The Micro.blog challenge word for day 14 is “statue”. Without a doubt the most ambitious statue/monument we’ve seen is Crazy Horse, started by one guy 1948, and still far from finished. Here’s a model of the finished product, and the current state in the background. 📷 #mbsept

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 13 is “glowing”. We’re looking forward to attending the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta again next month (hopefully with better weather this year!). A fun feature is the morning glow, where they light up balloons in the pre-dawn dark. 📷🎈 #mbsept

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 12 is “panic”. We have a “Don’t Panic” sticker on the back our our motorhome. The sticker comes from The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, so seemed double-appropriate for full-time travelers. 📷 #mbsept

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 11 is “retrospect”. When people think in retrospect of famous US battles, the Alamo is often one of the critical turning points, despite (or rather due to) being an epic loss. “Remember the Alamo!” 📷 #mbsept
