Out and about in Albuquerque yesterday, I thought it must be snowing since the ground

was littered with white. It turned out to be the petals of our white-flowering trees that the
wind was stripping off the trees. I saw that wherever I went in town, but none of the pink
petals from the pink-flowering trees.

I saw that there's lots of gas for less than 4 bucks a gallon. And there's still lots of
profiteers too.

I saw lots of people wearing masks at The Big Box Store. Good for us.

I saw a genuine Lilac Bush in full flower on a southern corner while driving East on
Candelaria between Louisiana and Wyoming. That brought back some pleasant
memories.

I saw a Roadrunner (the real bird kind) scooting along a sidewalk holding a stick in its
beak. It must be spring.

1. I have dear friends that live on a ranch near Truth or Consequences

When I visited they had two road runners that came to see them at their back door every afternoon

2. You bring back memories.

Back in the '70s I worked at a restaurant near Candelaria and Wyoming. Don't remember the name of the place, but it was popular and always busy.

3. I looked up what's in that area now and came up with Sergio's and Alcapulco Tacos.

I've only been here since 2005 and lots of things have changed over the years.

5. It has to have changed much!

Went back for a class reunion, and other than our house and the high school, couldn't find anything familiar. Even Old Town was different. That's how time works, I guess.

4. And the spring winds stirring up the dust storms and making

wearing contacts a mistake. Spring is here. Reminds me of an old NM joke.

Why is it so windy in NM? Because Texas sucks.....

Apologies to all Demo Texans....
