An uneventful day

Our drive from Russellville, Arkansas to Amarillo, Texas today proved to be a relatively uneventful one.  We didn't stop anywhere of interest. No postcards. We didn't stop because there did not seem to be any place of interest near I-40. We tried to find a railroad museum in Oklahoma City near I-40 that was on the Rand-McNally map, but it didn't register on the iPhone Maps app, and we couldn't find it. So we just kept going. We drove the entire length of Oklahoma and halfway across the Texas Panhandle. We did listen to several lectures on Native American History,  which are revelatory, and also several chapters of an Alexander McCall Smith novel, Teatime for the Traditionally Built, which is, of course, delightful. The lectures are essentially a history of the United States told from the standpoint of the indigenous peoples who were here when the Europeans arrived. We are accustomed to hearing this narrative from the standpoint of the "victors" - us white Europeans. It is both more horrendous and more positive when told from the perspective of the indigenous peoples. We ate breakfast at the motel, lunch from our food box in the car and supper at a Subway. The latter part of the trip the weather turned cold and very windy. The Texas Panhandle is a pretty desolate place, especially in a strong wind. We are now only about 280 miles from Santa Fe, so we have an easy drive tomorrow. Maybe we'll go by a place called Cadillac Ranch which is reputedly west of Amarillo:
