Old motels

I am taking a break from the employment situation to talk about the old motels that I stayed at when I was a kid. thanks to Google Street View. I am able to view street scenes of small towns like Lordsburg, NM and Van Horn, TX and check to see if those old motels are still around.

Sadly, I can say for certain that the old Seven Kay Motel in Van Horn has been torn down while the old Best Western American Motor Inn is still around, but it seems to be a shell of its old self. The Flying W Lodge in Ozona is still around, but it has been taken over by Travelodge chain.

I think that it is sad that in today's cookie cutter world that the old motels are falling by the wayside and falling into disrepair.

Another repreive

Retirements from some of the library staff is giving me new life in my library work here. Now that I am almost back to full-time, I can have Joseph finish his Kindergarten here with no problems and that my look for work will not be as frantic. It is my guess that my stay here will be until June 30 or thereabouts as the uncertain budget situation will cast a shadow over the library at that time.

With that in mind, I am hoping to get a library position in Casa Grande, Henderson, NV or somewhere in South Texas.

A reprieve

I am now still on half-time, but through the generosity of a fellow church member, I will be able to stay until the end of April. At least my son Joseph will finish most of Kindergarten without missing much and I can stay here where I can be reached by various libraries that I applied for.

The job hunt is a big waiting game and it grates on me a bit, but I must put my trust in God and HE will sustain me.
