Taratulas? YIKES!!!! Please, oh, please, tell me they're not going in your next book!!!!!!!
Oops, make that tarantulas. See it scares me even to spell it!
Wow, Colleen, it sounds amazing. How fun! What a great place to write - no phone, no tv, no internet. Where is it again?
Anyway, welcome home. :)
Love, Rachel
Yes, as Rachel says, sounds like a great place to write. Inspiring!
Tarantulas crossing the road? They must be some BIG spiders. Shiver, shiver. Wonder if Brandilyn went to this place while researching spiders? GRIN
Thanks for sharing, Colleen.
LOL.....welcome to my world! I LIVE with those hairy spiders.
and LOL on the no highspeed internet...bet it about put you in conniption fits, huh? LOL
ah c'mon ... you weren't really tryin' with that radio dial! El Paso has 2 NPR stations (both in English), Alpine has a strong AM station full of community news and 1940s-1950s music, plus an FM CW station ... and Marfa has a smallish radio station that bradcasts within the city limits [they play all sorts of things from jazz to hip-hop, so maybe you just hit it on a "Catholic moment."). We're not as back country as city folks like to think we are - but hey, if you had a good time out here, that's what counts! Thanks for visiting.
I'm afraid there will have to be a tarantula or two, Di, for the book to be accurate. I'll try to keep it non scary at that point. LOL
Rachel, are you crazy? You WANT no email? LOL
Mary, I didn't try AM--I didn't even think of it. LOL We weren't in El Paso very long, but I let the radio scan through three times and found only Spanish. Last night coming home I did find an oldies station that we listened to. We weren't in El Paso long. Most of the time was east in the Alpine area and down to Big Bend.
Where do you live, Mary? I love west Texas! It was really gorgeous
Robin, do you really have tarantulas where you live? Gulp. In all these years of visiting Arizona, I've never seen a black widow or a tarantula. I couldn't believe I saw so many of the big hairy monsters!
Bring on the tarantulas.
And how about scorpions? Now there's an evil critter. I've got the funniest story about a scorpion. Well, funny because it didn't happen to me. My grandmother--severe sort of Pennsylvania Dutch Christian woman and total nondrinked--got stung by one during her missionary days in India. The pain was so intense she stumbled to her bathroom to find whatever she could take. She found a bottle left there by some guest who'd recently stayed. I don't know what she thought it was, but in her severe pain she drank it. It was scotch or whiskey or something. Got her good and drunk. That would have been a sight to see. At least soon after that she was feelin' no pain...
Oh my goodness, that's hilarious, Brandilyn! Well, not the pain part, but what followed.
Hilarious, Brandilyn! I didn't see any scorpions, though I've seen them in AZ. UGLY!
Tehehe . .. if you want the book to start off with a bang, you could have your characters start in Dallas taking the Amtrak and it taking about 18 hours to get to Big Bend! I haven't been there, but this is what happened when my parents and my brother's family made the trip several years back. tehehe . ..they didn't find it very funny then.
Tarantulas!?!?! EEK! Must be why we didn't go for the trip!
As for the lack of radio stations. Sounds like an excellent place to use a FM tramsmitter for an iPod! Something I'm always looking for here in Dallas!
I'm Glad you enjoyed you visit to My Home State of Texas.
We'll have to do something about the tarantulas,Before you come again. ;)
Had it not been 536 miles from San Antonio, I would've met you in Big Bend. So excited your next setting with encompass that awesome area. Come back for rattlesnake hunting time!
Love Big Bend. We rode a skiff across the Rio Grande and a burro into Boquillas. Saw the Marfa Lights--thought we were looking at pasture spotlights and airplanes landing until they started jumping around. (No, we were not hitting the Peyote pop) And watched a Blue Norther come in and dump snow on us in Alpine--aptly named, for sure--at Easter Break. You write it, I'll read it. : )
Hugs~
