Hungry Coyotes Roaming Downtown

I forgot to mention that I saw a coyote crossing north near the library from Central Avenue with something large and white in it's mouth. Whatever it was wasn't moving. The coyote was crossing from the library's east parking lot and through the Betty Ehart Senior Center's parking lot toward the senior condos.

Long Day and Ditto Tomorrow

Dropped spouse off at airport in Albuquerque for conference in Livermore. He'll be back late Thursday night and then we'll go together to the White Rock Senior Center hike in Cebolla Canyon.

An aside to put roof leak in perspective, Paul, a WRSC hiker, says that his roof has leaked around the skylight ever since he's had the house and that it seems to be getting worse. Someone else on the hike recommended Los Alamos Roofing - says they're expensive but good. They have a AAA rating and no complaints with Better Business Bureau.

Went to REI to pick up 2 shoes and bought 2 more. I'm going crazy with trying to find a pair of shoes that my feet like. Still evaluating the 4 from Roadrunner Sports - have 2 months to decide and forever to decide with REI but hopefully it won't take that long!!

Stopped at Santa Fe Place to return 2 pairs New Balance's that I bought online - too tight. It took quite a while for them to figure out how to make the return. Then on to Walmart to buy a new living room clock - spouse accidentally sat on the old one!! : ) Also bought toilet paper and laundry detergent. Wanted to buy wide mouth quart mason jars to store my powders for smoothies - wheat grass, spinach, rosehips, etc. - but they were out of stock.

Last stop was Vitamin Cottage. Organic Granny Smith apples way overpriced but I didn't realize price until checked out because price sign (produce manager) was missing. I needed them for my smoothies and they were out of red delicious.

Walked on Mesa Trail and downtown, listening to taped Prairie Home Companion Show - they were in Las Cruces for the show this week. Finally remembered to look up at Big Dipper's handle and follow its arc to Arcturus per Stargazer's advice!! Need to do stretches and get ready for bed.
