now i lay me down to sleep

Tonight I sleep in a king-size bed at the Budget Host.  It was originally built as the Melody Lane Motel in 1945 on the main highway connecting Raton and Trinidad, Colorado -- over the pass.  Each decade saw subsequent additions, including in-room steam baths.  Marge has owned the property the past 17 years; her cousin owns the Raton Pass (formerly the Capri) down the road.
