Cooper, Colorado.

Cooper, Colorado.

ET’s rule! Whether you agree with that or not, they definitely rule this stretch of Highway 17 just North of Cooper, Colorado. A series of extra-terrestrial greetings are posted along the highway. They seem to be trying to tell me something. These signs of alien life are reminiscent of the [...]

Lafayette, Louisiana. Another post from a couple of weeks ago… To cap-off Mardi Gras, we headed to a local favorite, Crawfish Time, for shrimp & crawfish.
Ever since becoming enthralled in the film, Raising Arizona, it has been a great love of mine to call these sea critters, crawdads. I drop the “crawdad” reference [...]

Lafayette, Louisiana. Anyone headed to this chiropractor will certainly appreciate the good doctor’s services after either climbing the long staircase to the right or the short, steep stairs on the porch.

The stairs on the porch go straight into the ceiling (really), compliments of Dr. Chiropranktic.

Flashback! New Mexico. Available for adoption. Discovered as seen in photo. Her name is Smidgeon. I call her Smidge, for short.

Rio Grande River, NM. 01/12/05. One out of all bloggers agrees…
A Starbuck’s Grande is more refreshing than a Rio Grande. I would recommend that you get the Starbuck’s Grande stirred, not shaken. Appears you can only get the Rio Grande dry and on the rocks.

Flashback!  Ozarks, Arkansas. 1:43 in the AM. It has been a long day of wrapping up another photographic shooting spree through the midwest. I’m now headed back to Atlanta. Will have to rest tonight, but expect to pull back into the homestead within a day.
I’ve been sitting here scanning maps to [...]
