rtp: Buttonwillow, Tehachapi, Needles,a deep discount depraved off-off Vegas casino resort in Bullhead City, now Flagstaff




 Now, we are in Flagstaff. All ruddy and spiky and laced, at it's high edges, with snow. But first, it was a long stretch of desert driving.

We thought Meme would want to pose with me in the desert, since it was nice and quiet. Here she is, trying to bolt back into the van. She prefers a white coverlet at the Ramada, apparently.

 Casino-resort hotel on the Colorado river where AZ meets CA and NE..We chose it because it was 20 a night. Others chose it because it was Vegas meets Walmart, deep deep discount.  The resort scooped out a bank of the river to make a tikki beach. It was like sleeping in a an ashtray- arcade. The slots weren't what you;d imagine. They included Glittery Kitty (a white Persian cat with a pawful of pennies) and The Wizard of Oz.

In the a.m., Meemz just needs her latte and then she is ready to climb into the driver's seat for several hours. Does anyone remember that Mister Bill-esque SNL skit entitled, 'Toonsis, The driving cat'?





on Twitter

, where this blog lives now. because it can be read and posted to through that app, one-handed, on my back, by a body of water, or in the cool olive green light above my mattress. This is articulation my spine had not dreamed of before.

My blog lived on Tumblr for a minute

because it is so much easier to access from my phone. fallinginrealtime.tumblr This is the feed. No, I don't like it. I can't add another virtual box. I'll make due with Twitter.
