Went to Santa Fe. Spouse stayed home - taking it easy. Tried out parking garage at Railyard - it's free until Christmas. Picked up orders at REI but no Gore-Tex boots yet - neutral running shoes, Spenco flat insoles to wear under orthotics, glove liner, Easton 25" men's snowshoes with "Quick Cinch Binding" (actually, I bought that in the store with the 20% off coupon code you get from REI's website - good until December 24.)
On to Walmart - returned reading glasses, bought grandson some Hanukah candy and pistachios.
Last stop was Vitamin Cottage - stocked up on LaraBars and other goodies.
At first tonight, I was unsure about walking in the gusty winds (33mph peak per weather man) but I bundled up and did 4 miles. I was so well-dresssed (5 shirts and a parka over all) that I over-heated. It's pretty warm outside right now. If we're going to get snow, it better start getting colder! The waning moon lit up the snow on the mountains. Saw 5 deers, including some bucks, near tennis court on Canyon. I like to walk down Canyon in the dark when there's a full moon.
