Today I am headed home from a massive road trip. Dillon and I drove over 3,000 miles, from Alaska to North Dakota and Minnesota. I'll post a picture of the sexy 1982 brown truck we drove for context some time 😂. Moby Dick has been my constant companion throughout! Hopefully the plane home will be some good Dick time too.

monalyisha Pretty edition! 5y
jupebox How are you liking it? 5y
Saknicole @jupebox it is good when I'm reading it, but I think I am frustrated I just enjoy it as beautifully written and a great adventure, and then remember I am supposed to figure out what it all means 😩 5y

jupebox Good point. What page are you at? 5y
jupebox There are a few points where he makes that more clear (he‘ll get philosophical for a paragraph or two), but a lot of it, you‘re right, is about the journey. 5y
Saknicole @jupebox 108 of 419 in my edition 5y
jupebox Nice. 332 of 582 in mine. 5y
Saknicole @jupebox I have to catch up! Also let me know what you think in the end. 🐳 5y
jupebox Have Twitter? It‘s tough to find people reading this at the same time. 5y
Saknicole @jupebox yes, I do! Sorry I didn't reply. I just never use it, but I'll give it a try. I think my handle is @ curiousniffler 5y

69/419 or 16% done with my #dickjourney . Currently Dillon and I are driving through Alberta in route from AK to ND. We've already driven 2070 miles! Moby Dick is a good read for the trip because: A. I have to finish it by fall to teach it somehow, and B. Dillon has read it before and thus is entertained by my reading sections aloud dramatically! #roadtrip #Canada #antitranscendentalism #teachersoflitsy

"Thought he, it's a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

Dillon is getting the "Jumbo White" (his choice of a boat name) ready for the summer, which is the perfect background for restarting my #dickjourney , as @Kimberlone calls it. Wish me luck. I'm 12 of 136 chapters down.
