the frontier

I can’t imagine a world where there’s not a Frontier Restaurant in Albuquerque; it’s been right there on the corner of Central Avenue and Cornell Avenue since I can remember*. It’s good. It’s cheap. It’s open long hours. And (as you can see here) they bus the tables for you.

*Never you mind how long that is.

You’ll know when you see what I saw.

important cargo (maybe)

A junked out vehicle, filled with junk. Was it a redundancy or an amplification?

Also, in this town I saw a man walking along the highway. He was wearing a backpack and carrying a one-gallon container of water. Every time a car would pass by, he’d raise the water container as a wave to the drivers. (This is not a part of the state where people just…hike.) (So I am not sure what his deal was.)

quonset

I am a bit of a contrarian (this is probably not shocking news to any of you).

As a result, the only thing I could concentrate on was how much I would not fit in if I had to live in a town called Rule.

will fight

That banner was so wind-tangled that I couldn’t quite make out what someone will fight for but they apparently feel quite strongly about their position.
