Sunday Showtime

An overcast desert sky

Dr. K, Becca and I were on the trail around Tortugas Mountain early this morning, but quite a few other hikers, bikers and joggers were out there, too.  We had only one close encounter with a biker, though, and Becca was on her best behavior.  The desert sky was overcast, and high humidity remained from yesterday's brief rainstorm--a squall, really (I like that word "squall").  Unfortunately, some "hunter" was on the south mesa taking pot shots at anything that moved.  I don't know that for certain, but that's how I feel about all "hunters."
