We drove home from Palm Springs this morning to be with my family for Thanksgiving. It is 600 miles from Palm Springs to Salt Lake City, and I wanted to drive it in one day, knowing it would be a long haul. I have a fast new car, but I decided I would obey the speed limits–that’s hard for me to do. I had a brilliant idea; I would listen to my recordings of Winston Churchill’s speeches which I have wanted to enjoy for a long time but never could find the time. So, this was my big chance, and I have to say I had the most wonderful day: the magnificent Churchillian speeches in my ears and mind with the most spectacular desert landscapes before me: the red rock, the huge landscapes, the rugged jags, and the fabulous Joshua Trees and cactus everywhere. I thought to myself that Churchill’s powerful speeches could match these mountains; and I had them both at the same time as I was flying in my car across the immense and magnificent desert landscapes. It was a fabulous day, and I am happy Churchill and I are home safely, ready for a big turkey Thanksgiving with all the trimmings. I took a few images out the car window; I hope you enjoy them. I am sorry I can’t have you listen to Churchill as you enjoy these photographs.
