"Going Mobile" (that would be by, The Who)

After a fun afternoon watching the Super Bowl, we went mobile early Mon. morning.  We are tumbleweeds today; open for whatever experience presents itself as we steadily move towards Denver.  Hwy. 40 East, lots of billboards (they're outlawed in Alaska), Mexican imports, cowboy and Indian souvenirs (how did we turn the native Americans & their culture into commodities?).  Hwy. 84 North:  snow on red clay, black cows roam, hills and mesas, thick juniper bushes; towns called Tecolotitio, Tucumcari (thank you, Linda Rondstadt), and Apache Springs.  A long and winding road, raven on a fencepost, abandoned cars, old pueblos, an empty roundpen, a house made of earth stone, sprigs of yellow grass arching out of the snow, the tops of mesas shrouded in fog, small birds scatter, boulders appear and disappear, everything turning....unfolding.
