The Spam museum was my favorite
If you ever find yourself in High Point NC, check out the world's largest chest of drawers. Way more interesting than the Spam Museum. Right in your home state is Lucy the Margate Elephant. Give her a shot on a slow day. The furniture manufacturing Capitol of the world, or so it used to be known… Maybe still is. There were a few entrepreneurs in our area that made a living just driving back and forth, picking up loads of furniture and selling at the roadside at a generous mark up. “Hey, buddy! Wanna buy a couch? I got one here, clean as a whistle. The old lady will love this early American print”… Truckload sales. Almost forgotten. A local Tractor Supply consorted with one of those truckload meat sales recently. It was a company with really poor reviews. We used to do truck load plant sales at Home Depot and Lowe’s. It was all fake. We just had to leave an empty trailer on the lot…

I remember where you are. Pueblo, Colorado! Right? Yes, although I usually specify Pueblo West. We are separate. A miles to the west of Pueblo and mostly a bedroom community. We have little crime here, the gangs are on the east side of Pueblo, and that’s where most of our nation-leading auto theft occurs. Leading the nation for some six years or so running…

A friend of mine told me back in the 80s that Pueblo was the sex-change capital of America. Be careful there Inger!

Have you no decency Kaybli? What has been seen can't be unseen.

A friend of mine told me back in the 80s that Pueblo was the sex-change capital of America. Be careful there Inger! Actually the sex-change Capitol was Trinidad, about 2 hours to our south, near the New Mexico border. The reputation was huge, but it was really one doctor who was very busy. I think he retired in maybe the 80’s or 90’s. There are several of the “Colorful Colorado” signs like the one Kaybli shows with me on the bicycle. One is just south of Trinidad, as you cross Raton Pass to enter Colorado. To me, it’s one of the more dramatic state borders anywhere… A mountain pass, the transition from flat top mountains and canyons to craggy peaks. I think I’d like Trinidad, except that it sits on an earthquake fault. Lower population, more rustic and with more of a mountain, cougars, bears, oh my! feeling…

Thanks for the correction Inger. I do recall that she did in fact say Trinidad. I guess I got squeamish and lost track of my geography.
