Yesterday I drove out to S.’s house for our critique group meeting. The views to her house are beautiful. Despite the horrific heat that makes me feel like I’m being baked alive, this time is one of the most beautiful because it’s also one of the few times in the year when there’s big, fluffy clouds in the sky. Pair that with the desert landscape, ringed with mountains, and it really can be breath taking.
During my drive, the sun was setting and I had to pull of the road for a moment to enjoy the view.
Taken on my cell phone camera, so it's not a great picture, but still the colors!
On the way back, the odometer of my faithful Saturn turned to 100k. Honestly, this is the first time a car of mine has hit 100k (well, I’ve owned two cars, but since the first was stolen, I don’t really count that) and a part of me was worried it would just break down the moment the numbers rolled over. It worries me a little, considering that I now have a job 75 miles away and will be commuting quite a lot. I hope the Saturn will be able to take it.
Don’t worry, I didn’t take the picture while I was driving.

Oh I miss AZ sunset so much. We get no sunsets (or sunrises here). Ugggh. I hate NY.

@Rory Schmidt: If I move away from this place, I’ll miss the sunsets, too. I hope wherever I end up, there’s something to replace it. Like oceans or beautiful views of a different type.
There’s good things about NY, I’m sure. The variety of people/places, visiting a city that never sleeps…
