The view from the study window this morning...
And, for comparison's sake, last July...
Fog in an arid climate. Who'd a thunk it? I think I MIGHT have seen three foggy days in the 12 years I've lived on The High Plains o' New Mexico.
This caught my eye while goin' through the overnight mail:
That describes me to a tee. What AM I doin' right?

I thinks it's called living in the moment.
ReplyDeleteI have about six or ten comebacks to that, Skip, most having to do with advancing age. I'll spare you those.
DeleteI was referring to Snoopy.
DeleteHah! I never thought of that - fog and aridity in collocation. . .
ReplyDelete'Cuz we gets LOTS of fog in these bodacious parts. . .
I've been in some hellacious fog in yer part o' the world, Craig, so I most certainly hear ya.

ReplyDeleteWhen people I meet for the first time ask me to describe my lifestyle in retirement I ans: "I'm just a loose cannon on the deck of life." BUT, lol, I was ALWAYS that way. :)
Hmmm. I can relate to the loose cannon bit. Totally.
DeleteI have heard it said that lack of stress is a significant contributor to accumulation of happiness... beer me, indeed!
ReplyDeleteI believe that "lack o' stress" bit. I have pretty much zero stress in life at the moment.
DeleteOK,
ReplyDeleteI will ask, Why Portales?
Back in the days of casa movil you could have shifted home port to Key West or Cabo.
Why Portales? I like the place. The people are friendly; crime is low to non-existent; there's low, low, LOW traffic; the weather is decent (very few triple digit days in summer, not much snow in winter); and P-ville is far enough off the beaten path where the only folks that come to see me are folks I WANT to see. My kids used to run me hard with the same logic when I was still in El Casa Móvil ("Dad! You can live anywhere you want! Why do you stay THERE?").
DeleteOh, and inertia. ;-)
Snoopy has it right!
ReplyDeleteThat he does!
DeleteSome of the worst fog experiences I've encountered were in the deserts of New Mexico.Including a near miss with an eighteen wheeler at a 4 way stop outside of Roswell.
ReplyDeleteReally? I think my worst fog experiences were on the MS/LA Gulf Coast and in England.
