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,
Logs and hay on big rig trucks, -
California in modernity.
But now in the information age, Internetity, I wait for coverage,
Without IT driving through southeastern
Oregon, at this time in history,
And connect 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 the morning light.
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,
And Bog Hot Springs near Denio NV -
to begin my second book,
With building a realustic virtual Harbin,
As comparabale ethnographic field site
Part of an interactive, movie realistic,
Buidable virtual earth.
School kids, logs and hay,
Coming into California,
Back from visiting family
In Oregon in January.
