Well, we took a little trip down to the east side of the state…A little warm but not any worse than Albuquerque. It took forever for global warming to get here but it quickly made up for it’s delayed arrival. At Portales, the afternoon storms cool things off some. A couple of times it looked like rain but it turned out to be empty promises except for one afternoon when they got a pretty good shower. It’s nice to be home….The construction company completed paving our street so we missed out on that. Matter of fact, our neighbor called and said, “maybe you should stay one more day”. We did and missed all the paving….Thanks, neighbor…Man o’ man, got to play catch up on the mowing and weed eat’en tomorrow, big time…Oh well, I enjoyed my rest…Pete….ps. On Clovis,  did I mention that Cannon AFB has a new mission…They are talking F-35 and F-22 aircraft, 90 some odd strong and about 50 unmanned aircraft….unmanned, um, sounds kind of scary, don’t it?….Oh well, so it goes…At the Portales Walmart, military men come in sporting military dress reminding one of a military town. Now it houses about as many military men as does Clovis. The town is growing and building, and so is Eastern New Mexico University…..Good area….Good folks….
