omnium gatherum, n. : a collection of many different, often unsorted, ideas or items.

Thoughts while driving around an outlet shopping center in Texas


America, as it stands right now, is a monoculture.

(Think re: Pollan and also contemporary immigration debates.) Hm. Will flesh this out soon, hopefully tomorrow (by the time this has gotten published, it will be Tuesday.) I'm trying to make tomorrow my down time day.

I've got a long entry, 2/3 of the way done, on my trip to Mexico this weekend, as well as other various musings on my time in both New Orleans and Austin. Coming soon, prometo.

This is being published (its first incarnation, at least) from Alpine, Texas -- a fantastic town. I think I'm going to stay here two nights, that's how much I like it.

(Of course, none of this is going on the proper site, ie the roadtrip site, but honestly, it's so kitschy I can't bring myself to write on it. I should just take it down.) Anyway.

Hm.
