IH10 West

Recently i drove the western "half" of Interstate 10 through Texas and most of central New Mexico. I was passed, and passed a number of trucks carrying the same cargo, a load of these triangular shaped metal pieces- headed west. It took me a while before i realized what they were! Maybe because they were not yet painted black! By my totally unscientific calculations that would take 655 truckloads to equal a mile of border wall.Thats about eight miles of trucks parked end to end to carry one mile of unneeded wall. I have no idea how trucks it will take to carry the black paint.

Was it really 50 years ago?

We sat on mattresses on the floor in the house on Avenue G talking for hours about all the serious topics in the universe and still found things to laugh about?
