Closed until June
If you’ve been putting off travel to Santana’s Street Tacos and More because they were closed, I have good news: it’s time to plan a trip! The sign on the door indicates they re-opened on June 23. Y’all have fun!

Laundry
It’s oilfield country out here. That means RV parks are sprouting to accommodate the need for workforce housing*. A corresponding need is laundry service, so it’s good to know that should you select Coyanosa’s RV park, you can also enjoy having clean clothes.

*Known colloquially as “man camps.” One of these days maybe I’ll tell you about the time my two (female) coworkers and I ended up having lunch at a man camp dining room. It was…different.
Real
This sign required me to make two u-turns on the highway in order to get the photo. I never once asked myself if the resulting photo would justify that kind of driving.

Two Stories
I was around behind an out-of-business place, because of course I was. Otherwise, how would I have ever spotted this magical scene of a pickup cab sitting atop its own bed?

Laundry Day
In 2015, I spent a glorious two weeks in Nova Scotia, making photos. I made a LOT of them. Everywhere we went, we saw laundry hanging out to dry. I wanted a photo of someone’s laundry and I tried and tried but left for home without The Laundry Photo that I wanted.
So, time passed…the way it does.
And last month I was someplace less maritime than Nova Scotia – San Jon, New Mexico, to be precise – but that still provided me many opportunities to make the kind of photos I love to make.
And, also, finally: I got a picture of some laundry hanging out to dry.
