Coming into California


School kids, logs and hay,
Coming into California, -
Back from visiting family
In Oregon in January.

California on Highway 299
Puts on a show anthropologically.
School kids waiting for the bus,
the LOGGING truck follows close on,
together with, the big rig HAY truck, -

California in modernity.
But now in the information age, Internetity, 
I wait for coverage,
without IT while driving through
southeastern Oregon, at this time in history,

and connect to IT about 20 miles
from Interstate 5, haVing wanted
Internet coverage for many miles
But without, - yet the roads are all great,

and without snow. Arriving in Redding,
at the gas station, waiting to prepay, 
$2.12 per gallon, less than last year, with
gas prices coming down, Californians,

waiting in line to buy something,
are a little out there, colorful,
even a little wacky in this morning light,
socioculturally.

What is that light turquoise
station wagon from the 1950s or 60s?

Coming in on Hwy 299
I see Schoolkids, logs and hay, -
and then connect with the internet
from my smartphone ...

on my way to Harbin -
from PortlaNd and eastern Oregon
and a good family visit,
to Bog Hot Springs near Denio, NV ~


beautiful, great temperature, no one there,
good distance from the road and town,
and drove beautiful southeastern Oregon roads to get there,
and so I meditated in lotus in warm water
right in the middle of the Nevada sagebrush openness ... :) ~


to begin my second book,
with building a realistic virtual Harbin,
as comparabale ethnographic field site, and
part of an interactive, movie-realistic,
buildable virtual earth.
