Wednesday!

Another lovely day. One thing about this part of the country, we never experience any natural disasters such as: Earthquakes, Tornados, Hurricanes, Blizzards, Floods, etc. Just nice and dry. The drought is part of being located in the Chihuahuan Desert. A neighbor was telling us a story about the Sandhill Cranes that I blogged about. This group lives here year round and one day they were taking off and one of the birds fell right out of the sky into his front yard. He said it was unconscious but alive. Since it was a very hot day, he picked him up and put him in the shade and gave him some water. He said the bird gradually came around and two days later, just took off as if nothing had happened to him. Getting sufficient water is a challenge for the Cranes.

Our local casino that I keep talking about, will be called Apache Casino and they are running a half page Ad in our local paper for all kinds of help. This is good for the community. Initially, it will be a small place, 11,000 sq.ft. but within a year they should start on their 20 million dollar building and then they will hire many more to keep that place going.

Our temps should reach 75F today but tomorrow and Friday will be much cooler. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and Floyd has one for friday. Oh well, a couple of pretty cold days and then it should warm up again.
