Life in Pictures

Joey found the noise made by the wind-up machine gun very entertaining. Joey crying over a cartoon baby on TV that only had one sock on. She wanted to pull it out of the TV and put a sock on her.
She was crying “big tears,” and when Tammy couldn’t help, she went and pulled Daryl into the room but he couldn’t help either.  

She's hugging Elmo like it was a real child. You can see the love pouring out of her eyes, but she's no pushover either


Pete posed for a picture in front of the Route 66 oversized highway sign. 




Old U.S. Route 66 runs through the heart of Tucumcari via Route 66 Boulevard, which was previously known as Tucumcari Boulevard from 1970 to 2003 and as Gaynell Avenue before that time. Numerous businesses, including gasoline service stations, restaurants and motels, were constructed to accommodate tourists as they traveled through on the Mother Road. A large number of the vintage motels and restaurants built in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s are still in business despite intense competition from newer chain motels and restaurants in the vicinity of Interstate 40, which passes through the city's outskirts on the south. 




Dr X nearly got me killed. 







A hockey stick has a “blade” that is more or less horizontal
(image here) and then turns sharply towards the vertical at the “elbow.” 










A hockey stick has a “blade” that slants down from the tip (image here) and then turns sharply upwards at the “elbow.” If the numbers along the bottom represent weeks and the numbers along the side represent income for a new business, the line will come to resemble a hockey stick, if the business has a good idea, a good plan and the owner puts forth a good effort.
