“A cricket kept me awake for some time. At night in this part of the West the stars, as I had seen them in Wyoming, are big as roman candles and as lonely as the Prince of the Dharma who’s lost his ancestral grove and journeys across the spaces between points in the handle of the Big Dipper, trying to find it again. So they slowly wheeled the night, and then long before actual sunrise the great red light appeared far over the dun bleak land toward West Kansas and the birds took up their trill above Denver.” — Jack Kerouac - On The Road Speaking of stars, driving the donk at night is like living in a rural area - when was the last time you were in a moving vehicle that doesn’t have a single interior light or illuminated indicator? It’s kind of nice to only be able to see things outside.
