| 06:38 | Leaving Bangor on a bright sunny morning. Next stop: Franconia, NH. |
| 13:07 | @alwayscoffee I didn't know that. I assume you're right, as I saw a sign for the Robert Frost Museum a moment ago. |
| 13:09 | Left Maine earlier. Now in Franconia, NH for the night, with Vermont some time tomorrow. Loving all the liquid sunshine. |
| 13:19 | @alwayscoffee Once again I am in total awe of your feminine geekitude. |

| 06:46 | Spent most of yesterday taking a guest on a tour of the Bay Area. Don't think she was prepared for all the roller coaster roads. |
| 10:18 | Headed east in search of something to photograph. |
| 20:45 | @VictoriaDahl Yeah, but they're really good shit. |

the scenery's pretty, with the brown hills and the green trees. I
spot a big field with a big hill behind it, and a herd of cows
standing around looking photogenic. So I wish for a place to stop,
and I find one a couple of hundred feet beyond. I park, grab my
camera and walk back up the road, hoping I'll hear any oncoming
traffic in time to get out of the way. My luck holds; no oncoming
traffic, and the cows are right where I left them.
But not for long. They're on the move, having been disturbed by a loud and clumsy photographer. I get a few pictures before a ridge gets between me and them. And then I head back to my car. I had the wrong lens for the distance, and wanted to get something longer. I swap the lens and then head back down the road a little way, figuring I could at least shoot the flora, what with the fauna having given me the slip.
Except... they hadn't. Quite the opposite, in fact. Because the
moment I looked over the barbed wire fence, I discovered where the
herd had gone. They'd gathered by the gate in the fence, just across
from my parking spot. And they were all looking at me. With
interest, or at least as much interest as a cow is capable of showing.
I wondered if they were used to someone coming to feed them, and if
I'd acted sufficiently farmerlike to fire the synapses in their little
bovine brains. But I got a few shots before they lost interest or had
another thought. Not that that was all that likely. And I never did
get a model release. Are hoof prints legally binding?

| 16:42 | Good question: Would Firefly have succeeded if it had a more traditional SF credit sequence? http://bit.ly/dDwKrd (Probably not.) |
| 16:45 | Speaking of Firefly, I'd buy this album. If I had a record player. And if it actually existed. http://bit.ly/cNZIfn |
| 19:59 | @lomara Isn't that awfully wide angle for baseball? |

| 09:30 | Lots of great photos with Jessie this morning in Knoxville. Time to move on now. Charleston, West Virginia tonight. |
| 09:35 | Really annoyed at all the Mother's Day offers I'm getting. The Internets know all about me; how can they not know this? |
| 10:27 | Just left Tennessee for Kentucky. That's eleven states in a week. |
| 13:58 | Just crossed into West Virginia, my 47th state and number twelve for this trip. |
| 14:16 | Ugly traffic on I-64 crawling toward Charleston. |
| 15:29 | Arrived at my hotel in Charleston, WV. Now for dinner. What exactly do Charlestonians eat? |
| 17:18 | Hey, iPhone? When I type hell, I really do mean to type hell. Stop changing it to he'll. You're really pissing me off. |
| 18:50 | @MsCaliLogan MTV mean to our Cali? You want I should have them keeled? |

| 09:46 | RT @barryeisler: At CIA, they taught me Deny Everything, Admit Nothing, Make Counteraccusations. Was the Pope in my class? |

| 10:59 | Young Frankenstein is coming to San Francisco end of June. Just got my ticket. |
| 11:10 | So no multitasking for my old iPhone 3G. Good thing I planned to upgrade whenever they announce the next model. |
| 13:46 | Returned the Windows laptop I borrowed for yesterday's presentation. How long before the cooties dissipate? |
| 14:52 | Parking & boarding passes printed. Off to Vegas tomorrow afternoon. There will be photography and other entertainments. |

| 08:45 | @barryeisler That Salon piece describes a Bizarro world version of the Oscars. Hilarious? Only if you like awkward. |

| 11:45 | @ggreenwald And since Congress passed an ACORN Bill of Attainder, shouldn't they repeal it and apologize now we know the tape was enhanced? |

| 11:09 | Isn't it ironic? Snack food review site http://www.taquitos.net is covered in those asinine "how to get a flat belly" ads. |
| 12:07 | RT @FakeAPStylebook: Jurassic period: 199.6 - 145.5 million years ago, or October 24, 4004 BC, 12:17 PM - 3:44 PM for Creationists. |

| 11:24 | Believe it or not, FL has Resisting Arrest w/o Violence law that doesn't require you to be under arrest! Good for cops, not for citizens. |
| 12:33 | Moment of Zen: Calvin Trillin predicts on The Daily Show that the Shoe Bomber will be followed up by an Underwear Bomber. Three years ago! |
| 19:08 | Another little piece of my childhood is gone. Bye, Art Clokey. Thanks for Gumby & Pokey. (Not so much for Davey & Goliath.) |
