And we’re off to the magnificent El Paisano Hotel. And then we have, alas, a downright un-magnificent dinner.

At the last minute, the Gingerbread House is saved! And then...it vanishes. (Sigh).

More on Marfa, and we begin the sinister construction of the recalcitrant Gingerbread House.

Just a happy thanksgiving...and turkey blimp. #Thanksgiving #Marfa #turkey #balloon

The life and curious times of Judge Roy Bean, “Law West of the Pecos,” Part 1.
