a little slab city hospitality

Spent a relaxing day visiting Robin & Marty. We had a great dinner, lots of fun convo while getting caught up, and visits from the locals about the drama of the day. Yes, it permeates even this picture perfect community of off grid living bliss. Basically it all falls under the kind of things that happen to those who don't avoid the typical garden variety ... mentally challanged types. I don't really know what happened since I kind of tuned out at "did you hear what happened to ... ???" The temps here have been great and it's a lot less crowded than last year this time. Robi says a lot of the hippies who are usually here went to Guatemala to die since they thought that was ground zero of the Mayan prophecy. All I know is there's a lot less people noise and more open desert to enjoy. Good times! It's a little past noon now and about time for us to resume our trek back to Austin.

  1. So, you like it? I kinda think we would, too, but I hear so many naysayers.

    1. I love the place and have never felt unsafe. Still it's definitely not for beginners, and best to have someone who knows their way around to show you what's what there.

  2. Looks like a good time with friends. Poor Bridgette was worn out from the excitement I see.

    1. Oh it was! Funny thing about Bridgette, she did that right after we arrived. It was only a three hour drive too.
