“Are you a transient?” I asked, leaning in…..laughing…..“No, no, I just moved here…” the words spilled out of his Saturday night smile.
I asked to see his driver’s license. You never know. “Hmmmmmmm….” I toyed with it for a moment, scanning the picture for tattle-tales…. “Yeah., it looks like you”….smiling at the obvious tourist, with his polished deck shoes and button down shirt. I slid the laminated ID, face down, into his hand…..and he casually tucked it into his wallet, next to the pictures of his other world. Upside down.
That was a zillion years ago.....
Peace~love, baby.
Everything in between is a roadtrip......

"The high-way is a curse, and it has a tansient charm," I said mater-of-factly.
The picture postcards stood on the counter in a stepped stile decorated with indian Bisbee Blue amulet's. It caught the tourists eye.....Jesus you have me doing it but you got the gift man. I'm just passin' through.
