right now, i'm in some safeway in novato california staring at some colgate thats on sale for 3.49 (normal cost 4.49)


so here's whats going on
monday
I left spokane around 11, originally heading west towards seattle, until i decided to veer southwest towards the columbia river. overall it was a pretty uneventful day. I did hike for a while at this place called Frenchman Coulee. You should google it. My first hike was along this lake. The second one was on top of this plateau that forms a bunch of interconnected paths to hike on. Anyways, right now I don't feel very inspired to translate the awesomeness of this place into words but... blah blah blah it was really picturesque and blah blah blah you really had to be there and blah blah blah on either sides of the plateau were 100 foot cliffs and blah blah blah god bless america.
so after that i went and got some chinese food at the dalles oregon and then slept in my car for the first time ever. 
hokay.
veering slightly off topic, on my last day in spokane, mike and i were talking about all the little moments that get lost, whether because you're alone or because they are so fleeting that they appear unworthy of sharing or become forgotten.
here are some of those moments.
A semi truck merging into my lane without being clear of my subaru. i thought that he was merging out of necessity but upon finding out that he had the option to wait and make a safe lane change, my empathy instantly turned to outrage and as a result, an appropriate response was given. which only i heard.
crying at radioheads"pyramid song."
listening to censored colors by portugal. the man and driving continuously throughout all of it, except for stopping to take a piss when intermission came on. it was unplanned. which is why im fucking writing about it. (that one is for the haters)
getting a ticket for going 99 in a 75 mph zone in between bozeman and missoula. the cop was really friendly.
passing 3 semi trucks in one go on a 2 lane road. stopping to pull over and take a piss on the side of the road and getting passed by all three again.

  1. Little moment: I was on a bike ride and rode by a couple horses chilling, eating grass, and I yelled a profanity at them and one of them looked up, like a chump.
