought was Uganda until Uganda is mentioned as another country. Anyone?

Both excellent. Although I did have to wonder during this one- why am I reading this? Where does it take me? Maybe it was just the book didn't go anywhere novel (pun).

A good friend turned me onto Naipaul- he's growing on me (Naipaul, not my friend- we've known each other for over ten years).

Searching around for the country in which the book is based (a generic African country? like Gabriel Garcia Marquez's book about the dictator was based in a generic Central/South American country?), I found that I have one of the ugliest editions- the cover has some Soviet-inspired design on front, which really bums me out.

inspiration

I was feeling dull. So I went to The Village. Dull no more.

the hills

... of Jordan. Remind me of the mountains of Colorado.



the mountains

Some pretty places out there. Some nice drives. Great weather. Open skies. My favorites (no surprise to many of you) are the alpine lands (colorful but vast and open). Openness so you don't lose sight of the sky. I breath more deeply.

The drive begins...

moon shots

The moon over Manhattan. Hoboken definitely has the best view.
