Yesterday I got to drive the van with the trailer attached for the first time. It's quite a responsibility. The hardest part is backing up and navigating in tight spaces. But the scariest part is passing the cyclists on the road, because of course the consequences are so dire.
One of the things that I love about the road is the simplicity of things, especially in the mornings. You think of a task, you complete that task. When you complete enough tasks, you're ready to go. Then, when you're done with that, you start all over again. There's room for philosophical contemplation in between, but the tasks of daily life are fairly easy to understand and relatively easy to complete. That's a stark contrast to normal life.
And, once again, the Tillamook factory makes amazing cheese curds and ice cream.
