Cool Yet Humid

Yesterday's sunset

Had to shorten my morning trek a bit (even though I got an extra early start) because I have to drive down to El Paso this afternoon to see the eye doctor for a routine checkup.  Hate driving to and through the big city--and it's not even that big!

Ran into Tracey and her dog, George, this morning, and hiked with them for a quarter mile or so before parting company.  On my way back in I bumped into my pal Jimmy, and he and I stood talking for a short while.  I explained to him I was pressed for time due to an eye appointment down at The Pass.  Jimmy knows all about driving there, and we commiserated a bit about having to motor through the city of El Paso.
