\nSomewhere in America<\/p>\n
Overheard in a small rural gas station in Nebraska<\/p>\n
Attendant as I pay $50.00 for a half tank of diesel:
\nHave fun (as he looks out at the airstream and the bike)<\/p>\n
Me: can\u2019t have too much fun when \u00bd a tank of diesel costs 50.00 bucks<\/p>\n
On looker: at least beers still cheep<\/p>\n
Attendant: yep but we\u2019d really be screwed if Bush owner the breweries<\/p>\n
Heading to Omaha to get the printing done then over to Minnesota to look at the bus a bit more then north and west hopefully back into the trip.<\/p>\n
Been thinking lately that this all is the trip. I\u2019d like it to be this idyllic slow paced, nothing goes wrong journey through out america with perfect light and perfect subjects around every corner. I\u2019d also like the perfect vehicle that during the day could grow real small and fit between the lines when I want to pull off and photograph. But at night it would grow into this great and magical work\/living space with everything in it\u2019s place and ready for me to go to work. I\u2019m beginning to think I won\u2019t find it. But then I\u2019d also like to have the same recognition in America that I got in Poland.<\/p>\n
This discontent with the space issue had begun to interfere with the purpose of the trip and it needs to be put back into perspective. Just started re reading Walden to try and regain some insights into that search for simplicity that started this whole journey. After all wanting – needing more space is what started all the problems to begin with.<\/p>\n
Real or Imagined disadvantages to the Airstream
\n1.\tneed more room to print and run film so I do not take over the entire space
\n2.\tneed grey water holding tank
\n3.\tneed generator to make electricity when we boondock
\n4.\tsecurity would be much greater when I leave the bus in out of the way places.
\nAnd at the present time I do not leave the trailer if I do not feel it is totally secure which interferes with image making. It is way too easy to break into or just hook up a pickup to it and drive it away. Ain\u2019t paranoia a powerful thing.
\n5.\tEasier to deal with the bus as a one unit deal- you live and drive in the same
\nvehicle which allows you access and the ability to monitor your living space as you drive down the road. As in \u201cHoney please get me a cup of coffee\u201d. Or \u201cdamn, did that bump just knock all the shelves open and is everything starting to fall out?!\u201d.<\/p>\n
A flash from Poland
\nShirt look familiar? Yep, it’s just like mine. While in Poland Andrzej took a liken to mine so we sent him one and he set us a photo of him wearing it.<\/p>\n
