hello goodbye

Ron's sister and her hubby paused at our house last night on their way back to North Carolina. After (I think) three years, and a run of bad luck like crazy, they've decided to leave Albuquerque to return to the familiar and slightly more support system-y state of North Carolina. Their luck was pretty bad, although I do think some of it was - as can be - created. Still, the random factor was there. Maybe their kharma pool was shallower than they thought.

Anyway, the 26 foot truck towing the car, the two cats, and Carrie and Shannon were here for the time I would normally have been blogging. They were using my computer to plot out their course and print out directions. I'm all for them doing those things, and happy that the technology makes it easier than it used to be. I wish them better fortune. Please. And a safe trip home.

The warming tend continues here in New Mexico, and although it was mostly cloudy today - with some non-wind related particulates in the air - it was in the 70's. We are supposed to get into the 80's this week, even. Spring, spring, spring. It will probably freeze over Easter, and kill off the cherry crop up in the mountains, not to mention fruities in the valley. Ah well, nature. Soon the dust will blow, and the true spring cleaning will begin.
