I love your story about The Lariat and wish it was still there. Fallon's an interesting town. While reading your Fallon bit here, I remembered checking out of the Best Western and said to the Shoshone woman desk clerk, "we've been here for three days and it's time to go home and feed the dog." Without skipping a beat, she calmly said, "yeah, he's probably getting hungry by now." It always cracks me up to remember her. Even as I write this.
Ahh, yes...I remember this piece with great specificity & fondness. Your eye for visual/verbal detail is stunning! & your line "As always, the word “Kitchenettes” makes me happy"...makes me happy. I love a kitchenette (or a dinette) in any context.

Bravo Paul....your work is inspiring!
Thank you, Sebastian. The feeling is truly mutual. Tonya just told me to drop whatever I'm doing and read your latest.
