Moving from Albuquerque to Traverse City
from West of the Pecos
than spend ill-defined "months" 1200 miles apart, we are pulling up stakes
here. It is tough to leave Burque. I have been walking the neighborhoods in
the early morning, picking sage to dry. Our neighbors gave us a cactus
trimming to replant in a windowbox. Laurel I went out and shot a couple of
rolls of film of the Rio Grande and the Sandias. We are going to miss this
place... but we are returning, if not to Old Town, then to somewhere in the
region... but that remains for the future. For the near future, MSNS
conventions and the ANA in Pittsburgh await.

hope they have a lot more coin shops than they do here<sigh>.

Welcome back to Michigan. The Traverse City area is beautiful
but pricey, especially property along Lake Michigan. That whole area
has seen a lot of change over the past few decades.

Being in the military, I am familiar with having to pack up and leave
a place you don't want to. I hope everything goes ok.

Is there another Traverse City? I do not like sand _with_ my cherries. You
wash strawberries, of course, and spinach, too, to get the sand off. I never
had a problem with sand in my cherries, the trees being a bit off the ground
and all. (:-)
TC is the nexus for our new locale. Actually, Laurel's one side of the family
is from Leenenau and the other from Kingsley. In fact, I dragged my daughter
to the State Library once (maybe twice, successfully) and having met one of the
Librarians at a conference, she showed us some archives that listed one of my
daughter's ancestors from Kingsely enlisted in the Civil War.

Fire in the bosque at I-40 and Rio Grande! I saw the smoke, but stayed away
from the action, preferring to let the professionals deal with a dangerous
situation.

Northern Michigan shares some commonalities with the land west of the Pecos,
pard. Native reservations with casinos (vengeance!)... bears and other wild
animals... lots of un- and under-developed land...
(Last summer, I stood a post at a resort up in the Manzanos. I had no problem
keeping the kids out of the pool at night, but those "Do not feed the bears"
signs gave me pause!)
> I hope they have a lot more coin shops than they do here<sigh>.
Traverse City is a tourist area. So, coin shops tend to be less exciting unless
you are a known Local. Generally, however, Michigan is a great state for
numismatists. I think it started with George Heath. (Ohio was far less
interesting for a collector than Michigan was.) One day, I took the most
recent issue of Mich-Matist and hit nine coin stores outside Detroit. There
are about that many clubs, as well. Of course, there are 3-million-plus people
in that one tri-county area, versus 1.5 million in the state of New Mexico.
One thing I am looking forward to is the opportunity to explore Spanish
(Mexican, Peruvian) silver of the colonial era. I found it wildly unaffordable
here -- again, the tourist factor.
They don't shoot as many movies up there, of course. I wrote an article for
the NM Biz Journal about the College of Santa Fe -- huge sound stage, seminars
by Ron Howard. I shot some pictures of the filming of the new Adam Beech
movie, "Coyote Way" downtown a couple of weeks ago. (I got two federal
courthouses, but could not draw and shoot fast enough to get them at the
Artichoke.) Then, my landlord had the house painted and one of the guys said
he had been an extra in the Kevin Costner movie "Wyatt Earp."
There is a lot of art and culture here. Santa Fe is the third largest art
market in the world. As for writing, well, you know, everyone here is two
paychecks away from being homeless and you see a lot of those old guys sitting
on the corner, writing in their journals. (:-)
Take it easy, pard, and I'll see you the next time I follow the tracks of old
Josiah Gregg.

sand _with_ my cherries. You wash strawberries, of course, and spinach,

BEFORE washing your spinach, remove the root end plus 1/4 to 1/2 inch,
makes cleaning much easier. OR shop at our markets, we wash it for you.

Hope you have a safe journey. Do your family research while you are
there. One day your daughter will want it.
