So this regional adobe thing? It’s beginning to annoy me. Seriously? Who is enforcing this? Is it just a practical thing? Is the material cheap?

Once again, I can’t imagine what it must be like to see such beauty every day. More than likely, most of the people here have become numb to it. More’s the tragedy. Now, it being Monday, I could have gone inside, used the bathroom, scoped the place out, but I didn’t. It was still morning and my next stop was going to receive an extended visit. I gassed up the car and flew back down the highway and I quickly reached the outskirts of…
