Needles, Ca.This is an impromptu trip. I was originally going to fly to Mexico City, hang out with a friend, and then the two of us were going to drive down to Central America. After about a month, I would fly back to Las Vegas and visit my parents in Goffs and Needles, California ( Read more... )

It's a beautiful book, that is an amazing passage, and you have impeccable taste.

cute family. how far is Mom's house from the river? I wouldn't mind the desert too much if I lived close to a river.

Too far to walk. Maybe 2 miles away. I know that's close, but it's already hot here.

It's pretty cool that you took the opportunity to go home. I'll bet your mom was thrilled, man.

She's pretty happy. Not much of a family guy, but this is pretty nice. Just put up some demolition derby picks from the other day. It was a blast.

Holy crap, Needles sure has grown since I was last there. That was probably twenty years ago.

uberdionysus April 14 2009, 01:24:51 UTC

It's gotten smaller. From around 6,000 20 years ago to about 4,000 now. That Sam's Club is in Bullhead City, which is growing.

I take that back. Just checked the stats. We've been hovering around 5,000 since the 60s.

But you have a Sam's Club. And Big giant buildings. Those weren't there before. Tourism?
