Last year when my good friends from New England made their inaugural visit to West Texas, I decided that one of the things we had to do was to stop at the Big Texan Steak Ranch. Then I doubled down on that plan and we also spent the night next door at the Big Texan Motel. Both places were equally kitschy, which was of course the point of our visiting them.

Naturally, with it being Texas and all, the motel had horse stalls for rent. And, also naturally, I went over to check it out.
There wasn’t a single horse, but wow! That light was stunning.
