I left Winslow this AM continuing beside and on top of Route 66.
There was a sharp rise in elevation just east of Albuquerque ... rising high enough to support grazing for horses and cattle and cool and wet enough to support large forest tracts .... the land gradually became more barren and desert like as I made my way towards Amarillo, TX ....
The day started off sunny and cloudless but approaching Amarillo the horizon became very dark ... the kind of dark that portends bad things and sorry outcomes ... nightmares become reality ....
That's when I saw the lighthouse .... I know ... driving across the great plains and I saw a lighthouse ... too much cloaking liquid ..?? ... it must have been one fine morning, indeed. Not really ... I don't need the tequila now ... I am being slowly drawn in to Memphis ... but have a look here ....
And then I start seeing more of them ... that's when the horizon turned black and it started to rain ... could these plains lighthouses be friends ... sanctuaries ... Billy had mentioned them .... like the one in Santa Barbara, are they trying to point something out to me ...
I now start to see more wind turbines ... and I realize I am in a corridor of plains lighthouses and these turbines ... I am protected ... shielded ... I glance to my left to see the wind generator and I notice one is not turning ... I glance again and I can see it is Wind Generator 10 ... and then jut as quickly it starts rotating again ... that's odd ... yeah, right, what isn't ... but on the assumption that it did mean something what was it ... Wind Generator 10 ...
Sirius Radio is on ... I have it on the punk/new wave station ... a song begins to catch my attention ...'so let's sink another drink ...' ...... '...if I had a chance, I'd ask one to dance ....' I know that tune ... I haven't heard this version ... it ends and then the DJ runs down the playlist for the last 30 minutes .... 'and that last tune was the classic, 'Dancing With Myself' .... in it's original version by Mr. Idol when he was with Gen-X .... Gen-X ... wind Generator 10 .... Gen X .... then I see a sign ... Phillips 66 ... so it appears I am on friendly ground for the moment ...
OK ... so what ... I am thinking about this and the DJ starts rapping about a charity event in Memphis coming up in November ... and that Idol will be there for that ... and when there he alway's stays at the Gen X Inn ... so that's it ... a little bit of sanctuary in Memphis .... apparently the 'watcher' has enemies and therefore I have friends ... Memphis will be interesting ... now who are these friends ...
I have pulled up in Elk City, OK .... home of the National Museum of Route 66 ... oh yes where am I staying tonight ... in a Motel 6 on Route 66 ... what room ... 134 .... but 4+3-1 = 6 .... it's never easy ....
To quote from verse 1466 of the Krome Koan,
'Life is a series of temporary situations'
Sinking some cloaking material ...
