| Looking down the road that leads up Tortugas Mountain |
It seems like several years now since my friend Scott over at "It Just Comes Naturally" (itonlycomesnaturally.blogspot.com) told me he had a student whose aunt hiked at Tortugas Mountain all the time. The niece said her aunt had two dogs, a little white one and a larger black one. In all the years I've hiked there I had never bumped into her--until today. She was parked right behind my car, and when I introduced myself we had a good laugh. "Small world," the aunt said. Seems her niece has graduated from college and is working in Pittsburgh.

Mormon tea contains a chemical that is close to sufedrin, so it's good to nibble on if you have a cold.
I wish you had mentioned that earlier, Dr. K. I could have been out there nibbling on Mormon Tea bushes.
:)
Packrat: At the end of the term (it was only December 2011, not an age ago), my student (whose Las Cruces-based aunt has the pair of dogs) told me that she would put me in touch with some of the environmental groups operating out of Las Cruces, but I never heard from her again. It's good to learn (even second hand) that she's gotten a job and is working in Pittsburgh. It's a small world indeed, and you've got to behave yourself (not that I don't). Thanks for the update!
Packrat: Make that December 2012, not 2011, as I stated in my previous comment--even less of an age ago!
