Still windy here but we're hoping it will settle down soon.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449827163911239893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424004817560458114.post-17366638818681794552012-02-29T23:53:30.955-08:002012-02-29T23:53:30.955-08:00You may be in the land of opportunity, but it'...You may be in the land of opportunity, but it's really dangerous down there.

The two "young Mexicans" could be just that but ..... better not to take a chance. A Border Patrol Agent was killed recently.<br />My little VW convertible has been drug dog sniffed so many times when I drive from Tucson to California and especially when I drive back from Tubac. <br />You didn't visit Organ Pipe National Monument, about 50 miles from Tucson. If you go on a tour now it is with armed Forest Service Agents. A Forest Service Ranger was shot to death there and it is listed the most dangerous park in America since about 2002 I think. <br />I used to go there with my family when I was a child. I wouldn't let anyone I loved or knew visit there now. And it is a beyond beautiful park.<br /><br />I know a wonderful Photographer who likes the desert area from Tucson to Nogalas. He wants to photograph as many species before they are all gone. Because of the smuggling of drugs and people the eco-system is being destroyed. As he recently wrote about one of his photos where you could see a gun strapped to his leg... he said I do not want to be a sitting target. He also travels with a crew.<br /><br />It seems every time we drive through Demming there is usually some sort of wind storm or a sometimes a wonderful rain storm. I don't really remember Las Cruces, stayed there many years ago, but it sound really lovely now. <br /><br />Pet the Doggies for me.<br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.com
