Protest of the Old Folks

Today John had a new experience: he joined the nationwide protest of the flow of tens of thousands of illegal immigrants from the South and our Government's impotent response to the lawlessness on our southern border. Because today was a workday, the protesters were primarily older, retired people.  The drivers on Interstate 395 responded with friendly waves and honks of encouragement to the older protesters. Altogether an encouraging start to making our voices heard in the national debate over who controls our borders.

The Glorious Fourth!!

Fireworks in our backyard in Virginia!!

The Frontier of Beer

Just had lunch at the Little Toad Brewing Co in Solver City, NM and discovered that New Mexico is "the Frontier of Beer."  

We have the map to prove it!!

The VLA

West of Socorro - in the middle of New Mexico - is the VLA, the Very Large Array - the radio telescopes you see in the movies.  And here they are... These pix were taken from the road, two miles plus, to give an idea how BIG these antennas are...

Paris plus 1 year...

A year ago last night was our first evening in our Paris apartment on Rue Saint Sauveur.  We stopped last night in Socorro, New Mexico en route home to Grren Valley.  Quite difference, but the sunset was beautiful...
