The Signs of Willows

Willows, CA is not a city that I can highly recommend.  As far as I can tell, its outstanding feature is its location equidistant from San Diego and Seattle.  Also, they have great locally-produced commercials for Ray’s Liquor.  This is big-sky country.  Not like Montana, I suppose, but still, it’s all flat land and clouds.  And signs.  The kind you can see from the interstate.  From my room at the Travelodge, here is the view:

Got to have a Denny’s, right?  This isn’t some backwater.

Oh wait… they have a KFC.  It might be a backwater.

Have you ever seen the Golden Arches glow more than in the fading light of day?
