October 5: Going to Town is Boring When You're Trying to Save Every Penny

Thursday, October 5, 2006

​I went to town for the first time since I got here. I really didn’t want to go, but the drive was pretty and lifted my spirits. 

I got an oil change and full-service check on the car, so I feel ready for winter. I went to the post office. I spent $70 at K-Mart, but I didn’t find jeans. I wasn’t really in the mood for shopping, so walking around downtown to find presents was fruitless. 

I saw many bison. They’re so big and have sharp horns. How can people not see that they are dangerous? 

On the way home, I made several stops to take pictures. 

The road is smoother in the morning than in the afternoon. Gravel feels more slippery than dirt.
