Annie caught him circling us. By "caught" I mean "photographed." By "circling" I mean "menu-planning." |
I wasn't even concerned until the mail truck dropped off the Acme Can Opener.
I've got a crush on you, Ajo.


I stood directly across the street to photograph this mural.
A woman came out and showed me where to stand for the best shot.

In case you didn't see this in the photo. I didn't, either. |
This is in a big barn called ____ _____ Exports.

I was instantly in fourth grade... |
 |
...the time I spent fourth grade in the Sahara. Excuse me, where are the glass coffee-table grapes? |

She's got pigeolettes in there, too. |
We browsed through a barn full of old stuff. At the back were several shelves of 25¢ books. Put your money in this basket, please.
Annie bought me lunch at Marcela's, where we dined on PBJs and french fries al fresco. The fries were al dente, and the sandwich al pacino. Cool breeze, bougainvilleas in bloom, iced tea; it was a good time.
A shop owner told us Ajo is "Southern Exposure." I've always said I wanted a town like "Cicely, AK." Coincidence? Probably!

We found this saguaro on our hike yesterday.
"Saguaro! Why are you in the refrigerator?"
"Isn't this a Crestinghouse? Well, I'm cresting!" |
