My whole life I’ve felt this deep sense of not belonging anywhere. My family came from all over the country, and from other countries and most of them put down only 1-2 generations of roots in any given place. I’ve always been jealous of people who have a sense of deep connection and roots with a place, or a community. Add to that I never fit in anywhere, I’ve never met another person exactly like me, I always annoyed everyone (still do- people constantly to this day hate my voice, face, think I have a weird “persona”), never had close friends in school. There are places that mean a lot to me but I’ve never felt like I’ve meant much to any place. But out on the road, even though that sense of moving through a landscape I don’t belong to is only intensified, I feel the most at home. I didn’t mean for it to happen, but I feel the most like myself when I’m wandering, floating, drifting. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but I feel like so far, this is the closest I’ve felt to belonging to anywhere. The little strips of tarmac that stretch over the horizon. Anywhere, nowhere. Everywhere. I leave a little piece of myself everywhere and I take a little piece of everywhere and everyone with me. My home is with my loved ones, I grew up next to a fantasy park that belongs to no one and even my neighborhood was ephemeral, more fantasy than tangible reality. It’s a strange life but it’s mine. Maybe one day I’ll find some *place* that feels like home, but until then I’ll always feel like a visitor, a wanderer, and everywhere will feel like Randomland. I don’t know if any of that makes sense. It’s just a feeling, it’s always there. Hard to capture in words.

Of course I had to take the boy to stand on the corner! Growing up, I wasn’t an Eagles fan, but I certainly knew the entire song. It’s weird the kids growing up now Don’t all know the same things as their parents the way we did. Too many TV shows and channels and streaming services and social media outlets….. the common cultures a little shattered !

Obviously I’m super passionate about helping all the businesses and towns I can along Route 66 – they often ask me to stop by or want to show me things to help spread the word – but I can’t do it without your help. It’s not me they need; it’s you! If you can share the Route 66 videos on different platforms, forums, or just with two friends you think would enjoy it it doesn’t just help me, it helps all these places to share their stories, their services, their history, etc. Route 66 seems like this big thing, but it’s a small community of people stretched out across 2200 miles of Americas backroads – and every little bit helps preserve something for the next generation to discover. Whether it’s the old motels, mom and pop businesses, hometown attractions, African America history like at the threatt station today, or Native American crafts and artwork, every traveler on Route 66 matters, and every friend of Route 66 is a friend of mine ❤️
