Friday, Forsooth

Torrey Yucca putting up its flower stalk

Becca and I were able to get in a moderately-long hike before the wind really got started.  But now it's horrible.  Dr. K and I had to drive down to El Paso in the late morning, and the trip was hellacious--even worse on the way back.  It seemed as if half the sand in the Chihuahuan Desert was in the air, and the gusts of wind made keeping the Jeep Commander on the road quite the task.
