Illuminations
Remember yesterday, when I posted my first-ever photo of Moriarty, New Mexico?
Here’s what I saw in the (gigantic) parking lot of a fireworks stand. See how those flags and banners are held by the wind? And see the puddles in the parking lot? That, plus the fact that I had an absolutely inappropriate coat will explain why I didn’t stay very long in Moriarty. But at least I got off the highway, finally, and looked around.

No ID?
I had a work trip last month, a couple of days of training in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Flights from Lubbock to Albuquerque are ridiculous, with some of them taking longer than it would take to drive over. So I did the reasonable thing: I drove to Albuquerque. It’s an easy trip from Lubbock and is one I’ve made many times.
But in all those Lbb-Abq drives I had never gotten off the highway in Moriarity, New Mexico, to see what was there.
It was a bit of a jackpot. Pete’s Bar, for example, was quite compelling.

Santa’s Confinement
Sorry, kids, but Santa’s not available for photos. Please come back in about eight or nine months…

Tire and message
Well, I just hope that if this message is ever decoded, it won’t be something inappropriate for this blog!

…and then, they all left
This place has been out of business for quite a few years, so it seems weird that some of the stuff inside looks recently abandoned.
And what about that reflection in the broken window?!
