Roswell Strangeness

On the way to Roswell this morning, while we continued to search the fence posts for the alleged Road Runner, we passed through the most beautiful little place called Artesia. The high school football stadium looked like the Swamp in Gainesville; I have never seen anything like it. There were bronze statues all over the town and the local theatre was advertising “stimulus specials” on Tuesday, $1 coke and $1 popcorn. This is truly a town that oil built, huge refinery right in the middle.

Well, in Roswell, the aliens are all over the place; they tried to capture Paul and take him back to his home planet but I protected him. We went through the museum, bought a six foot alien yard ornament for son Paul Patrick (only kidding), and went upon our way to the mountains to spend the night in the really cool Sacramento Mountains. Very pretty site, right by a bubbling stream, in which - John - someone caught two trout yesterday. First real fishing place we have seen.

It is really cold and we are on our way to Alamogordo and White Sands.

Is gas any cheeper in Artesia?

[KatyPerk]

cost of gas
Gas in Texas was real cheap 2.55 at one place. In New Mexico, small towns, like Artesia is was high $2.89. In Las Cruces (large town) $2.69. So, we hold out for the bigger towns where there is competition.
