Det kan inte hj\u00e4lpas. Just idag skulle jag kunna checka ut fr\u00e5n det lilla hotellet i Sausalito. Ta v\u00e4gen, ettan, s\u00f6derut \u00f6ver Golden Gate bron in mot centrala San Francisco. Men inte stanna. Vara n\u00f6jd med g\u00e5rdagens middag nere vid Fishermans Warf, inte hummer den h\u00e4r g\u00e5ngen, men n\u00e4stan, avnjuta bluesen p\u00e5 klubbarna alldeles d\u00e4r i n\u00e4rheten och sp\u00e5rvagnen som man inte tror skulle g\u00e5 att bromsa men som g\u00e5r att bromsa mitt d\u00e4r i backen, som man \u00f6verlevde turen med. Nej \u00e5ka vidare. Genom San Francisco, ut ur San Francisco. Genom granplanteringarna med Disneygranar, varvade med vinodlingarna. Hur m\u00e5nga som helst. F\u00f6lja kustv\u00e4gen. Ettan. En av v\u00e4rldens vackraste v\u00e4gar ner mot Los Angeles. Naturligtvis var man f\u00f6rutseende nog att hyra en \u00f6ppen bil s\u00e5 caben \u00e5kte ner redan n\u00e4r man passerat Daly City. En berusande men helt alkoholfri f\u00e4rd med det v\u00e4ldiga Stilla havet p\u00e5 ena sidan med varma smekande vindar denna soliga dag och det mots\u00e4gelsefulla USA p\u00e5 den andra med sin mix av allt som \u00e4r b\u00e4st i v\u00e4rlden och allt som \u00e4r s\u00e4mst i v\u00e4rlden. En \u00e5tta under huven som mullrar och suger i sig bensin. Just idag denna resa \u00e4r det inget som spelar n\u00e5gon roll. En sista g\u00e5ng eller \u00e4nnu en g\u00e5ng g\u00f6ra det som m\u00e5ste g\u00f6ras f\u00f6r att locka fram leenden i vinternatten senare d\u00e4r hemma i Sverige. Leenden som utan denna resa skulle blivit tomma grimaser. Unna sig.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
