Tim: Tucumcari, New Mexico

Hello from Mountain Time. I have photographic evidence that there are many cows in Oklahoma. Also at that link: photos from the Clinton library!

I picked up an audiobook copy of Giving at the Clinton museum store (more on the store in a coming post) and Sondy and I listened to it in the car today. I wasn’t really what I was expecting — it’s v. much an inspired laundry list of ways to do good things in the world, and of people who are doing good things. Useful and practical, certainly, but not a ton of insight into Clinton’s life, presidency, or plans. A good listen, though, and it’ll have me thinking about giving for a while now.

Tonight, we’re in New Mexico.  The motel feels very Edward Hopper. That is all. Good-night!

Tim: Hello from Memphis!

Good morning from Memphis, Tennessee! I’m road-trippin’ it across the country to Las Vegas, NV, which is where observant Planet Olin readers will have noticed that I’m going to be working for the Hillary Clinton campaign from now through January. More on this later, probably.

It turns out that Virginia is a bigger state than I thought it was, particularly when you’re heading out the very southwest corner of it. It’s been a good drive so far; the scenery was all very pretty but nothing surprising. Tennessee is sort of like an east-west New Jersey, in that it is long and in my way.

Today’s plan: cross the Mississippi and crash the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock en route to Amarillo, TX. It promises to be an exciting day! Pictures tonight.
