How you know you're home

When Weather Underground lists your weather (well, Boxford's weather, but they're pretty close, if a bit more inland) as:

93% humidity,

elevation 105 feet (we're rather lower than that in Middleton),

temperature 56.6°F, and

the dewpoint is 58°F.

In Espanola, NM, where we stayed for three nights last week, the weather tonight is:

24% humidity,

elevation 7,172 feet

temperature 75°F, and

the dewpoint is 36°F.

Granted that since we've come back, the ragweed has decided to bloooooom...but, all in all, I think I'll take lower, cooler, and damper. It's all what you're used to.

New Mexico was beautiful, awe-inspiring, eerie, and in spots it looked a bit like those photos the Mars probes are sending back.

Where the Mars Probes Really Landed

When the Vikings started sending photos back, my dad's first comment was, "D**n, someone should let them know they missed - that thing's in eastern Washington."

Vulcanism of the non-mountain building persuasion and real floods (not the rinky-dink things you get in other states) will do that to an area.
