    Hi everyone!

    I am moving to Colorado from Oregon late February and will be driving with my cat. I am shipping my belongings separately so it’s just us in the car.

    We will be traveling through Idaho, Utah, and Colorado. I have never been through any of these states, particularly this time of year. My planned route is

    Day 1 - Portland, OR -> Boise, ID
    Day 2 - Boise, ID -> Salt Lake City, UT
    Day 3 - Salt Lake City, UT -> Grand Junction, CO
    Day 4 - Grand Junction, CO -> Denver, CO

    Because of the time of year, I wanted to see if anyone had tips for traveling this route. I have checked average temperatures for the cities I’ll be stopping in for that time of year but I know that’s not the full story. I’m also going to get my car checked out before the long drive to make sure all is well. I have all season tires that are newer and chains already in the car.

    I have a first aid kit, will bring a few blankets and some food/water for both me and the cat (Marge), a battery pack, and a few days of clothes for the traveling. That’s all I could think of.

    Does anyone have suggestions or tips for this 1200+ mile trip? Also, my cat has only ever been in the car for about 3 hours at most. She’s sometimes anxious and sometimes chill. If anyone has suggestions for traveling with a cat in the car for up to 7 hours per day, that would also be appreciated!

    Ah, yes, I have certainly considered that! I make an effort to see my family and friends throughout the year, so these (holidays) very few days a year are fine to miss.

    1. I stopped celebrating around 2014, age 24. I had moved away from Texas and across the country and it seemed like a good time since all of my family remain there.
    2. I stopped celebrating for a couple of reasons. It was a religious holiday for some, and a capitalist one for others. I don’t want to participate in either. As an adult, I don’t have to. I also remember as a kid seeing how kids only cared about the presents they received and the parents struggling to afford presents (my parents included). I grew up on a poor, small Texas town.
    3. My parents don’t understand and my mother continues to invite me every year and cries when I decline. I explain my reasons nearly every year and it doesn’t seem to matter. Most of my friends accept it but I don’t have any friends that agree with me and that’s ok. They still invite me to Christmas things, I say no, they continue to try and convince me. I can tell that it originates from a good place but it immediately becomes disrespectful when I have to say no multiple times, every year.
    4. I use to go to the movies, sometimes a bar, but mostly I use the time to relax and work on creative projects. It’s a fun feeling knowing most people are busy with something for the day and you’re not.

    wow thank you for the compliments and i’m really happy you liked it. i made music videos of every song on miles away if anyone is interest to check those out. though i do think there’s a compression issue with the audio in a shift. you can check them out on my website if you want.

    i haven’t heard of nuages and will definitely check them out. i’m loving all the recommendations from you all!

    i just listened to your song film and i’m super into it! the atmosphere is incredible. also, thanks for the extensive write-up. i would love to talk with you about all of this and would absolutely want to collaborate in some way. i’ve been really into remixing and also mixing/mastering. if any of that sounds interesting to you, lets fuckin do it!

    thanks for listening to my music and i’m happy to hear you enjoyed it, too! the detuned piano was a choice. the song was suppose to have vocals but i couldn’t make it work so the version you heard had the the violin and bass. i recorded a friend going hard on his violin in my kitchen for hours. my neighbors probably hated me but i like how it turned out. i’ve gotten that feedback about it sounding like it could be on a soundtrack before and i’m all for it—i would love to score for a film. kind of a dream.

    i haven’t heard of the artists you mentioned — excited to check them out!

    your music is riiight up my alley, thanks for sharing! i am technically a certified audio engineer, so if you wanted help with the mixing/masterinf, i’d love to! for free of course.
