Crossing into the Terminal Range, Canadian Rockies. August 9.

Notions like shift and change are redefined here. Driving through the mountains, temperatures regularly swung 50 degrees over the course of a few hours. Daily and weekly rhythms, during and since the trip, have seemed both essential and completely inconsequential. We've alternated between large crowds and complete isolation so often that it's hard to say which feels more familiar.

More than anything, these new measures of change have prompted resignation, and quick acceptance. We build and consult new gauges. We haven't abandoned thermometers and calendars; rather, they're bigger. And a different color maybe.

  1. Bigger calendars and thermometers. Careful; you might turn into Flavor Flav if you at time-keeping devices to the mix.

  3. What andy said - love the blog to keep us closer to you guys.

    Not to mention that it's nice to see a blog, or any web site for that matter, that is actually written by someone who knows how... do you contribute to McSweeney's?
