Re: Arlo's wild west show....

ArloTYM draws a deep breath, once again looks down at the keyboard, an begins to peck....

...well,...as I best recall, we were headin down ole route 66 lookin for a car parts store so we could pick up a few items so as to make the car we had been trashin for the last week appear like new....these are the type of items we were lookin for...



...and oder killin stuff...

Re: Arlo's wild west show....

...I rolled the back windows down...an unbeknownst to me, I had inadvertently left my camera on the back seat, in the "on" position with the lense exposed. Snow was blowin in the windows...but the car WAS airin out....I grabbed the camera an took this pic of ole route 66...which is called "Central Ave" in Albuquerkie town...



btw...there was a jamaican restaurant on the "strip"...but I didn't get a picture cuz I was really in a hurry by this time...lookin back, I should have made the time....ah...hindsight!

[turtledude]

Re: Arlo's wild west show....

...fate threw a car store up right in our face [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img], slightly to the left...we scored what we were lookin for....and proceeded on to the next order of bizness...which was FOOD!

...saw a sign for SONIC BURGER...(which I'd never before tried) ...so we pulled in there...again much glad that they took plastic...ordered our food, and proceeded to clean the car while we were waiting for it. Snow was blowin in the left side of the car as we were shovelin the garbage out, and wipin the mud an stuff off the door panels...here's the actual restaurant...I didn't take this here pic...try to imagin it in a blizzard....

[turtledude]

Re: Arlo's wild west show....

...the food came an looked kinda like this....cept in bags...with the burger wrapped in its own individual burger bag so when a person eats it, it doesn't fall all over yur lap. I give them 5 stars [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]

Re: Arlo's wild west show....

...the car was now clean, our stomachs were full...and we had just finished double-checkin our carry on stuff for excess sized liquid containers an weapons of mass destructive potential, like tonail clippers....so we checked the clock. 15 minutes were left to make it to "home plate",...the car rental place....8 of them were used up tryin to get back onto central ave...traffic was at a crawl...we felt like toothless refugees in a famine tryin to eat corn off the cob....septin that, our stomachs were full...but no matter...the end was in sight, or so we thought....

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
And they'd rather give you a song then diamonds or gold

Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's each night begins a new day
And if you don't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probly just ride away

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountian moringin's
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
And them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong he's just different
but his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such

Re: Arlo's wild west show....

Back in the day, we used to sing with Waylon & Wille & Jessie & the boyz, "Mama don't let your cowboys grow up to be babies"...That was back in my cowgirl era, I'm an old cow hand from the Rio Grand, and I learned to ride before I learned to stand...heheh.

Well this is just a peachy dandy little trip report, then you went and threw SONIC into the mix! OHHH I love Sonic! I think my first Sonic was somewhere outside Oklahoma City in similar circumstances, minus the airport. Bummer about your camera getting wet but the photograph is surreal!

I'm trying to remember my drive through Albequerke in the snow that all but shut down the freeway, therefore I can't imagine trying to get off and back on. And, now you have me in suspense about if you made it or not and I'm so glad you foudn more pictures!

I hope your camera is gonna be OK. You gonna let us know the outciem this year or make us wait till next? happy New year to you & LB!!!

Re: Arlo's wild west show....

...so, having finally gotten back onto Central Ave headin west...we were feelin kinda comfortable with the fact that things, from this point on, were pretty much out of our hands. We had done the best we could, given what we had to work with here...etc., you might say we were feelin kinda philosophical like, about the situation. Within 3 miles we found the on ramp to I-25 South (everything on I-25 north was shut down due to a couple a jackknifed semi's)....a few more miles and we took the off ramp to the airport...and then we followed the signs to the rental car center....
