Traffic along old Route 66 in Tucumcari, New Mexico, circa 2010.
Photo by Brian Dean.
About a quarter mile or so east of the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari stands the Palomino Motel, another survivor from the golden age of Route 66, as seen in an undated photo by Brian Dean.
We’ve stayed here a couple of times, although certainly not recently. The Palomino was quite nice the first time around--a vast room and king-size bed. A swimming pool near the front enabled us to relax with the lights and sounds of Route 66 mere feet away. On a subsequent visit we arrived at night and, relishing a repeat experience, I asked when the pool closed. The man at the desk looked confused. The pool had been filled in years earlier. The room, however, was still nice.
Once a veritable Route 66 lodging oasis, Tucumcari and its motels struggled when I-40 took over in 1984. Travelers wanted the quick off-&-on motel or restaurant, not whatever was actually in the town. Motel rates dropped as surviving motels competed for dwindling customers. Retro tourism is helping places like the Blue Swallow attract customers in the 21st century. I’m not sure if the Palomino got the memo. Meanwhile all the lookalike chain inns clutter the area near the I-40 exits, charging higher prices for mundane & forgettable lodging.

SEO for Beginners: Rank #1 In Google in 2020
"This is why, in our society, work is closely related to, and often motivated by, guilt. To sweeten their view of work and provide positive motivation, the Puritans believed that honest toil, if persevered with, led to mundane and spiritual rewards. The modern equivalents of these archaic religious beliefs are:
i) Hard work is the main factor in producing material wealth.
ii) Hard work is character building and morally good.
The available statistics don’t support the belief that hard work leads to wealth – for example, US government figures from the eighties showed the average savings of a person reaching retirement age in North America to be less than $500. This is the typical level of financial reward a person can expect for forty years of full-time hard work – based on government data for an entire generation of working Americans.
Whatever its correlation with material wealth, hard work is undoubtedly seen as virtuous – the greatest tribute paid to the deceased seems to be “worked hard all his/her life”, although this epitaph sounds more appropriate for an item of machinery than a human being. There is, in fact, a lot of evidence to suggest that our work ethic is extreme and pathological in its effects. For example, a major UK survey (quoted recently by The Guardian) showed that 6 out of 10 British workers dislike their jobs, suffer insecurity and stress, fret over inadequate income, feel that their work isn’t of use to society, and find themselves exhausted by the time they get home. A 1995 National Opinion Poll (NOP) revealed that 50% of British workers say work makes them depressed, and 43% have problems sleeping because of work. So unless you regard stress-related illness as character building, these findings don’t really support the idea of work being morally uplifting.
The hard work ethic has also conditioned us to see happiness as something that must be earned through toil. In effect, this is saying you have to suffer in order to get happiness, or to put it another way, you must be unhappy to be happy. The underlying idea behind this insanity is that you are infinitely undeserving – that reward, ie happiness, will always be contingent upon the endurance of some unpleasant activity. The problem with this way of thinking is that it endlessly perpetuates itself – you can never totally relax because nobody ever comes along to say, once and for all, that you’ve worked enough (the religious beliefs which originally gave rise to this mindset don’t permit you to relax until after you’ve died)."
