Mile Markers

I've gotten fairly tired of most of New York.

The drive from Carol Stream, Illinois to Hanover, New Hampshire goes much of the length of New York — from Buffalo to Albany and then north, to be exact — and it turns out that much of that is quite flat and quite the same. It's not that it's necessarily boring; I've just seen it once too often. On the other hand, I haven't seen much of West Virginia recently. It's been a while since I was down in the Carolinas or Georgia either, and I've spent relatively little time west of the Appalacians.

This was all brought to mind recently when I was watching a trailer at Waverly Films' website for a short film called Naked Pictures. It's a neat trailer. It also reminded me that I've always had dreams of finding someone I wouldn't get tired of talking to, a relatively reliable car, and driving for a while. There's something awfully peaceful about driving, as long as you're not too worried about where you're going or when you get there, and you never know what you find.
