Seen on a KU fan's t-shirt: God bless America... Except Missouri.
We are literally in the very highest row in the stadium. Our closest neighbor is a skybox.

We are in the middle of nowhere, Texas, but we just passed a Stuckey's. I got online and looked up Stuckey's history from my phone.

I'm bored with being in the car and with eastern New Mexico.
Stan is having the John Wayne for lunch and I'm having the Rita Moreno.
I tried to post twice while we were in Petrified Forest National Park. Now we are at the very cool El Rancho Hotel, Route 66 site in Gallup, NM.
Blogger is pissing me off. Half of my posts get a "your carrier is not supported" response. Uh, hello, Sprint?
We have officially made it through the first of our three bags of Chex Mix.

They have Alco in Holbrook! I saw a bleach blonde head coming toward me and thought, "It's an employee." I was right!
We made it! We are at the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, AZ. This is the most awesomest place ever!
It is so nice to be in Arizona, where people know how to make salsa!
Should you trust food recommendations from a fat person or a skinny one? Presumably the fat one has sampled the whole menu.
On the other hand, maybe the skinny one has more discriminating taste.
At lunch, our rail-thin waiter was recommending dessert to another table. Got me thinking:
I love living in California, but when you want a chicken-fried steak for breakfast there's no place like a Nevada casino.
Now we are 20 miles outside Flagstaff and it's snowing.
Big news in southern Nevada today? The grand opening of Encore at Wynn Las Vegas.

Made it to Laughlin!
Seen in high desert just E of Tehachapi at 4,000 ft. elevation: old boat on desert floor w/ "S.S. Minnow" spray painted on side.
Motel beds suck.
Stockton had the worst air quality yesterday. A little valley fog this morning but not bad.
A crop duster flew right over us yesterday, but I didn't even think to take a picture.
