Although I didn't go to Duncan HS, I remember once going through county spelling bee (Greenlee), I didn't make it to state tho. Some little 2nd grader did. Duncan has a nice pizza restaurant we frequented called Humble Pie, you could get fried tomatoes 🍅 for a topping. Out in York there was a restaurant called Gimmes I think? Then the point outta there is Three Way, actually a 4-Way intersection with an old drive in theater and a pitstop l. Phelps Dodge of course raised me and paid for my K-12 education. Lordsburg is about an hour from Duncan. We spent lots of time in Lordsburg working for the cage fights. From the east, taking Three Way through the Blackjack Mtns. Will take you to Glenwood if you take a left, and Silver City if you take a right. Glenwood is home of the Catwalk. Silver City is the home of Dirty Harry. The whole layout is shaped like a crescent moon. 🌙 

"Men do not turn from God so easily you see. Not so easily. Deep in each man is the knowledge that something knows of his existence. Something knows, and cannot be fled nor hid from. To imagine otherwise is to imagine the unspeakable. It was never that this man ceased to believe in God. No. It was rather that he came to believe terrible things of Him." 

Maybe aliens. 👽 That geography lesson just about covers Billy's and his brother Boyd's 'final destination'; I left my phone behind today and went on an adventure across town. Bringing it along was just excessive, and it's not even like I need to keep people updated or to even take pictures. I figure Cormac McCarthy led a mysterious life, I ache to read some biography that tells us what he was up to. There must've been a lot of horseback 🐎 riding. I've been reading words under my breath and what a fun Rabelaisan ilk & ink writer, I mean talk about Logorrheic, every flowery detail is just robust with sagacity. & Just thinking about Cormac saddling through Duncan turns me on. 

"She said that to be a woman was to live a life of difficulty and heartbreak and those who said otherwise simply had no wish to face the facts."

Folks back home should read this one. 🤌🏻
