Day 262 Breaking Bad, Remember My Name

Day 262
I'm a huge Breaking Bad fan.  I'm sure Sam will be too.  The 5th and final season begins Sunday, August 11 on AMC.

I bought Sam's porkpie hat at Larry's Hats on Central in Albuquerque.  While I was there, several calls for this style hat came in from people taking the Breaking Bad tour.  The green bag is from Urban Outfitters...they gave it to me in Denver when I was back to school shopping.

This last season was a closely guarded secret with the crew.  I know they worked really hard this season, and they have my respect and love for the work they do.

Each day is a gift, open now.

Day 253 Spanish Market, Santa Fe, New Mexico

Day 253
As I do every year I am in town...I go Spanish Market in Santa Fe.  What makes me get up at 4am, coffee laden,  drive up to Santa Fe?  Why so early?  Because I have been buying skeleton art there for years. In the contemporary section, there are many fine artists whose subject matter is skeletons and skull.
Sam in tow we drove with our friend Daniel as the sun rose over the mountains on our right, and the flat topped mesas on our left.  At 7AM the crowds have not massed.

Sam gets her first view of Santa Fe's Plaza.

A rare photo of me, and Sammie Sam taken by our friend Daniel.

I cannot remember this wonderful artist's name...if it comes to me I will change this.
