I've Decided On...

Bisbee, Arizona. That's where my wall of stolen clocks will hang.

 

 

Just a few miles from the border so I won't have far to run when this country's governemt sets loose the dogs.

Quite a town, this Bisbee. You're welcome to join us. Bisbee is an old mining town southeast of Tombstone, more southeast of Tuscon. High enough to stay cool, cheap enough to be easy, beautiful like magazines. The mine ate shit in the 70's and the drop-outs and artists filled in the holes. A former stae legislator on the patio of the Copper Queen Hotel told me the best part of Bisbee is the second hand smoke. It gets you high, he tells me.

 

Never seen a place quite like Bisbee. We'll be seeing a lot of it now. You're welcome to join us. You can stay at the Shady Dell.
