Very good juzgado and dragon images, Packrat. I have to admit, though, the dragon took me 30 seconds or so to see.
I know I've mentioned the "quiet zone" that France imposes at higher elevations where raising your voice is extremely frowned upon. You could benefit from that at Tortugas--or just more responsible dog owners.
Kali and I are back in the lush, luxuriant East. The weather's not too bad, with rather pleasant temperatures (mid-80s) and relatively low humidity--at least for now on this Saturday morning. The jungle growth (compared with the arid Front Range) is remarkable.
I think I mentioned once, Scott, that I had been living in Arizona for years before returning to my native Ohio for a visit. I couldn't get over how green and lush it was. That's what happens when you live in an austere landscape for a long time. I wonder how you and Kali will like living in Colorado. If you don't like it you can always legally buy some local weed (or "loco" weed) and get happy.

The quietness of the desert is one of its best qualities.
