These boots were made for walking

out of four or five restaurants and three different hotels today. It was that kind of day. I would have loved to stay at the last motel I tried to get a room at (the decidedly down-at-heels Delta Motel), because no matter how sketchy and falling down it was, it was clean and the staff were terrific. And it was also $35 a night.

But for $35 (plus a $10 deposit) you don't get much. You certainly don't get wifi. So I headed down to the Quality Inn (which has served me well thus far). Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to post this picture of a dilapidated farm structure located on a main drag running through West Columbia. Partly because I wouldn't have wifi, but mostly just 'cause I wouldn't have seen it. Things do tend to work out.
