Osso and Pacco move to New Mexico

Just as well I'm bringing a mate - he might have to carry both of us! (well - he's been carrying me on the tennis court for years.......... :wink: )

I want a report on this get together, y'know...

a report WITH pictures!

ain't no pix!
won't be no pix!

we don't do pix!

Just thought I'd put in a request.....

Forget request.

You've seen us ... we deserve the same level of respect. Respect. We're talking about simple respect.

<sob>








<do you think that'll work, l'k?>

Ummmm... no, not really. But, good try!

have to admit that is cute

That is amazing, osso.

... I thought you meant she she called you "ossobucco" ..... Now if she'd been a closet A2K member & had known the whole story of your shift, that would have been utterly amazing!

Mar gooooo...come on now. Be good. <I can hear your feet stamping from here :wink: >

The thing is and a sad thing it is, is that Ossos' new house backs right against the Petroglyph National Monument BUT there is a 8 foot high wall/sound barrier across the back of her yard rendering the monument unseeable.

Those damn Petroglyphs can be so loud sometimes.

Nothin' a simple elevated deck can't cure, dys...although Osso is likely to come up with plans of her own to fix that.

Funny, I could see them....

that was the x-ray goggles, osso...

Yes, there was an aura of shamanic magic about the place.

s'funny - there's mostly an aura of shambolic magic about my place...and not so much of that magic stuff - mostly just shambolic!

Interesting map on who moved where, re Interstate Migration:



Seems, osso, you were trendy in leaving CA and helped NM to get their figures balanced :wink:

Real estate prices have some fair amount to do with the migration..

Some photos from my moving trip, none of them all that wonderful as photos, but they may give a sense of territory driven through...

There's a bunch. I'll post about six at a time. Attention deficit, y'know.


View from gas station in San Juan Battista, the mission town south of San Francisco where I had the great breakfast



View of the cemetery not far from that gas station



View of the inland area near the Santa Inez Valley, which is north,and somewhat inland of Santa Barbara



Photo from rest stop as I got to the coast at Goleta, a windy area generally, sitting that morning in a swathing of fog. That's the ocean to the right of the photo.



Myself and my niece in west Los Angeles before I took off for highway 10 across California, Arizona, part of New Mexico...
- skipped because I probably would not be able to edit it out.


Motel in Blythe, California - Christmas eve by the sheltering palms..



More of the motel (I'll come back and post the name, forget it right now)..
