## Resource

In this episode, recorded from his friend David’s house in Thorn Hill, Tennessee, Tom gives a proper road trip update. He explains the new route after scrapping Washington D.C.: heading from Tennessee through Nashville, then Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, Arizona, Las Vegas, and finally into California. He talks about how much he’s enjoying the Southern hospitality, the mountain air, and the heat, and says meeting David and his son James in person for the first time has been one of the highlights so far. Tom also shares his amusement at seeing a baby clothes store right next to a gun shop — calling it peak America — and reaffirms his strong support for the Second Amendment. A relaxed, honest “virtual diary” episode straight from the road. See you next week, keeper. Safe travels.
