Happy birthday SC, hope you have a great day..

Did you know that Wyoming is basically where the Wild West moved to when the actual full West didn't want it anymore? That's what I learned as we were driving through there on this leg from Utah to Nebraska. One sign at a rest stop listed it as the state with the most untamed wild land.

Thankfully, being on the road didn't stop me from getting some gifts from my family. Off the top of my head:

• Pac-Pix (DS)
  
• Kingdom Hearts (PS2)
  
• a DVD of 200 classic public-domain cartoons
  
• a Peanuts comic book from the Emerald City ComiCom (we were in Washington state last week)
  
• Complete Peanuts 1975-78 (skips a set from the previous collection at home, but eh, it's till a pair of $20 books)
  
• a "hobo code" bandana (which we picked up in Wyoming)
  
• Star Flux card game
  
• Chrononauts card game expansion "Lost Identities"

You were in Utah? Did you drive straight through or did you stop somewhere?

We stopped in Salt Lake City to visit my mother's childhood friend. Spent a little more than a day there. Left today.

If you came through Salt Lake City, you most likely drove past the town I live in. Shame you're with your family, we probably could of hung out for a moment eh?

Perhaps, though I have no idea where Layton is relative to Salt Like City (or if the I-80, the highway we took, even went through it), we were more or less behind schedule as it is, and the only time I've met an online friend IRL was one I've known well for a few years and even then it was at an open-air mall than either one of our homes. So overall it probably wouldn't have worked out even if I had visiting you in mind when my parents were planning the trip.

Well I think I've just had the best birthday present of all.
