Gotta get out of this desert place
With cloudless sky and burning sand
With lizards under every bush
And crows in every withered tree.
Wanna go where the air is cool
And soft refreshing breezes sway
The tendrils of the flowered vines
That climb the branches of the trees
But Kismet’s karma has decreed
I need some more of hot and dry
The place I go will be the same
except for one small saving grace.
The sun takes all the heat along
When it decides to go away
So things cool down at evensong
And I can live another day.

Taking a drive up Route 66 to Albuquerque, NM for a Laurel and Hardy Buffs convention. Gonna hit every site along the way including Sky Walk and the Grand Canyon Steam Railway for starters. Waited 3 years for this trip. Gonna eat it up like candy. See ya in 2 weeks.
Behave yourselves while I'm gone.
