Open the floodgates – the kids are back.

Flagstaff went from a quiet slow moving town to a giant traffic jam in one day.

NAU has officially begun classes. The wind picked up and it was a little chilly, too. Autumn is coming.

Everyone is busy, busy, busy.

The vibe in town today was slightly hostile – I sensed road rage.

The sign seems out of place – all bright and flashing on a faded, dusty side street – but I honestly wouldn’t have known that a restaurant was even there had I not been there once.

Once.

On my way to my place in Phoenix tonight.

First dinner (at home – wait, it’s not home, but it’s home), then, the road.
