On My Way to School Today
I always zoned out on bus rides to and from school
On my way to school today,
I fell into a rabbit's hole.
Tumbling from the world above,
I landed hard in Oz.
Following the Yellow Brick Road,
I ended up in Narnia.
Crashing through the wooden doors,
I found myself in Asgard.
Walking along the Rainbow Bridge,
I wound up in the T.A.R.D.I.S.
Traveling through the Time-Vortex,
I appeared on Mount Olympus.
Riding down the elevator,
I woke up in my bed.
Sitting up in a daze,
I'm on my way to school today.

Can You Drive a Ford Fiesta Through a Desert?
I’m flying down the B1 highway from Windhoek to Keetmanshoop with a map and a boot full of camping gear. I’m excited for the first stop of my Namibian road trip: the Quiver Tree Forest. I spot the sign and turn onto the C17, off the tarmac and onto the gravel. I’ll be there soon; it’s only ten miles or so. I am unprepared for what comes next. The car slides and slips across the road. I am not fully in control anymore. I slow to a crawl. The car judders and shudders, the noise deafening, the vibrations rattling the teeth in my skull. It takes me around an hour to drive the ten miles. I arrive at the campsite relieved to be in one piece, even if it feels like all my bones have been shaken slightly out of place. I will later learn that this is what happens when the gravel road becomes “corrugated”, and that the roads authority goes round once a week to “grade” them. Seems I arrived about 6 days after the grader had last been round.
