Roswell, New Mexico

| No Comments
Here for the evening. Damn hard to sleep with all the bright lights flitting around in the sky and if I get abducted again, I'm going to ask for a refund from the hotel. One anal probe is bad enough... Met the hammer guy for breakfast at a local restaurant (Bono's - caution, self-loading flash and music - bandwidth pig) in Decatur, Texas and I spent a good five hours learning how to maintain the power hammer as well as forging some basic tools that are needed to change the dies but are not provided by the factory. Since we had to disassemble it to fit it into my truck bed, he had another client that had ordered the same model of hammer and he walked me through disassembling that one and putting it back together. Like I said, a lot better than just having a crate show up on a truck... Drove through northern Texas this evening and finally made it into Roswell, NM. Gorgeous drive in -- I took some photos but the lighting was hard to capture and I forgot to bring my tripod (left a lot of things at home in the rush to get on the road). Driving west over the high plains at dusk, a few volcanic peaks off in the distance, some amazing cloud patterns, a huge thunderstorm about 50 miles off to the right (I could head constant rumbling from it when I stopped to take a photo) and just some amazing evening light. To top it off, I have a satellite (Sirius) radio in the truck and the Spa channel plays New Age music. I prefer to pronounce it as one word: newage to rhyme with sewage -- but -- this time it was wonderful stuff and very fitting to the environment. A quiet looping sequence that was the propelling undercurrent to the drive into Roswell. Tomorrow, Albuquerque and the National Atomic Museum. I was hoping to visit the Little A�Le�Inn but I had conflated that with other UFO sites and it is located in Rachel, Nevada -- another trip. (damn, those lights are back again!) Typing quickly as I am starting to levititate towards the window again. Tomorrow, if I escape, Colorado. Estes Park and then north up 25 to O*&TO3IUTVU%EUVBKUGFUvi6tboiU%Rvo6BTo7Yo8R3vi&xxNO CARRIER
