Donald Judd concrete boxes, grey in the pale field
the Food Shark truck, best falafels we've had in this country, maybe even better than the place in the Marais
old painted store fronts, worn away, mismatched with what's inside
it's so cold! sun warms but not enough
sad to see my poncho go for warmer wear
Marfa book store, only good books, bought a mug, only $4.50
peed at the Exxon station, bought lifesavers because I felt bad
streets dotted with broken buildings and art galleries
Chinati foundation, the beautiful sculptress, tall and thin, with long brown hair was our guide
pink green yellow blue pink green yellow blue
so cold
cats scattered around, sleeping in hay
guest house, internet access, gas fireplace, haven from the cold
margaritas at the Paisano Hotel, where Giant was filmed
the Thunderbird Hotel lounge, the bartender who didn't know anything, "I'm only filling in," the portraits of locals on the walls, the concrete benches
Maiya's, so fancy, red lights, hot waiter, despair at missing the Big Bend Coffee owners, delicious pork and caprese, lovely meal
feels like 17 degrees in Ft. Davis, camping, hell no!
drinking, the fire, Elliott Smith, I left the graham cracker on the fridge
breakfast at the Brown Recluse
organic fair trade coffee, eggs and pancakes and Anna Karenina
Judd's titanium boxes in the hangar, the 10AM lights, the scrub, the reflection and the reflected
soft hot sharp bent clean harsh light mirage
eerie Soviet school, controlled decay
the nervous pretentious tour guide Miguel
Chamberlain cars, the foam sculpture, softest bed yet, lie down, roll around
the Pizza Foundation, no mushrooms!, ok, half mushrooms
our faces are falling off, one wind-burned flake at a time
