In the morning we got up to have breakfast with one of Heather's best friends since high school, Steve. The early (for us) breakfast was to catch Steve between commitments. Steve is sharp and funny, and it was interesting to see Heather talking with someone she's known longer than me about things that predate our relationship. Hopefully it won't be as when we get together again. Heather actually wanted her picture taken with Steve, which means a lot.
We rolled down the hill from Albuquerque to Las Cruces, where for only the second time in the 14 years I've owned it the Land Cruiser got 19 mpg. Downhill, with a slight tail wind. We stayed with Heather's mother for a couple nights, then we were back on the road to Mesa for a couple days of eye and medical appointments and to scrounge up a copy of the Solara convertible title.
As it turns out there was some sort of confusion with the account numbers that kept the credit union from sending me the title with the lien released after I finished paying it off. Mysteriously, there was not enough confusion to keep them from taking my payments for years. At least they released it later the same day, so now we can complete its sale to Heather's brother Rex.
The night before Thanksgiving we stayed at a hotel across the street from Metrocenter Mall. Across the parking lot is Castles and Coasters, which was a large arcade when I was in high school, and is now a small amusement park. Together they seemed bigger than the entire town of Prescott when I was growing up.
