Yesterday in (brief) review

Gonna make this quick...here are some initial thoughts after visiting the Desert Dispatch:

1. The newspaper is smaller than I'd like, but it has a lot of potential.
2. Barstow is more of a community than I imagined - I was thinking it'd be a glorified truck stop.
3. The desert is sort of cool. Sort of.
4. I broke my red meat fast. They have In-N-Out in Barstow (I'm not about to be a prisoner of my own rules).
5. There's awesome shopping in Barstow, since it's a mid-desert tourist stop and all.
6. I have lots to think about now. They want an answer by Friday latest.
7. Get out and vote today!

it's great to hear that barstow is much more than you thought it would be. i looked up the distances between the your two choices and boulder and although jamestown is closer, they're both a lot closer than atlanta, so i'm okay with both. heh. have a safe trip and good luck on your decision!

@ jane: Every mile counts! I just checked the weather for Jamestown and it's suppose to be 28 degrees (high) and snowing on one of the days I'm there. Yowee.

@ enoch: Dude, I totally would have brought you back a burger (and fries, though they'd be soggy) if you'd asked...

@ heej: Yes, thankfully it was much more than that.
