needle moon
It was a gray night in Needles; even the full moon didn’t help very much.
Our stop in Needles came after a long day of driving that took us from the close-to-freezing temperature in Flagstaff*, across the desert, through a creepy town that I’ll call “Oatman”**, and then down into Needles, which was hot AF and really pretty depressing.
Oh, the joys of a road trip!

Hang on JUST ONE MINUTE, Wishing Well Motel. I am well aware of my age and I really don’t appreciate your saying “welcome to old.” I mean, maybe you meant it kindly, but honestly, it struck me as being sort of judgey.

That guy seems friendly enough, like he’d be happy to take your order for some eggs or maybe a slice of pie and a cup of coffee. The place seems organized pretty well – skillets hanging in size-order, cases of soda stacked neatly – and clean, too, with a sink right there to hold the dirty stuff.
But there’s something about his eyes that makes me a little nervous.

This? Just a little reminder that Route 66 is the home to people of more cultural backgrounds than you might expect (especially if your R66 drive has been limited to the Texas panhandle).

Do you know your employees? Do you know if they like tacos?
