MAY 21, 17 .. PUEBLO, COLORADO
I am going to begin here by asking My Buddy ‘Zilla a quick question. I must tell you, and ‘Zilla understands full-well that ..
I DO NOT ASK TRICK QUESTIONS.
Here we go.
” ‘Zilla? What do you see below my friend?”
“Cap I see a telephone.”
” ‘Zilla, you just earned, a hard-to-earn, ‘ATTA-BOY’ ! ”
I will NOT ask ‘Zilla the following question.
“Why is having a telephone ..”
“Here in my room at the Santa Fe Inn in Pueblo, Colorado, a big deal?”
It is a big-deal to have a telephone in my room here ..
BECAUSE !! At Ye Ol’ Downtown Motel in Trinidad, Colorado ..
I DID NOT have a telephone in my room at the above motel in Trinidad, CO.
Happiness sure can be different things at different times can’t it?
Where was I ? .. Where was I going here ? .. Got It.

Pueblo, Colorado.
Yesterday, Saturday the 20th of May, I had a very, easy-duty, 85-mile drive up here to Pueblo from Trinidad. It took me just under 2-hours.
A few photos I snapped ‘along-the-way’ to show you what Southeast Colorado looks like along the Interstate 25 corridor.
I must have snapped 10 photos to get the one below.
Into Pueblo I arrived and went straight to my motel.
The Santa Fe Inn & Suites, Pueblo, Colorado.
Knowing-The-Ropes, I got here at 3pm, so I was very early for my check-in.
“Yes Sir! We have your reservation! Smoking room! Upstairs on the 2nd floor.”
Knowing-The-Ropes, I got here very early for a check-in, because, if you show-up late-in-the-day or worse in-the-evening you have either little, or absolutely NO CHOICE of which room you will get.
“Your name please?” .. “Melissa Sir.” .. “Melissa I am not able to climb stairs. I do NOT smoke, never-have-never-will. What can we do here?”
“No problem Sir. I will do some ‘juggling-for-you’. Juggle Juggle Juggle. Got it Sir. Downstairs. Right next to the office here. Handicapped Parking Space. Newly and completely renovated room.”
“Lord God in Heaven Above, why exactly do all of these good things keep happening to me in my life?”
“Melissa. You are wonderful.”
“Thank You So Very Much Melissa.”
“Sir you are most welcome. Anything I can do to assist you please dial ‘0’ on your room phone.”
I did not say the words out-loud but I thought to myself,
“My God! I get a phone in my room?”
Into my room in Pueblo, Colorado we walk.
Are you all sitting-down so you don’t fall over and hurt yourselves? The above room here in Pueblo cost me twenty-nine cents ($0.29) a day more that the below room in Trinidad that was tiny and had no telephone.
“Oh My God! I have died-and-gone-to-Heaven.”
“Careful My Little Captain about what you are saying.” /God here Captain /
Notice below, if you will, the stuffed, easy-chair, in the right corner of the room.
“Hello Dad. Come on over and sit down with me for a minute-or-two.”
Notice my feet in the below photo! As I sit in Mister Easy Chair above!
“Dad. I will be your ‘table’ for you to sit at and for you to enjoy your breakfast of Raisin Bran Cereal, Ensure Chocolate Drink / Water, Kashi Food Bar, Unsalted Mixed Nuts and your vitamins.”
“Very nice Mister Easy Chair!”
A closer look at some of my amenities. Nice table for my laptop. Large, flat-screen T.V. Microwave. Refrigerator. Ironing Board with an iron.
Love .. Love .. LOVE the counter space.
Another question for ‘Zilla.
” ‘Zilla. What do you see in the below photos?”
“I see a ‘nifty’ laundry room Cap.”
” FREE, NO CHARGE, ‘Zilla!”
“Died and .. ” .. “Watch it My Little Captain!” / God here /

Oh My! I am so hungry I could eat a horse!

You all will never guess what is right-next-door to my motel.
MoMo Japanese Restaurant.
Looking at MoMo’s (on the center and / or the right) in relation to the Santa Fe Inn (on the left).
MoMo Japanese Restaurant.
Inside we go to experience the very nice ambiance at MoMo’s Japanese Restaurant.
The below photo shows my table and the stripped-lighting as the sun shone through the venetian blinds.
Now you understand the stripped-lighting-patterns on my delicious meal as you look at the photos below.
Excellent soup.
And now, the piece de resistance (the main course of a meal), Beef Teriyaki with Vegetables and Rice.
It equaled any of the best meals I have enjoyed in some time. I was ‘starving’ and the preparation of the entree was outstanding.
And now? Over-And-Out for now.
I hope you enjoyed this mini-odyssey! This mini-tome.
With Joy and Gratitude For My Many Blessings!

Yes, the reason having a telephone is such a big deal is that: at the Downtown Motel in Trinidad CO you had no phone … for the first time in motel rooms since November 28th … and that room, if I am correct, was more expensive than your present room in Pueblo CO, with not only a telephone, but ALL the listed amenities (FREE laundry, WOW), plus one you did not mention … a chair at your desk in addition to the comfy easy chair and ottoman. Thank you Melissa for being so helpful with the downstairs, no-smoking room. The snow on the mountain picture IS worth all the photos that preceded it! Your soup and teriyaki beef with rice and veggies looks yummy. Hugs. Patti
Thank You My Dear One. I have gone back to the Post and added a statement that the room in Pueblo cost me twenty-nine cents ($0.29) a day more than the room in Trinidad. Good point about the first time since November 28th I was in a room with no phone. The phone in our room in Needles, CA, had a phone but it did NOT work and again, like in Trinidad I had to go to the office to make calls. Also a good point about the exceptional chair in this room at my table with my laptop.
My little Nikon Cool Pix camera does not have the lens to bring in a far distant scene but it sure did the job on the snow on the mountain-top photo!
My meal at the Japanese Restaurant, MoMo’s, was outstanding.
Love, Cap
Well, now, you’re getting a little beyond basic with this room. Phone, free laundry, furniture….. I can see it now:
Dear Priceline: Book me for two months at the Blue Sky Hotel, Presidential suite. I must have a phone and free laundry from now on. I will not regress. s/Kahn
Yes but, the Pueblo room was twenty-nine cents ($0.29) a day more expensive than the room in Trinidad. I failed to mention that in the Post. Yes, one someday I do plan to stay a night at the Blue Sky Hotel in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. NOT in the Presidential Suite however.
