Day After the Fall

Half-and-half

Becca and I did a moderately-long hike this morning, and I used the trek to see how my body was doing after yesterday's fall.  With the exception of some sore muscles--and a slightly-swollen heel of my right hand--the old bod seems okay.  We ran into our friend Jimmy as we were heading back in, and he reminded me that he took a bad fall last year, very similar to the one I had yesterday.  Fortunately he didn't hurt himself badly, either.

One way to go:  along the arroyo just west of the mountain

We searched for this yucca because it reminds me of Apache crown dancers
