The End of the Road

So here I am on Mother's Day at the end of the road in Northern Nevada on an unspecified mission. (mystery!)   Yesterday in Reno I finally made it into St Vincent's Resale Shop, mentioned multiple times in Festival Madness.  There was a really cool Mission desk for $50.00, but whatchagonnado?

Saw lots of wildflowers yesterday, none of which I could identify.  Cool pelicans all over beautiful blue Pyramid Lake.  Swallows darting over the road. 

Saw the Mother of All coyotes yesterday morning en route to Reno.  Big critter.  Must have had a belly full of rabbits.  

Lots of folks smoking in Reno, and funky old western buildings, sleaze, hot sun.  People are friendly, and I've been gone from the West for so long that this takes one aback.  Sad, really, to be startled by friendliness.  Very sad.   

I drink rum and sit on the porch in the evening, listening to the birds and petting a friendly cat.  So things are good at the end of the road.
