worthy causes
Yes, I am still alive. But in the interest of using what spare time I have to slightly more constructive purposes, I will keep this post relatively short and to the point. Better Half directed me to the report that Tucumcari was seriously damaged during these past storms that rolled across the country... to the point of losing power and suffering catastrophic damage to the neon light arrays that make the town so distinctive. I am not entirely sure why insurance does not cover this kind of damage (however, having lived through Katrina and the associated insurance debacles surrounding that, I am somehow not surprised), but I am thankful that the Friends of Mother Road organization has already launched a campaign to help fund the reconstruction process. I will, in all likelihood, make a donation, and in addition to my actually staying at the Blue Swallow, hopefully I will do my little bit to help get their neon back up off the ground, literally and figuratively. Take a look, when you get the chance, as well as at some of the pictures of Tucumcari's signs... certainly brings to mind images of an older time, that is for sure. Sure, there are some better causes out there upon which you can spend your money... but when it comes down to this or a Big Mac... You make the call. More tomorrow/later.
