Back to reality
Sep. 8th, 2010 09:08 amIt's going to take me a while to process Burning Man, but for now a quick post to let anyone who's not on FB know that I'm back in San Fransisco and alive and well.
I'm a little surprised at how little the discomforts bothered me: all the dust, no showers, sleeping in a tiny tent without a mattress, the portaloos, the heat, the cold. It helped somewhat that my entire nasal cavity was permanently full of dust, I think. I really enjoyed the dust storms, too, and had no problems with asthma the whole time I was there. (In fact, I suspect that I have stopped having asthma at all.)
Still, it's nice to be back with showers and vegetables and beds and the Internet and the potential to wash some of my clothes.
So, that's the mundane stuff. I'm not sure where to start writing about the rest of it.
