Warm and Sunny

Today is a beautiful day. We drove out to the casino site and they are really coming along with the construction. The facade frame is up all around and on top of the building and the guys were busy working today (Sunday). While out that way we went to the Akela Flats Trading Post and Floyd bought himself a pretty belt with silver things on it and I bought a dozen chocolate chip cookies and 1/2 lb. of fudge. Had coffee too but it is free and delicious. Lots of people out and about.

On the way home we passed a field full of Sandhill Cranes. There must have been a thousand of them just as far as we could see. From a distance I thought they were emus but no, they were cranes. Just weird to see so many in one spot.


We came back and stopped at Burger King for lunch and then home. Such a lovely day and I am so looking forward to Spring and Summer. What will I bitch about when winter is gone????

Tonight there is a special on the NGC about global warming, something about +6 degrees and it sounds really interesting, so we want to see that. The truth of the matter, I don't buy into the global warming theory, but still this program sounds provocative, lol.

Oh yes, finally they broke ground for our Entertainment Center which will be 6 movie theaters, 16 lane bowling alley, sports bar, snack bar and arcade plus an 18 hole indoor blacklight minature golf course. Better than nothing. This past week they did start regular bus service in Deming and the transportation office will be at the old depot building next to the Entertainment Center.

Slowly but surely Deming is coming along.

The entertanment center sounds huge. Lots of growth there with bus line, etc.

Over night, we broke the seasonal record for snow > 76 inches. At least since records were kept for the last 100 years or so. I'm in Audiovisual Techniques class. We had to make power point presentations with animations and music - bios of our selves. Waiting for showtime.
