Space Age Lodgings




So, I just couldn't drive any farther tonight on my way home to Bisbee from Escondido. I've got a van full of boxes and have been driving for many hours. I decided to pull off the highway at Gila Bend and found this wild roadside motel called (I kid you not) the Space Age Lodge. Turns out the owner made the metal parts for rockets for NASA back in the day. Cool, huh?

I knew you guys wouldn't believe me, so I took pictures.....So, if I am not abducted by aliens or held for questioning about my HCA affiliations, I will see you all on Wednesday.

Can't wait!!!

Good morning Bisbee! It looks like it's going to be yet another beautiful day here in Tiny Town (I didn't coin the term...I have our friend Juliette Beaumont, the bartender at Elmo's to thank).  I've got the wonderful "hurry up & wait" task of needing to wait for a visit from the cable company to deal with the inconsistent internet connection I have. But, the next few hours are mine alone. Nice. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to picking up my lovely daughter, Mira, at the airport in Tucson this evening and having her here in Bisbee for a week! I moved here last June on the same day she left for her travels in India, Cambodia and Thailand this past summer. She's a world traveler, and it will be very cool to show her my new home. I'm hoping to introduce her to as many of my new Bisbee friends as possible. We'll be seeing you around...

Emily Decks Out for the Sandman Show at Elmo's

Yesterday afternoon a bunch of us went down to St. Elmo's in Brewery Gulch to hear our friend Sandman perform his unique blend of Cowboy Rap and Poetry (you've got to hear it to understand - check out his website ).  One of our own - Emily - was sporting quite the amazing outfit...which used to belong to Sammy Davis, Jr.! She says a friend of hers back in New Jersey passed it along to her after a photo shoot with said Sammy.  Now, I think that's just way cool!
