Midnight at the oasis? Not quite, and obviously not as sultry as Maria Muldaur, but a dog and a motorcycle can be an attractive combination. I found this site linked over at Rugged Rider -- which I've been meaning to mention ever since reading about her ride to the Grand Canyon.
But, back to the oasis. For me, three words describe it: poetic, photographic, cathartic. There's something special about a guy when one of his favorite eating establishments is called Food Shark and the place serves its customers out of an old panel truck.
I'm reminded of my friend John, who has a similar truck; but he makes decals and window signs in the back of his, not Mediterranean-by-West-of-Texas food.



I was surprised to see your link to beemerchef's Oasis of My Soul site. Four of the Lost Trail Riders stopped by to say hello to Ara & Spirit the 29th, the day after your post. He built us a fire in the wood stove & we had a nice visit. We've known them for several years now.

Very cool! Thanks for the note. I'm adding the Oasis to the blogroll.
