Evenin'!

It's so nice to see your screenname back, chica! :-D

I'll check out the pics tomorrow at work. Attempting to view them here is a slow death with this lousy dial-up.

Fair enough.... I hate to inflict a slow death on you :~D

Glad I didn't just post all the pics here!

Evenin' :-)

Good evening! I have so many things to add to my list of why I love New Mexico. (It was actually a grueling day spent in the sun and wind-driven sand with some difficult people....)

But!

I got to see the sunrise over the *beautiful* Tularosa basin. *sigh* What a rare treat.

I got to see the biggest jackrabbit I have *ever* seen. I thought it was a coyote at first... but it was bigger than a coyote. And coyotes don't hop. Definately a jackrabbit. HUGE! (Must be a local Trinity-site subspecies...)

And I got to see a *huge* family of oryxes cross the road just in front of me. Lots of wittle baby oryxses... "little" is relative, of course.

I got to see the U.S. Army kick *** .

We finished our work early, so I get to go home early! Wahoo!

I came back to the hotel exhausted so for dinner I went back to that little Mom-n-pop Mex food place that I visited Monday nite. I called ahead then and left my name for a table. When I got there they said, "You must be Ms. 'Freeper!" I said, "Yeah!" and had a great dinner. First class service - sweet people. So I show up sunburnt and tired this evening and my waiter from Monday said, "Ms. 'Freeper! You came back!" I said, "You betcha!" and had a great dinner.

So if you're ever in Las Cruces, eat at El Comedor in Old Mesilla....
