When I stood in the middle of a road to get this shot, I knew I’d be submitting it to the big annual High + Dry show here in Lubbock.
I did submit it. And I didn’t get in. (I only mention it in case you were planning a trip to Lubbock to see it in person.)

couch
There’s an old couch underneath the even-older sign. I guess if you timed it right, you might be able to sit there during the few minutes each day when the couch is in the sign’s shadow. And who knows? You might even enjoy sharing the furniture with the resident vermin.

The last part of Route 66 was a long-ass (and slow) drive from Albuquerque to Santa Monica. In the summer. It was about a million degrees everywhere we went, except for Flagstaff. It was a delightful 35 degrees the morning we were there, which was a fine way to wake up – all that cool mountain air coming through the open window of our room.
To celebrate the coolness, I wandered around downtown for a while.
And then got in the car and headed out. The stop that night was in Needles, California, which just SOUNDS like it’s hot. (And if you call 113 degrees hot, then yes: it was indeed hot there.)
