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.

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?!

Badly Painted Paintball

Somehow, I don’t think that sign adequately conveys how much fun paintball is.

(I don’t really know how much fun it is. I played laser tag once, and was outscored by a bunch of little kids – never mind by how much – so I think I’d enjoy paintball about the same amount as I enjoyed laser tag. So, in that case, maybe the sign is appropriate, after all.)

Secrets the Light Reveals

Seeing the way the light slanted across the room made my day. I’m sometimes astonishingly easy to please.
