Having time to kill, some of the glorious old neon still lurking about Las Vegas. And finally, the Art-o-Mats at the Cosmopolitan Hotel.


Into the Desert Wilderness🌵
Old Neon Signs of Yuma, Arizona

Vegan Victuals Goes to Spain 🇪🇸
Miscellaneous Madrid Scenery

Behold a Madrid photodump! As I write this from my couch, it’s hard to imagine this backdrop was at my disposable for several days. I decided I needed to see more of the Old World… for the architecture alone. Ok, and their cemeteries. In the meantime… This was on a Read more…

On the Border of Vermont & New Hampshire

One thing to take note of when driving on the backroads of Vermont while using Google Maps GPS… they don’t really care if they put you on a steep dirt road winding into the mountains like the long driveway of some geezer living off the grid barely. That is how Read more…


Running Away to Jersey, Part 6
Ocean City, New Jersey

What I love about shore towns is that they’re often like carnivals that stay permanently. And if they’re not there permanently, chances are I’d enjoy them even more wandering around their decay.

What Happens in Vegas

Las Vegas is an ideal start/end for escapes to the desert’s surrounding natural beauty.  But before I run to the red rocks of Utah, some of Vegas’s offerings, starting with an immediate drive to all-vegan VegeNation.  I was shocked to learn that their head chef Donald Lemperle has major New Read more…

Marfa is Weird.
Day 3 in Texas, Part 2

Today ended with thunder and lightening and torrential downpours, telling me “Stay put and get some sleep!” Ok, I had to say. Lightening when the sky is this big is its own draw, but I suppose I won’t run out at midnight tonight. Maybe at 11 though… I set out Read more…

Road Americana (quick pictorial)

I love everything about being on the road. I get to eat everything up, using all my senses.  And things are old and rundown yet ooze life. And there is weirdness, an endless supply of weirdness. Style and colors Textures Color Function Oh and this is just a motel tip Read more…


Neon & Steel [And Some Food]

I woke up in Cincinnati, Ohio and went to bed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This means that, likely, I will spend tomorrow evening in my own bed. New York. Though I am squeezing in brief stops as I pass through, this excursion is winding down. But I still need sustenance and Read more…


Greetings From Nashville, Tennessee

I arrived in Nashville in the early a.m.  One, because of entering the Central Time zone and two, more so, because I left Sweetwater, TN at the crack of dawn. I just didn’t know what to expect as far as traffic. But it was smooth sailing and I arrived with Read more…


Light & Dark

It’s morning in Shenandoah, and the sun overcomes its obstacles. As usual. How perfect is a morning? Fresh and potent with opportunity and intention. Never you mind what becomes of it; that’s the evening’s problem to solve. The clouds veil the light, hiding the blue, so you don’t take it Read more…
