so after having lived half my life in Asia and now in the US i get the reverse - a deep nostalgia for the grit and grime of Beijing, the hustle and wrustle of overcrowed Tokyo, the hot and humid languor of Taipei. Ah, those were the good ole funky days ....

hehe. Aren't we humans funny? We don't notice it when we are in it. Then it becomes poignant when we are gone. Some famous writer said that the best writing about a place, happens after you leave it.

I haven't been in Arizona in a couple of years and do miss it. Everything is so rough and beautiful there. I could only be a visitor, but I do enjoy those visits.

"But all you have to do is stop your truck and stand on the side of an empty road, just for a minute or so, to let the world settle around you, and you'll know that this is a silence chock full of sound."
That was so beautifully written.

Your descriptions are so vivid, from the British ex-husband with his Western garb and to the sights and sounds of the American West, that I'm not sure I need to see the video! The dust, the hawk sounding like someone puking at 3 a.m. in a dingy honky tonk: great.
I find that I am nostalgic for almost every place that I ever lived, no matter how bleak. Well, I take that back: I'm not actually nostalgic for Champaign, Illinois ... (came up with a good typo word: notstalgic, the opposite of nostalgia).

Well, a good post, as always, but I am tickled to have found this singer - I love her! Thanks - and L., Happy Holidays, huh?

great vid. Takes me back to North Dakota in the early fall. Thank you! Any minute I expect to see Clint Eastwood and the Dalton Gang on the horizon hunched over their saddles in those leather dusters. As i reach for my rifle....
