gal services. We were having sort of a breakfast at the motel and he introduced himself and gave us each his card. We were behaving ourselves and didn't have any visible tazer marks so I don't know why he thought we needed his services. His office is in the Bronx in New York so if he is going all the way to Oklahoma City to find clients either he is pretty bad or things have gotten a whole lot better in the Bronx and he has to go out looking for clients.The trip west from Oklahoma City was nice. We hit the first of the wind turbine generators about an hour west. I am always impressed with them. It was windy so they were really spinning.
The Texas panhandle is still bleak and looks more deserted than th

last time I went through. We stopped for lunch in Amarillo and then went to the Cadillac Ranch. When we got there there was a tour bus and about a half-dozen cars with people trudging back and forth to the 'shrine' of 1950-
1960 era Cadillacs. Before we left there was about 100 people that came and went and this goes on all day, every day. The place reeks of spray paint because everyone i
s painting something on the cars and now they have started painting on the dirt around the cars. (How do you like our matching shirts.)
We got back on the road and headed toward New Mexico. The flat plains finally transition to broken mesas and hills around Tucumcari. Tucumcari has seen better days. It built up around Route 66 but now most of it is dead or dying. Some of it is trying to relocate near the interstate but nothing seems to be thriving.
We got to Albuquerque about 6:30 mountain time and checked in to our motel and settled in. We walked about a block to Rudy's for BBQ and had pulled pork sandwiches and a couple beers. The workers have t-shirts with a saying on the back: "I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain... to eat vegetables".
