Remembering space at the VLA

Currently I am working for a blood bank in Chicago. I drive and deliver blood and plasma to hospitals. It’s an important job and I like it. The job does not pay as much as I would like, but I like being out and about. Most of the people there are nice. I, of course am have always been a little strange socially. Oh well…. Anyway, I remember going out with this nice lady in Arizona, but because I am a bit of a loser, I could not make things work out in Arizona. One thing you need out there is money. Money to put a down payment on a house etc…etc.. I had no nest egg. I let myself and my ex-girlfriend down. Anyway, I am too disorganized to really have anything real in life it seems.

Also, I am wounded spiritually from my past experiences. My mental wounds have healed, but scars remain. Socially I am just plain ill. Anyway, right now, having gone what I went through I remember being at peace with myself and the only person in many many miles at the VLA Very Large Array in New Mexico. I take better photos when I am by myself. Dunno what it is, but when I push the button on my camera, for each photo, I pray and think about my life here as I take the photo.

My old, trusty, red Honda Prelude is featured in these series of photos. I loved that car, it was more like a go-cart. A bit uncomfortable and bumpy, but really responsive. It is just steel, rubber, plastic and glass, but that car has been with me through all my travels…good and bad. Alone I am, me and my machinery…still today I remain alone.
