Pumping up the Las Cruces economy

Saturday February 18th

Pretty chilly again (36) but the sun was out and the world looked a whole lot better than yesterday. I decided to go over to the main building for a long hot shower and it sure felt good. Then had a little breakfast and coffee and headed over to WalMart for some groceries and a few other necessities. When I got back Cathey said that the gas bottle must have gone dry because there was no hot water. I switched the bottles but then when I came in to purge the gas line, I saw that the water heater switch was turned off, so I turned it on and the heater started up right away. So now I don’t know if that gas bottle is empty or not.

Cathey didn’t care to go anywhere yet, so I headed over to Tractor Supply Co. and found a few things that I couldn’t live without. Then drove over to Mesilla Valley Mall and spent some time at the Barnes and Noble. I had to invest in a N.M. map book again since we left the one we bought a couple of years ago, at home.

When I returned Cathey was ready for a late lunch or early dinner (about 4:30) so we spun up the GPS and it took us to Red Lobster. (Only in America can you trust seafood in the middle of the desert). We had a fine dinner and retired to our collapsible Casa.
