My Life - My Travels

Don’t worry, I didn’t buy a double foam something or other. I ordered the only thing I knew on the menu. Iced Greentea.

After having to reset my Tmobile hotspot username/password since I’ve NEVER used it. I was on my way to surfing the internet super tubes.

I must say that I’m totally out of my element. In front of me sits a 20 something guy with emo hair and pants. He also has big sunglasses (indoors) and a Macbook. Ohh I also forgot to mention that he rides a scooter. Trend whore to the max. Makes me just want to punch him in the face. Then there is me. Hiking Columbia shoes with smartwool socks and worn Carhartt pants and a t-shirt. Don’t forget the evil looking tattoos. People look at me like I’m from a different planet. I love it.

California and me mix like oil and water. I love guns, they hate guns. I love my freedoms and don’t do well with sales tax. California hates freedoms and loves taxes. I must say however, the speed limits rock.   I drove over 65mph in Oregon I had to keep an eye out for the Police. Now, I just hang out in the slow lane doing 70mph while getting passed. Reminds me of the interstate in Idaho.

I am however enjoying the change of landscape. I used to be frightened by change. Feared i wasn’t going to fit in anywhere. Not know my way around and just make a mess of a lot of things.

Not that case it turns out. I suggest to anyone wanted to leave and explore the world. The first step is the hardest. Things get much easier from that point.

I’m getting ready to go on a little trip to Colorado and I thought it’d be neat to send home a postcard from myself. To do that I needed postage. I needed special postage. Postcard postage stamps. After doing some research in turns out that postcard stamps are only $0.27 for domestic postcards and $0.94 for international. Much better than the $0.42 or what ever it is for regular mail.

In my internet quest for postcard rates, I ran across this site.

postcrossing.com

This is a really unique site I think. You register and put in your physical address. Then you request an address of someone else to whom you send a postcard from you local area. Then once they get yours, one is sent to you from somewhere in the world.

In an age where email rules and regular mail is forgotten (except to ship a package). This is a nice change of pace. At only a dollar to ship an international postcard I think it might be fun to partake in this long forgotten technology of snail mail.
