Off to Death Valley

nobody@vox.com(djchall) — Sat, 24 Mar 2007 12:01:52 -0700

I'm currently in Ridgecrest, CA, a fairly non-descript California desert city, though a bit more prosperous than some, perhaps because of the China Lake Naval Air Station, which is right next door (though not very active, since I haven't heard any planes since I got here.) Why does the Navy need a base two hundred miles from any substansial body of water? Because the US military is set up with multiply redundant air power, so that each branch of the military has their own air units.

But that's not important right now. What is important is that I'm about to leave for Death Valley, where there will be no internet, and thus no Vox for three and a half whole days! There will, however, be abundant scenic beauty and good times with my dad and half-brother Jonathan. I'm bringing my camera, so I will be taking pictures, which will eventually end up on Vox, though not in real time.

Vox Hunt: Weekend Results

Show us something you did, made, saw or bought this past weekend.

I did a lot of music organizing this weekend, since my collection was in danger of spinning completely out of control as a result of all the CD ripping and re-ripping I've been doing (resulting from my getting my CDs out of storage a few weeks ago) and the huge mass of music I acquired from Greeness last weekend.

Last night I created a playlist for my trip to Death Valley, which you can see part of here:
