Sometimes I just get powerfully inexplicably homesick for the little desert town I lived in 2013-2015 when I was fresh out of college and in AmeriCorps!
#most people would call it ugly I think! most people would not say that it was charming or that it had a distinctive small town character#though many would agree that it was in the middle of a beautiful place#it had 6000 people and was on a highway#'downtown' was a mix of every major fast food chain and weird little small-town everything stores and very good family-owned Mexican food#there was a 135-degree difference between the hottest and coldest temperatures I ever experienced there#it rarely rained and when it did the air smelled strongly of either sage and juniper or cowshit#depending on which way the wind was blowing#there were two bars in town so if I wanted to go out I had to decide between the one where I#would inevitably see my elementary students ('family-friendly' pub) or the one where I would inevitably see a barfight#if you drove 15 minutes out of town you would come to a massive canyon where you could sit on a cliff with no one around and#play guitar as the sun set#I was only there for two years and I am a city slicker in my bones but it made its mark
