I'm eating brunch at ikea to a Kelly clarkson soundtrack (?!?).
We have an Ikea?
boooookcases...
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'll have to admit at this stage that I have no idea whatsoever what Route 66 is, but a Dylan song.
Which means that someone will have to take me there when I'll come and visit you all.
OTOH, I'm DYING to go there [link] (PDF warning), but my schedule doesn't allow me to go to the whole con. Hope to catch half of the second day, though, and crossing my fingers it'll be free, too.

Hellmouth territory?
Yes.

Shir, Route 66, built in 1926, was the first highway to the west and acquired legendary status [link]
Get Your Kicks (On Route 66) - Bobby Troup, 1946
If you ever plan to motor west:
Travel my way, the highway that's the best.
Get your kicks on Route 66!
It winds from Chicago to L.A.,
More than 2,000 miles all the way,
Get your kicks on Route 66!
Now you go thru St. Looey...Joplin, Missouri!
And Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty.
You'll see Amarillo...Gallup, New Mexico.
Flagstaff, Arizona: don't forget Winona,
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino.
Won't you..get hip to this timely tip:

Get your kicks on Route 66!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Dude, your IKEA (the one in Renton, yeah?) has lattes for $1. Seriously. Premilked coffee.
It's maybe a damn good thing it's far away from me. And that I have one here finally.

Also I love deserts. Especially when you drive through them because you can see how they really do change. It's also partly why I find Joshua Tree fascinating - it is where two deserts meet.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
I just moved to Astoria (about 70 miles west of Portland) and have spent an amazing amount of time and money in Ikea in the past few weeks but have to marvel at their ability to provide basics at good prices. I've promised my daughter regular trips to Portland for her shopping trifecta - Ikea, TJs and Sonic

I don't know if it qualifies as true desert, but the high plains of Wyoming are amazing. So empty, so wide open. You can see how they acquired their mythic reputation.
