Salute

This is the fabled "death hat" of west Texas that haunts me to this moment. I believe the photo was taken in some 24 dollar-a-night motel just south of the New Mexico border along I-10. I don't know how but when I turned the AC on, somehow cool air came in from somewhere (you see, there was nothing in the wall behind the switch) but I suspect that it was some member of the indian family pedalling some fanning machine which suited weary traveller just fine. Raise a glass or your favorite thing today and remember. Peace.
