pedernal: a non-traditional angle
If you are the littlest bit familiar with Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings of the New Mexico landscape, then I bet you’ve seen various versions of the mesa known as the Pedernal.
However, for some reason, none of hers included a picnic shelter and/or a belly dump trailer. That seems like sort of an oversight on her part, but who am I to say?

the way is clear
I was a weird, anxious little kid. Almost everything gave me reasons to worry.
For example, Young Me would have been terrified of these cliff-side signs; I figured our station wagon and our entire family would probably somehow not make the curve and would wind up in a busted-up heap way down below.
Now, all these decades later, I was so brave and stood right there and made a few photos. And then, I got in my car and continued the drive up the mountain without the tiniest bit of anxiety.

Well, ok.
But what are you actually supposed to do with this information?

hydromelized!
Y’all! They’re hydromelized!! HYDROMELIZED!! Isn’t that the best news ever?
Also, what even is hydromelized? That squashed-looking donut? The coffee? The letters on the sign?

I didn’t actually even own an umbrella until I was 19 years old and was moving from Lubbock to a wetter locale for college. And then I went someplace even wetter for grad school, where I know for sure I kept umbrellas in my car all the time. But then I came back to Lubbock and probably don’t quite recall how to open an umbrella. And when I went to Scotland last year, I didn’t even take an umbrella with me. I’m not a total idiot – I had a waterproof coat with a hood and anyway how can you hold an umbrella AND use a camera?
