It’s All About the Art “You’ll love Burning Man,” he’d said, free spirits, people stripped bare of their complicated lives, amazing art.” “What’s not to love?

It’s all about the art, the words dancing out of her mouth. ———————————- I’m posting from the wilds of Alaska with my iPhone on a sailboat. We have limited Internet access and a captain that’s ready to sail. Please forgive any typos, etc. I’m roughing it! Enjoy and Google Burning Man in Nevada if you’ve never heard of this amazing art festival in the Bkack Rock Dessert. (aka Black Rock Desert) 🙂 Oh, the joys of roughing it with only one device.

Heard of Burning Man, you described it just as i’ve pictured it, except for the placement of that sand, but after days and days, I’m sure you’re spot on! 🙂 Loved this! I miss Alaska, have a great time!

Burning Man has long been on my Bucket List– which seems more crazy each year (my dream). I loved everything about this piece, but the line “Prudy sneered wiping sand out of her vagina.” took it to a fabulous level! Perfection.
Hope your trip is as amazing as it sounds!
