education is liberating. knowledge is freedom.

life on earth 550 million years ago was like shelled slugs in the sea, so like what was the point of an individual life back then - that could've been me - we're equals; like relax, what's all the pressure on you a single man - lookit this mollusk and see that your existences are equally meaningful. don't expect too much of yourself - even this simple life has or lacks significance as much as your own.

i'd forgotten how quiet and peaceful nighttime can be. out in these rural walmarts, i can relax in my backseat without ducking headlights that pass by and suspect car doors slamming or voices close by of coming to oust me. my windshield faces an expansive open space that makes my mobile house feel as roomy as all outdoors.  I wake up to pristine quiet. two cars have parked to either side of me in the morning and I did not even notice.

Took a detour to Riverton, WY while heading to Yellowstone, because there is nothing, nothing off the highway 287 from Rawlins, WY to Dubois, WY on the direct route.

scary and super creepy after hours

Got a rest in the Central Wyoming College library. Feasted at a KFC buffet in town. And slipped into the gym locker room for a free shower to boot! Not a bad stopover!
