Thanks to my webmaster Anne for figuring out the problem with the links. They should work now.

Truth or Consequences
How did this town in New Mexico get its name? Well, it won a contest in 1950 sponsored by the radio show of that name and changed the town's name to the show's name in return for lots of national recognition and subsequent annual visits from the show's host. The town was formerly called Hot Springs.

Just before I left town, I received a call asking if I would instruct a photography class. What they needed to know was how to upload the pictures from their camera to their computer, and so on.

Brisk in Denver
One's standards change in hurry. Even though it was in the low thirties today in Denver, I still found it too brisk to take a walk. Instead, I went to Barnes and Noble. It was too crowded to enjoy for very long as all the cushy seats were taken. I had forgotten that it is Saturday.

You can't get there from here
That has been the story of the past two days of travel. I have reserved hotels, then I have driven close to the hotels, yet I can't cut the knot of all the interchanges to actually get into the parking lot of the hotel. In Omaha yesterday, I drove five miles after I had the hotel just off my right. I just couldn't get to the thing.
Tonight, Denver. It was 39 degrees when I pulled into down, a vast improvement over ten below.
