Day Two Highlights: Starbucks Saves the Day


My best girlfriend back in Oakland had told me that there was a Starbucks in the Nugget Casino in Wendover, NV, so it's there we went when we got to town mid-morning, totally jonesing for some decent joe. We couldn't even find a 7-11, so were drinking this awful brew just to function. Yay for sbux. There's one here where we're staying in Rock Springs, WY, which is pretty trippy.

And all day I was just marveling at all the wide-open space, while listening over and over to the Dixie Chicks's Wide Open Spaces (and Kris K., hence the photo where he looks especially fine). And I've got to say, when I first saw the mountains in Nevada, my heart just lifted. Those things have lodged in my heart and have led me back.

I have loved Kris FOREVER!!!! He's one of the best songwriters in the world.

I totally agree, Donna. Kris rocks. Have seen him play a few times and was blown away. I think his voice keeps getting better, too.
