The idea of a clean house and ONE FUCKING DAY AT HOME where nobody demands anything of me and I don't have any deadlines or anywhere I have to be is all I want.

I can see that.

I just want a week out in the desert.  I haven't done that in FOREVER.

Sometimes getting away is necessary. I miss road trips.

I don't have to drive that far.  45 minutes, tops.

I don't, either, but I no longer trust my car enough to drive it 45 minutes outside of town, and I don't have the time to take a day or two off anyway.

Neither do I.

But I need to anyway.

What do you do in the desert for a whole week?

Froth at the mouth and talk to my dead uncle.

Well, all aside what i commented you, its interesting how some very subtle details of elections of appearance, and even in some cases consequences in appearance derived from a lifestyle, give hints as to what someone is and/or does... a type of non-verbal and very subtle communication.

I'm sure all of us have two things about us: things that people recurrently think that we are/do that we aren't, and things that people can infer correctly just from small things like posture, clothing, body complexion, etc, etc

I feel like I should explain my decision to name them all teachers (two were right, by the way).

I saw the first photo and I thought TEACHER.  Then teacher was in my head.  So I saw the second and third and I thought TEACHERS.  As I scrolled down rather than making the leap of thought to create a profession for them, I found myself rationalizing what kinds of teachers they could be.

Hmmm I can see doing that. And the odds are, if you make one broad guess at 15 people, a couple will be accurate.

I didn't use yours for that reason, but if you'd been more specific about what kind of teachers I might have.
