I obviously had mysterious lights on my mind at dinner. After I had finished mopping up the last of the cream gravy, I headed West toward Marfa, Texas, home of the famous Marfa Mystery lights. I arrived at the viewing area just as the sun was setting, and after a short wait was rewarded by watching the lights appear and swoop lazily around in the field next to the highway. They really are thrilling to see. On the drive back, I had to swerve to avoid a family of javelinas crossing the two lane road. What a wonderful evening!
