It's been way too long since I've posted - too little time between mad dashes and whirlwind visits. I'm in north Tejas on my way to Truchas, NM where I get to hole up and write for a couple of days before heading to Las Cruces and then Tucson.
I caught a high plains sunset last night. I hadn't realized or remembered how stunning these big sky vistas are. Their gentle rolls are lush green, probably in part because of the recent rains, and peppered with small trees and bushes - so different than the flat, golden expanses I grew up on.
But, OK, a strip mall lament [the old parts of Hwy 1 in Ft Lauderdale & Miami are, of course, fine exceptions]: the scale of strip malls is expanding to more mini-mall size along with dually/Hemi-scale trucks and jumbo houses. And on a road trip level alone, they kill the romance of high plains driftin. But so where do convenience and perspicacity and serendipity meet and where do they diverge?
