Greyhound, Ugh.

I had forgotten just how badly Greyhound has planned the southbound route to San Francisco. I got on the bus in Grants Pass at 6:30PM and slept maybe an hour, arriving in Sacramento at 2:00AM.

Here comes the kicker: the bus to San Francisco leaves at 7:00AM after a 5 hour layover. Driving from Grants Pass to San Francisco takes 6 hours. Greyhound takes 15.

Sacramento is rough enough that I don't trust that my bag would still be there if I fell asleep. So now the sun is up, I'm still on Greyhound, an hour from SF, and I've only had an hour of sleep.

Thank goodness I loaded up the playlist with Harry Potter audiobooks before I left. They helped to drown out the all-night CNN onslaught in the bus station. "Michelle Obama's important new dress...One year since the Mumbai hotel bombing...Stores expect record-breaking Black Friday..." It's all so inane and meaningless to every day life. Unlike Harry Potter audiobooks. :)

I've kind of gotten hooked on audiobooks lately. After 6 months of production weaving I'm finally good enough that it doesn't require every brain cell at full attention at all times. I sometimes have a little spare space in my head so I can listen to lectures by Terence McKenna and Graham Hancock, old-time radio shows, and audiobooks. It helps me to spend more hours at the loom if my mind can travel while my body works.

I can't wait to be moved up to Wolf Creek and weaving full time without San Francisco rent to pay. Then I can pay off my debts and buy a van, lots of yarn, and some important loom parts. Things are moving now!
