  1. OK, so this hilariious [ I think so ] gif is from the Coen Bros. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)

    In the IMBD 'goofs-factual errors' it says The sign on the bank in "Near Algodones" says "Tucumcari." The banker also refers to Tucumcari. The two towns are actually over 150 miles apart. .

    The only Algondones I can find is just across from Yuma where the little pointy end of Mexicali threatens to destroy America. As you can see from the map above, Tucumcari is indeed over 150 miles away from Los Algodones. So, the Coens are making a fictional movie and I'm not gonna freak because they picked two Southwest -named places that don't fit a map. I'm guessig that Yuma is just too boring a name so they picked another. Now, Tumacacori is South of Tucson and about 225 mi. in a straight line to Yuma. Also truly more than 150 miles away.

    [ dammit , a task just intruded]

    There's no Tucumcari or Tumacacori in MEX or CA.
    So basically, wtf is IMDB talking about? San Diego? Lake Havasu?

    Ummmmm, that's all I got.

    1. Algodones, NM is midway between ABQ and Santa Fe, sandwiched between Santa Ana and San Felipe pueblos (google maps "san felipe nm" you'll see it).

      There is a town called Budaghers, which consists of an abandoned bar. The Mormon Batallion Memorial is there, and an abandoned outdoor mall called Tradiciones! which has a whirligig sculpture garden and an aeolian harp

      Tucumcari, NM is about 200 miles from there over roads (maybe 150 as the crow flies)

        1. It doesn't have much of a web presence. Apart from those attractions there is a mural on a decaying barn of three calavera musicians. Nobody famous lives there.

    "Hey Doc, do I have any questions? "
    "Whoa, I guess I do."
    "Thanks."

      2. It seems all ths weekend that each hour the scope of this story infinitely expands. It is hard to keep up. The insanity and shamelessness of it all is chilling.

        1. I tried to keep it all at arm's distance this weekend, with some level of success. Until I just watched the impeachment specials on MSNBC. Still, though, I didn't scream or break anything.

          2. I have a DVR, which means I never have to see or hear things I don't want to see or hear. Still, I'm wearing out remote batteries at a record pace smashing the mute button.
