At a hotel, in Raton New Mexico

The back half of my stay in Austin was cold, and rainy. I didn't go on any more photo safaris, but I did see some live music.
Last Saturday I caught HONKY at Emo's. 
Jeff Pinkus from the Butthole Surfers was playing bass, and boy howdy is he a great bass player!

Then Sunday was Scott H Biram at The Highball.

Monday I saw Avatar 3D at the IMAX, which was good fun.
Tuesday I saw THE RESIDENTS at Stubb's, and again on Wednesday in Dallas.


After the Dallas show I crashed at my friend Josh's house in Fort Worth, and Thursday morning took off west for Colorado.
The half the trip was engulfed in sprinkling rain, and fog. I started off at 6:30am, and drove until 4:30 at Raton, New Mexico.
Snow appeared before Amarillo, and got deeper as I moved along. I don't think there are snow plows in Amarillo. I'll leave that there.

10 miles before the Texas/New Mexico line, I could see a strip of blue along the horizon ahead. Seriously? Was the sun about to appear at the state line? The closer I got, the thinner the clouds were, and I could start to see some sun trying to burn thru he clouds.
Sure enough, at the state line it was blue sky and some cloud whisps, and about 5 miles in, nothing but blue skies.

Had plenty of time to sleep, and got lots of it. Now I'm lazily hanging out in the room until check out. I need to figure out which place I'm going to stay at, and unload the truck of it's two scooters and photography stuff.
Back in Colorado.
Back to scooter land.
Back to the snow...
