All Hail Holiday Inn Express!

The problem with driving on absolutely no sleep is, you have to pull over to nap a lot. I thought I'd be doing more writing on the way, but both in Flagstaff and Holbrook all I did was sleep.
 
Right now I'm in Gallup, parked at a Holiday Inn Express. This particular line of motels seems to have gone in for wireless internet in all its outlets. I'm loving it. But I'm also looking at the sky and wondering if I'm making a mistake stopping here. The sun is shining down uncomfortably hot on my face, but tiny flakes of snow are falling, making distinct "tap taps" on my windshield.
 
Well, I was starting to fall asleep just waiting at the light to turn into this parking lot, so it would behoove me to snooze a bit regardless. With any luck I-40 E will continue to be passable when I wake up.
 
Oh. And a couple hundred more words. Yippie!
