Twidget Truck - Albuquerque

Those of you who've read of Michelle and her brother's early-childhood nomenclature


(see:   https://newmexnomad.blogspot.com/2019/03/twidget-aisle.html   )


 for cat parts will recognize the iconic logo and its significance.

One has to take one's thrills where one can when driving (what else is there to do?!) in the barrens of an urban wasteland.


Actually, upon closer scrutiny, what you're looking at is a remarkable photo. The horizontal line above the dark gray at the left side is the escarpment that marks the boundary of the lava flow from three fumeroles on the west side of the Rio Grande rift. That dark lump in the middle ground that looks sort of like a basking walrus is one of the vents. In the far distance (60 miles) is the hump of Mt. Taylor, one of the four major geographic markers (the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff are the western) that delineate the boundaries of the native peoples' "area" who lived here for thousands of years before the White's arrived.
