Yes. Well. There are a lot of places to spend the night in Tucumcari.

This is not one of them.

psalms

Some signage on the side of a building caught my attention the very second we were so far down the street that a u-turn was required.

Those 6s are a bit wonky, aren’t they?

wiener man

I’m taking the day off. Feel free to write your own jokes about this man and his wiener.

hill-top

A long time ago, in a different career, I was sent to Victorville to help out with some stuff at the transit system there. At the time, I thought it was a Very Great Honor to have been selected for the task. But then later, when I got fired from that job, I thought maybe I’d been sent out there as punishment.

That was prior to my becoming a photographer, so I completely missed the scenic possibilities of this hilltop o’ stuff.

Good thing I got a chance to return.

best price

This was one of my favorite places on the Arizona part of Route 66: competing souvenir stores, with large (very) signage throwing shade at each other. Curiously, though, they each promised the “best price” so perhaps there was some price-fixing going on?
