New Mexico style

When the arroyo gets a bit too aggressive, and wind threatens to take what’s left of the road, when you’re hard-pressed against the canyon wall, and there’s not much space for a rig to squeeze through, you know what to do. Put those old cars to work. The seat needs reupholstering, but marvel that 60, 70, 80 years later, the steel holds its rust lazily, the chrome sparkles, and the headlight might still work if only the other parts cooperate.

Maybe I need some erosion control, too.
