Despite the disappointment - devoid of delicacies - we soldiered on.

You might not yet have realized that we were now astride the Continental Divide on U.S. 60 - which just so happens to be the same federal highway in central Kentucky which I lived on in Versailles KY in my horticultural youth, AND the same federal highway on which I spend a good bit of my work life in Louisville KY - Eastern Parkway. So I felt a bit more affinity there than the usual backroad on the high plateau of western New Mexico.

Oh, and there is one more thing.

What would you make of this?
