Country Drive

Yesterday we went for a drive in the country. We wanted to see how the crops were faring. The onions should be ready to harvest in about a month, and Alfalfa was ready for the first cutting. We get 4 harvests a year in this area.

It is amazing how many new residents have moved in. Traffic is getting worse by the day and even in the country there is much new construction. The Pit Park has been completed for some time now and really looks good. Our long awaited Entertainment Center should be ready by July 4th and the Sports Complex is still in the planning stages, although the grounds have been ready for some time. I sure wish we would get another grocery store. The parking lots at both stores (Peppers & Walmart) are so crowded and parking is a problem most of the time now. There is an increase in graffiti from practically none to alleys and dumpsters in many neighborhoods. We have more judges and police now too, but it doesn't stop the kids.

I know I sound kind of disenchanted with Deming. Right now I feel like moving, but I am sure I will change my mind when I am in a better state of mind, lol. More coffee, that's what I need!

Walmart sale!

I don't believe it, Walmart has our tv on sale for $498. Also, a 50"plazma for $798. They're practically giving them away. I want my money back so I can buy two of them, lol. Well, nobody else can compete with that. Our tv is a 42" Sanyo LCD and we love it, so I shouldn't complain. Never buy tvs any place else. Of course, I am a champion of Walmart, no matter who says what. If GM had run their business like Walmart, they wouldn't be in the mess they are today.

Sunny, cool day here. Our Christmas Light parade is tomorrow evening, and starts at the park down the street, so no excuse not to go. They have the usual bands, etc. and 28 floats, all lit up!

Guess I will have a spiral ham for Christmas, now for the sides, gotta work on that one. Hope all is well out there.

TGIF

Yes it is Friday again. We have a great weather week coming up and Sunday should be near 80F. I see that the southern U.S. is nice and warm and it is about time. We never received any of the rain predictions. We get our weather forecasts out of Albuquerque and that is so far away, that we are right on the southern edge of their radar curve. If we could get weather from Mexico, we would be better off.

Wishing you a very happy weekend. Hope your weather is nice and that you have an enjoyable time. I am going to pick up something to bbq Sunday and since we are going to Walmart anyway, that will be easy. Gotta get my doggies some bones to chew on, lol.

Oh yes, I have a U-tube that is timely just now, thanks Jim!

Good TV

Good television lately and now we have the Superbowl on Sunday and Super Tuesday to look forward to. I hate cold weather, so I kind of hibernate during the winter with my coffee and TV and my books.

Floyd is out riding his bike. He either walks everyday or rides his bike. His doctor says that he is in excellent shape, and he wants to stay that way. We walked together when I was up to it. We will be going to Walmart today to pick up meds and a few groceries. I see a week of about 60 - 65F every day this next week, so that's not too bad. Our local golfers say that this has been a cold winter here. Glad we are not in the midwest with about a foot of snow, eek.

Oh yes, something great that I read on the net, seems there is a doctor in Texas who works for the Baylor University Hospital medical group, and he had developed a kind of vacine to help Cocain addicted people and it may work for other illegal addictive drugs. What it does, a series of injections over a 3 month period will put a certain protein in the body which binds to any cocain taken into the system and instead of the drug going through the bloodstream to the brain, it will simply be excreted. He has been working on this since 1995 and only needs one more trial set before his med is approved by the FDA. Wonderful news. They think that possible this drug could be given to young men who are in high risk situations as a preventative measure. This is something great for a whole bunch of folks, especially in this country.
