We're back in this little city, hot as hades, but happy here as we were there. Atlanta seems to be growing at a pace even faster than it was when we left (condos to the left, condos to the right), but our friends and favorite places are still where they need to be. Growing at a reasonable pace, not like kudzu.

Now that we are back, we can continue to explore this place. Radical bike tours might help and even if I just walk around my block with it's quiet and simple growth, and think about how liuving where one wants to live can be a polictial act, it's good. I'll keep picking my garden salad, figuring out what visual studies is and if it is possible to look at and talk about visual images without being blinded by theory, and getting back to the routines we have and generally enjoy.

Lucky kids that we are to have great friends in both worlds...

take care,
Rachael
