Good news from Shamash
Shamash tells us five things we didn’t know about her, all of them remarkable. Most remarkable, perhaps, item # 3:
I once quit my 10-year career to take off on a year-long trip across the US in my little Honda Accord, with my tent and sleeping bag in my trunk. I stayed at State Parks, and slept in hotel parking lots, and hung out at beaches and old, country diners. I visited wineries, southern mansions, and bat-filled caves. I learned that America is not a scary place. Don’t believe the news. There are a lot of good people in the United States, especially if you don’t judge by appearances. At one state park, a greasy-haired man covered in tattoos and who looked like a Hell’s Angel, gave me pointers on how to stay safe as a single, traveling female, and then let me hold his two, tiny, pet chiwawas.
But then I doubt there’s much that Shamash is actually afraid of. Read the rest of the list.
And — for those of you who think the good old U.S.A. is the only place to get decent medical care — read about her Hospital Holiday (or having emergency surgery in Bangkok).

Hi, Sherry! I’m actually afraid of a lot of things, a few of them being frantic frogs enclosed in small places, the dentist, packing for long journeys, and (is there a word for this?) my apendix bursting while I’m in some remote jungle or desert.
