Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

only so many people per day are allowed

That's why I never made it there ...

Bisbee was a great place to buy and look at pretty stuff, and Tombstone was horrible and plastic, so you made quite the right decision there.

I'm another one who doesn't get MLK off. Would be nice, but at least my commute's really easy that day.

I can't even.

Then we drove on to Bisbee, another 40-50 miles down the road, which is an old mining/Wild West town turned arts colony, with a huge left-over open pit mine right around a bend. It was built in a tiny gully right next to the Copper Queen Mine, and has funky Victorian-era houses (and V-e shacks, really) climbing up the steep sides. We met mutual friends Will & Emma for coffee and a bit of a guided tour before they had to go back to work.

Aww. Will and Emma meetage. I only met them a couple of times a bunch of years ago, but I think they are great.

I am so happy that we have the day off. I would really love a 4 day work week. I am never gonna be able to work part-time unless I get married or combine households with someone. OR! LOTTERY!

I love Bisbee! It's comepletely nuts.

There's a book, Going Back to Bisbee that is positively lovely. History, flora & fauna, etc of the Sonora.

Punishingly Intricate

Martin Luther King Day is one of the least-observed holidays.

We never used get it off to but my small company was bought by a much larger company last year and now we do! Plus I'm taking tomorrow off so I'm going to NC for the weekend to visit my brother and family. I'll finally get to give my nieces their xmas presents. I'm so excite because I brought the 3 year old a ukelele from Hawaii. Everybody HULA!

I thought that Tucson was the prettiest ever. But then I saw New Mexico. Bon bon's still mad at me, I fear.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Go Lottery, choose lottery!

The past 3 weeks have had holidays in them to break them up. If only I got paid for holidays...

I think the prettiest stuff I saw on the trip this summer was in AZ, but I've been places in NM that are prettier. The photo I have in my office of a sunset in Cruces is awesome. It has purple mountains, white coulds, orange/yellow sky, green grass, and reflecting river.

Still, I think the only domestic landscape that makes me weak and weirdly homesick is central Texas.
