I Found A Car In The Airport Terminal

At the ABQ airport, while chasing Candy Corn Bow Tie On A Shelf o’ the Day around, I found a lowrider on display which spoke to my artistic bent. It’s a ’47 Chevrolet Fleetline, and it happens to be in the Lowrider Hall of Fame, according to the plaque by its display. Dandy paint job! I would love to have seen it jump though.

As much as I like being on vacation, when it’s time to go home, I just want to get there. Apparently, I was so excited to be heading home at the ABQ airport that I did a neckwear two-fer— by wearing a plaid, wood, magnet Bow Tie o’ the Day on my t-shirt AND a Breast Cancer Awareness Month Tie o’ the Day around my neck.

Hey, I’m gonna tie up our Taos visit in tomorrow’s posts if at all possible, and I’ll give you our all-around opinion about the place. Hint: Taos is kind of a “meh,” but kind of a do-over.

A Scamp On The Loose

When we were at the Albuquerque airport, waiting to board the plane for our flight home, Candy Corn Bow Tie On A Shelf o’ the Day kept me hopping. (It’s a good thing I’m a Delta Rabbit and am skilled at hopping.) Bow Tie was here, there, and everywhere. It refused to sit still and read a book or otherwise relax while waiting for our flight time.

The airport happened to be hosting a display of prize-winning lowriders. I was lucky to nab Bow Tie before it leaped into this incredibly modified white Impala. And then, suddenly, Bow Tie took $20 out of my pocket and bought lottery tickets to share with us. We won a whole $2, which means I only lost $18 on Bow Tie’s attempt for us to become wealthy.

I think Candy Corn Bow Tie On A Shelf o’ the Day’s fave thing to do at the ABQ airport was play cowbow tie on the saddle we found at the front of an airport restaurant. But this episode made me very sad because Bow Tie’s saddle adventure caused me to deeply miss My Saddle Purse, which I don’t bring with me on my bigly air travels— due to space considerations. I near ’bout wept with purse-sickness.
