That New Mexican light, people! We crushed Oklahoma today---gorgeous driving, actually, with a soft fog the whole time. Texas was a welcome if brief homecoming. And tonight WE'RE EATING GREEN CHILI IN TUCUMCARI! Later we'll see what God meant when he invented stars.

  2. I have been through Tucumcari a couple times. I can recollect the smell of the motel's air freshener and feel the dry desert air as we swam in the tiny outdoor pool in the dark, after a full day on the road. Based on their vividness, the stars were closer to us than we were to each other.
