Arrived a few minutes ago after leaving Las Vegas. I spent an hour driving through the strip - Lulu had not been there for over 40 years and I was there about eight years ago. A lot of construction going on.
Jen's Dad commented that in spite of the money invested in the buildings and despite their opulence, they will be torn down in 20 years and something else built in their place. Puts thing into perspective.
Doing a side-trip to the Monterrey area tomorrow - Lulu grew up in this area and still has a lot of family here.
Word from the farm is great - Jimmy has been working with a friend of mine to string electric fencing and tidy up the place. With the early spring, the garden has been going gangbusters - it will be nice to eat our own produce when we get back.
Booked into the conference campground for the 22nd and the conference begins on the 23rd.
One minor hassle - I had been having some congestion for the last couple of days and attributed it to the huge volumes of dust in some of the places we visited. Turns out it was the onset of a chest cold and Lulu and I are now fully involved. I bought a bunch of Alka Seltzer products - both night and daytime and we will dose ourselves tonight and sleep in. See how we feel in the morning.
More posting after dinner...
