The road home
The rest of Saturday was hauling ass to Marfa via Carlsbad and Van Horn. Pretty scenery but I wouldn't recommend the route to anyone in a hurry, especially Rt. 54 if it's just rained. I hit one of the low-water crossings too fast to see it was flooded and if there had been more than 6 inches I might still be in the rental car somewhere downstream.
Van Horn to Marfa was just plain dreary except for this particular oddity visible from 10 miles away:
Got into town too late and exhausted to partake of any Saturday night activities. In fact this time my Marfa experience was limited to a motel room with a non-functioning TV remote and an early-Sunday hour in the laundromat. At least they try and make doing laundry a little interesting there by giving the machines names.
Laundry done, I blew town and was back in Austin by late afternoon. I regret not getting into the Paisano again this time, but in fact it would have been a waste of a good room, so wasted I was from driving through desert storms much of the day.
And yes, I did try out the Flip though the movies mostly duplicate the stills. I'll see if there's anything useful as soon as I am ready to brave iMovie 09 again.
