Closed until June

If you’ve been putting off travel to Santana’s Street Tacos and More because they were closed, I have good news: it’s time to plan a trip! The sign on the door indicates they re-opened on June 23. Y’all have fun!

Laundry

It’s oilfield country out here. That means RV parks are sprouting to accommodate the need for workforce housing*. A corresponding need is laundry service, so it’s good to know that should you select Coyanosa’s RV park, you can also enjoy having clean clothes.

*Known colloquially as “man camps.” One of these days maybe I’ll tell you about the time my two (female) coworkers and I ended up having lunch at a man camp dining room. It was…different.

Real

This sign required me to make two u-turns on the highway in order to get the photo. I never once asked myself if the resulting photo would justify that kind of driving.

Two Stories

 

I was around behind an out-of-business place, because of course I was. Otherwise, how would I have ever spotted this magical scene of a pickup cab sitting atop its own bed?

Street-Stove

Because I am out of commission for a while (I got a new knee the other day), I spent a couple of month’s of weekends photographing like a crazy person – I wanted to have enough images to stock the blog during recuperation. I felt like I owed that to my reader(s).

So, on one of those drive-abouts, I went to Earth. The town of Earth, I mean. And while I was there, I spotted the elusive street-stove!
