I am losing my will to believe that it rains in America.

Anyway, today I slept in and then napped, and seem thereby to have at least partially dispelled the brain malaise that had been lingering since Vegas. (Too much cigarette smoke and alcohol fumes for my brain, apparently.)

After that we went and collected the hire car that will be driving me for the next week, and [personal profile] velithya as well for the week after that, around northwestern USA and a small part of Canada. We got a pretty-much-free upgrade to an SUV, which will be handy if the roads are a bit frosty or something.

We went to Best Buy, where I acquired a Samsung Galaxy, then we went to a little vintage-y shop and [personal profile] velithya bought a couple of sewing patterns and I bought a 1941 issue of Life magazine, then we came back to [personal profile] olivermoss's house and had an Authentic Cultural Experience, e.g. we did some pumpkin carving.

It is fun, although cleaning out the pumpkins is also gross.

Tomorrow, [personal profile] velithya is abandoning me to go to Pittsburgh, and I am heading out to explore and maybe visit some national parks, since they're opening again.
