Up Above

"I always knew I loved the sky,
the way it seems solid and insubstantial at the same time;
the way it disappears above us
even as we pursue it in a climbing plane,
like wishes or answers to certain questions—always out of reach;
the way it embodies blue,
even when it is gray."

-Linda Pastan

Winnemucca, Nevada

I was totin' my pack along the long dusty Winnemucca road, When along came a semi with a high an' canvas-covered load. "If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride." And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside. He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand. And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land!"
-Johnny Cash

The Shoe Guy

"He chronicles the adventures of runners and the shoes they love with a mixture of humor and sarcasm, while throwing in the occasional tidbit of solid information about how running shoes actually work. He owns and manages Fleet Feet Sports, a running specialty store in Davis, California, which is the source of much of his running shoe lore." -Running Times bio of J.D. Denton, whom we saw at Fleet Feet yesterday. Should have asked him for a job.
