Where Pavement Turns to Sand

Another New Years out in Chihuahua Valley. It's almost a tradition now to gather up a posse and head out of the city to visit Jordon and Sadie's country spread. Where the nights are icy and the warm sulfur water slides out of the earth. Here Benny guards Sadie's bus.

Some landmarks luring you to stop along the long stretches of the 79 south.

I watched this man on a mountain bike, companion in basket, J-skid to a stop, rip his cell phone out of his hip-holster and start firing away. All for what, a Peruvian flute ensemble?

"Dude, do you ever like... wonder how magnets work?"

"OMG! So and So looks so gorgeous! I'm gonna post this on my Facebook so everyone knows I was there. Jealous?"

"This inhale is for the kids"

This itch has been avoiding a scratch for way too long.
