El Paso: The Cloud Goddess Comes

December 2016

Saturday afternoon, the last day of the year.

I turned east onto Mesa Road, one of El Paso's major arteries, and on the west side of the city, a long, congested trail of generica, a series of traffic lights to pass under.

But not today.

The goddess slipped from the heavens to rest on the shoulders of the Franklin Mountain line.
