Kristofur has been one of my housemates for the past several months. We became pretty close. Real mano y gato. My hosts have been so generous in letting me stay with them. I’m truly grateful for their hospitality. But sadly, they refused to let me take Kristofur with me when I left this morning. Totally unreasonable.

So, meet my travelling companion.

I know, right? You’re thinking that looks like Simba. He gets that all the time. But his name is Kristofur2.

Anyway, Kristofur2 and I left the Bay Area this morning and arrived in Salt Lake City this evening, safe and sound…and tired. We had a couple of snow flurries, but it was amazing how most of the bad weather passed in front of us and behind us.

Here is my last photo from California. Symbolic?

And how about this one from Nevada?!
