Jahova's Whitness and the Tourquoise Toilet or a Little bit of Vegas in Vega

Left work about 3:45. Had a relatively uneventful drive to Amarillo. Although seeing a herd of camels on the side of the road was a bit surprising.

Though we did see a herd, this specimen is the famous "Camel Rock" north of Santa Fe.

Got a little rain on the road to Amarillo that washed off the bugs on the windshield, only to repeat the process with their 6 legged cousins. Circle of life.

Stopped in the Golden Light Cafe, in Amarillo, our usual first destination. They were kind enough to grill us up some excellent burgers 10 minutes before closing time. We remembered the staff from last year and they remembered us. Then we crossed the street to the Blue Gator to have a beer and update the dollar bills we have on the wall with todays date. We were there 366 days ago. Pretty good timing. Then back across the street to the cantina to listen to some live music. Not a bad band. But we were getting a little weary, so we decided to find a room for the night. As luck would have it, there was a Jehovah's Witness convention it town that had taken all hotel rooms in Amarillo. The night manager at the Comfort Inn kindly phoned ahead to the Bonanza Motel in Vega to secure us a room. 30 miles down the road and we were ensconced in turquoise and pink tile. So the reason for the title: we have a turquoise toilet.
