After dinner
Our genial hosts at the B&B handed us a stack of menus from local restaurants, then gave us a short rundown on each one. Based on their phrase “…and he’s trying to make a go of it.” we ended up at Ken’z Cuisine* for dinner.
The food was good, and the place was totally of the 1970s as far as interior design motifs went.

*Yes. That is indeed an apostrophe-z.
Whipping into the storm
One of my regular commenters (you know who you are) said, in response to this picture from earlier in the month, “I hope you did another shot somewhere just of the sky. Deserves to be more than just supporting cast.”
And so, here we are.
And, here we are with yet another song reference as a title. Because that’s the way I am.

cross/walk
I am not sure why all these crosses were lined up along the street on the outskirts of Española.
I’ve stopped at a lot of roadside crosses, and almost all the time they indicate a place where someone lost their life along the roadway. But this seemed different, somehow. For one thing, there were so many of them. And the death dates were different. Maybe over time, this has developed into the most dangerous roadway in the state. Or maybe over time, this has developed into an ad hoc location to put up a cross for a deceased loved one, if you can’t afford a traditional gravesite.

Don’t bring your appetite
I mean, you can if you want. But it’d be a good idea to also bring your own food – the Wellman Diner is out of business.

Where to store crosses
Do you or someone you know struggle with knowing where to store those crosses in the off-season? Have you thought they should be kept inside, away from the weather? Do you worry that leaving them outside might be somehow considered sacrilegious?
We here at One Day | One Image share those concerns, and are happy to report that – apparently – it is perfectly acceptable to store them on the back of the parking lot, leaning against a storage shed.
