I could certainly use some New Mexico right now. Somewhere with empty space and endless sunshine and mountains in the distance to stop a chap falling off the world.
I can almost taste the huevos rancheros I breakfasted on in Las Cruces.
A man's not a man without a pickup truck that can carry a Volvo, and a pocketknife the size of a sword, and a rack full of shotguns and heat-dazed dogs and dried meat products.
I think I should drive to California next time, instead of flying.
That's in New Mexico, not Fishponds. There, a pocket knife must be no bigger than your nose, else the Blunkett will catch you and thrash you with his many databases.
I see Spyderco are making a non-locking Dragonfly-alike specially for the UK market, which must be some kind of Home Secretary tribute knife. What do you know of CPM S30V ?
Road Trip Fever is certainly in the air. We should watch Vanishing Point a couple of extra times, and then maybe Bullitt.
Yes, of course. It's far too much driving to undertake alone. And who would navigate me back to White Sands and the missile garden with such certainty ?
Not so much 'A savage journey to the heart of the American dream', more 'A rather pleasant and Ballardian random potter across test sites, rocket ranges and aircraft graveyards'
