Today I just got into Michigan. This is the 16th state/federal district I’ve been in for the year 2021. I believe I will be in another 18 more states this year. Probably the most states in one year. 2020 I was physically in 20 different states, the most in one year. I am getting used to being on the road, not having a permanent residence for more than 6 months now. I have been seeing friends and family I haven’t seen for years and making some new friends too. I know this lifestyle has been around before I have done it, but it isn’t common. It is still not common. I do believe it will get more common. Greater portion of jobs having exclusive work from home positions, airbnb and other apps coming along that are similar to having a feel of home, abundance of gig work popping up, then looking to the future of autonomous vehicles, and stronger and stronger internet on the roads, more and more people won't have to live just in one spot. Now I am not saying a majority or half a majority will do this. Telecommuting will grow, as companies are looking at cutting costs to physical building space, and costs like TP, water, electricity, internet, etc. Covid has shown that to them, and forced them to see that. So I just learned this term, Digital Nomad. Someone that lives on the road, but has a job that they can access anywhere using the internet. I believe that will grow. It will be an interesting future.
Well this is my first time blogging, your adventures are teaching me new things.

When you visit your relatives there tell them Hi from me... I meant a few of them at your granddad's (my uncle) burial, and dinner...
