Cupertino to Bend via Bisbee

The last day in Silicon Valley slowly winds it's way too conclusion. Got last minute shopping and pack fitting done so while I've got a little time before heading out to comedy show #2 in 2 nights figured I'd tap this out. Bill Burr was so goddamn funny last night my abs were cramping. He's …
