66 Motor Palace

Hobo Life We planned to be in Winslow September 28th-October 6th but events unknown until recently prevented me from being gone. Lori scheduled the time off last December and is unable to to change her schedule on late notice so she drove out alone and spent a few days with her parents. There's a Metrolink station walking distance from the shop and the Motor Palace on the other end so I decided to give the train a shot. The ride goes overnight and I figured I'd sleep my way to Winslow. I was seated next to a nice lady from a few hours outside Kansas City Missouri. She was born in an insane asylum and raised in an orphanage, the widow of a railroad man she has a nice pension. Her sons live in California and she came out last year to live with them. After her oldest son slashed her youngest son's throat (he's ok and they still share a trailer) she told them she was going to take a vacation.

Seligman! We scored again at Snow-Cap! Last summer's rooftop show with John Delgadillo's band was followed up with a performance by Angel's band. Seligman is one of the best stops on Route 66, the Delgadillo family makes sure everyone has a good time. Angel is the person credited with organizing the movement to save Route 66. He may also be the inventer of fun. Here's a link.  Angel Delgadillo  then go read all the Wikipedia stuff and visit him, you'll be happy you did!

Lori's learning to be a goat farmer by starting seedlings in egg shells. When they sprout she'll plant them in pots on the balcony off our breakfast room. She got the idea from friends who checked out of So-Cal and are living the dream somewhere in the Oregon Sticks. You can follow their adventures here. Meanwhile, In The Sticks . Terry and Ginger are doing it right! I'm looking forward to the Hatch Chiles. This keeps the Crows out of Lori's Farm. I finally got my hands on an Atom Pop! Atom Pop was invented in 1952 and is manufactured by QuinCraft in Bushton Kansas, USA! This is a truly amazing product. All other popcorn poppers and methods should be outlawed. Seriously this thing cooks perfect popcorn every time. Follow the instructions exactly and you can't lose and it's even easy to clean. Here's a link to  JBH Products  , they're real nice people and they have the QuinCraft connection. Order one, you'll thank me...order two they make great g...
