Day 1 of #CovidCountryVroomVroom. Made it to the edge of California. Even out in the middle of nowhere, masks abundant at the Chipotle and the Circle K and the budget motel. Listened to some cute AM country radio out of Arizona as the sun went down over the scrubby hills. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸŽ" title="Rennauto" aria-label="Emoji: Rennauto">
Tomorrow’s plan is to make it to Las Cruces, god willing I do not lay my head down anywhere in Arizona lol
This was just a half day but seeing something other than my house and neighborhood and 12 mile radius of LA is downright psychedelic right now
Here’s the map extremely subject to change #CovidCountryVroomVroom
It really looks like the desert out here
Just stopped at Eegee’s (thank you @BenLangworthy flavor of the month was Watermelon and it was PERFECT) and chatted w @mollylambert https://www.instagram.com/tv/CChBrs0JESz/?igshid=d60ahan8e2ng">https://www.instagram.com/tv/CChBrs...
Oh my god I forgot I LOST AN HOUR anyway I made it to New Mexico. It started raining as soon as I crossed the state line, very dramatic! And it looked like this
It was so hot inside my car, my AC was no match for 112 degree Arizona, i pulled over at one point in a kind of heat induced fugue state to find a cactus to take a pic of. Didn’t get any Saguaros but did find a rare Acab
I’m now watching Love It Or List at the motel looking at google maps and I have no idea where I’m going to stop tomorrow https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😨" title="Angstvolles Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Angstvolles Gesicht">
I think I’m going to Marfa https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ‘½" title="Außerirdischer" aria-label="Emoji: Außerirdischer">
Everybody is telling me to go to Prada Marfa but I think my budget is more Tiny Target https://goo.gl/maps/sQQ6Zv6Cbhi1EmWM7">https://goo.gl/maps/sQQ6...
I just paid 1.99/gallon for gas in El Paso #covidcountryvroomvroom
Funny thing about interstate driving is you weirdly keep running into the same people. There’s a minivan from Connecticut at this gas station that I’ve seen like twice already
Lonesome Crowded West indeed
Please tell me what is this
Holy shit https://twitter.com/master_bratac/status/1282444907706118146?s=20">https://twitter.com/master_br...
Dang what was supposed to be a short day turned into a long one and I hoofed it to approximately the absolute middle of Texas. Big state ya got here Texans #CovidCountryVroomVroom
This does not account for today’s detour to Marfa https://twitter.com/StaffBriefs/status/1282528375983071232?s=20">https://twitter.com/StaffBrie...
AM radio report: listened to a call in show where a 12 year old girl was asking the host (I guess an Infosec expert???) about how to not have her information stolen by TikTok
I love that there are 12 year old TikTokkers who also call in to AM radio... wherever you are kid you’ve got a friend in @nightcallpod
Oh also failed at food today but please send me San Antonio area lunch suggestions for tmrw

I went to Buc-ee’s! I get the hype and holy shit I got in and out as fast as possible, Buc-ee’s is probably a vector
Nobody, I repeat nobody, is wearing a mask in Galveston TX. Passed an urgent care on my way in that has tents set up for overflow right across the street from the beach https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ™ƒ" title="Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht">
