Beautiful drive yesterday...but still cold. If you look closely at this picture you'll see my new best friend, a 2-gallon gas tank I named Matt, in honor of the 400-pound man who saved me from my earlier fuel faux pas. Think I saw the Rockies as I was leaving Arizona, then saw more mountains in New Mexico and a watercolor sunset that you just don't see anywhere but in the desert. It's true what they say about people being friendly here. After checking into the La Quinta Inn on the outskirts of El Paso and finding two different places closed for dinner at 8 pm (bizarre) I ended up at a Famous Dave's Barbecue for pulled pork and a beer. My bartender, Eddie, told me he is moving in a week to Los Angeles to pursue his dreams as a cinematographer! Love it! I played the seasoned LA veteran and told him to make a reel. Folks in Los Angeles, if you meet Eddie...show him the way! Next stop, Austin (Texas, that is).
