Dante was at in the middle of his life, when he took his journey, I have past that point in my life and I have now reached the middle of this journey in the US. Almost three months have elapsed since I lay my foot on the land of Orson Wells, Gene Roddenberry, William Burroughs, Herschell Gordon Lewis and many others.
As it is customary with this blog at the end of the month I do a review, intended for the future enjoyment and puzzlement of fellow social scientists of a compte rendu of the way in which my material belongings have evolved in the past month.
This month however, because of the cross-country drive, the entry is going to be divided into two, the journey, and the first 3 weeks in LA.
