Yesterday and today we drove down to Knoxville to visit JW’s family. Except for graduation, a journey composed entirely of familiar people and places, I hadn’t left New York since I landed in January. I didn’t even realize that that’d happened until I was looking out the window at Perkins at the interstate. Holy crap - this place just goes on forever and ever.
I took these two pictures in Virginia, where we stopped for a meal that was less like dinner and more like when Pac Man eats a cherry while zooming around in his maze. I haven’t seen anything like this in so long - I forgot how wide things can be, how huge the freeways are and how much space there is between everything.
This was this morning, coming into Knoxville, where we were greeted as always by the fabulous Sun Sphere. It is always much rounder than I remember, and sort of squat. I love it.
I take it the title of this post is the Talking Heads song?
