    When I was a kid, I wanted to know what an axle was and no one would tell me. For some reason my dumb ass didn’t think to look it up in the dictionary.

      You used to have to think to walk to a dictionary, then open it up and find the word. Took like 5 minutes, if you had the resource nearby.

      Nowadays I look up way, way more words. I google vocab all the time, probably one of my most googled categories after driving directions.

    They actually have surprisingly decent medical facilities, for being in the middle of nowhere in the Nevada desert anyway.

        Yeah, rain in the desert can get crazy sometimes. Especially when you’re camping on a giant salt flat.

          I suspect that the very high alkalinity of the salt flat will inhibit most of the problematic microbes
