The Newest of Mexicos
Posted by TFG on 30th July 2007
So, I’m in Albuquerque for two nights. I should be headed to a casino for some poker, but I’m tired and sore and my head hurts. This LaQuinta (I’m back to sleeping on the shoulder of the interstate) smells horrible and I’m a smoker. I’m sure it’s something they douse the carpet with, but lord, it’s a very hippie smell, like incense crap or something. Guh.
I flew Express Jet out here, and I can say without reservation that it was the best airline experience I’ve had in literally years. XM Radio for everybody, an actual, real, very decent sandwich served for free, and $1 beers. If it hadn’t been 10am, I would have had a few. Friendly service, too. I recommend them to you if you can get them.
ABQ is a nice little town, with plenty of golf and decent weather. Lots of earthy, green types, though…that could get to be a whipping. Maybe I’ll gin up some energy and go find some decent food tomorrow, but I’ve got a full day of meetings, so it’ll probably be another crap burger.
Can I also mention how much I detest basic cable teevee? I wish I still had a spring in my step, so I didn’t have to sit here and rest, and could go find a saloon to sit in for a while. Bah, aging.
NB: For future reference, the classical station here in old Albuquirky is 95.5.
