1967 Ford F-100 Valentine, Texas

Valentine is a speck of a town in Jeff Davis County, in West Texas.  Three things you need to know about Valentine: 1)Sacks of mail get posted from the PO in the second week of February 2)there's a dentist in Valentine, and dentists in far-West Texas are scarcer than mountain lions 3)what was the third fact? Oh Yeah. Prada Marfa is in Valentine. And so was the handsome old Ford which caught my eye, driving in from El Paso (and Maine) in the slant of evening light.
