AZ pictures.

Rattlesnakes exit sign: it does exist.

Why would anyone exit here, I wonder?

I just barely got this picture, hence the horrible quality. I whipped the camera around as we flew past it at 70 miles an hour.



We were waiting for my friend's husband to come back from the gas station when my friend noticed the strange hand above the sign. I laughed and laughed.



Nice scenery. Probably New Mexico or something.



Moony landscape part one.



Moony landscape part two.



Another landscape.



Windmills! I'm obsessed, I admit. Oklahoma.



That last smudge of light before the sun disappears. Oklahoma again, I think.

Perhaps it is not an invitation, but a command to the rattlesnakes to vacate the highway at that point? Best rattlesnake truckstop here! Mice 2-for1!

That is the sort of sign that makes me consider not getting out of my car for the rest of the state.

That sign has always intrigued me. I have some strange vision of an old man holding rattlesnakes and waiting patiently for customers every day. And yet they dwindle. Fewer and fewer people care for his wares. The sign he built as a young man rusts and slowly deteriorates. Who will take up his work? One day there will be no one to deal in deadly serpents and the world will forget his lesson.
