On the road in SoCal all week. I have trouble staying asleep at night sometimes. Sometimes I’ll wake up for no apparent reason and just can’t seem to settle my mind down enough to get back to sleep Tonight This morning though it’s the transients that populate so many Motel 6es nowadays. Drug addled, or batshit crazy, one of them is howling like a coyote out in the parking lot.
No problem, I’ll just grab the book I bought in Bakersfield on the way down. Yeah read a few pages and soon I’ll sink back into oblivious sleep but noooooo this trip, I bought this book.
After 116 pages I figured I might as well take a break and do some blogging. Strangely enough, the sporadic howling isn’t unnerving anymore. It’s actually kind of funny.

Middle of the night with a guy howling in the parking lot? With my luck, I would have bought Monster Hunter Alpha and been awake all night wishing I’d packed the silver bullets.
