This keeps the whole thing running
Way above Albuquerque, this machinery keeps the Sandia Peak Tram moving up and down the mountain. You can see another view of the structure on the Tram Cam.
I’d explain how all this works, only I don’t really know. I could ask a certain civil engineer of my acquaintance, but his explanations tend to be rather lengthy. (I once asked him, as we were leaving the house for a one-hour drive to my grandfather’s house, to explain pre- and post-stressed concrete. He was just winding up the lecture as we pulled into my grandfather’s driveway. At least it wasn’t a FIVE hour trip…..)

It’s just a game
I want to believe that the placement of a basketball goal next to a cemetery was the result of a priest’s attempt at illustrating some kind of theology.
Or maybe it was just where the ground was open enough and level enough for it to work.

Remember how, in the White on White, 4 post, I mentioned the possibility of perhaps using shots taken somewhere other than Texas?
Here we go: New Mexico!

On the other hand…
On the other hand, not being adequately informed for a trip might mean that you end up in some place (let’s just call it “Redding, California”) that you chose for no other reason than it was approximately half-way between one place and somewhere else.
When that happens, the best thing to do is spend your time away from “Redding, California.”
