Up before the light of day...

Boy howdy, let me tell ya......there just weren't no way I was gonna sleep in this morn'n to the wake up hour. Other than the old "gotta pee" routine, my mind was work'n on other things. Nightmares surrounded me through out the early hours. Nightmares of waiting for endless hours in a line at the local MVD office try'n to locate my missing registration and tags for "that jeep". Try'n to explain why my tags are expired to 20 officers with guns drawn, scream'n "git on the ground"...."show me your hands". And besides all that, I was freez'n cold...shiver'n in my skivvies. It were 56 degs when I roll out of bed at bout 5:45am.

If'n ya ain't never been to the desert southwest, things are different out here. Especially around the Deming area where the wind blows just any time it it takes a hanker'n with no warning. It might blow 30 plus mile a hour or it may blow a gentle 5 mile a hour breeze. Deming NM. is knowed for this ya know. In the desert, you can expect only two seasons a year....winter and summer. Over night the temps can and do drop 40 degs at the drop of a hat. Like they did last night. But it's common occurrence for this to happen year after year.  Spring and fall are the short seasons, bout 2 or 3 weeks each.

Didn't do a damn thing yesterday. Me and old "pesky" sat out there on "da porch" for hours pick'n up on old times, present times and future times. Us old crippled up folks just ain't got much of a future ahead of us. In "pesky's" case, there ain't much left but to just survive every day life, run around the park on his golf cart pester'n neighbors and watch'n TV. In my case, I still got a little kick left in me. Although, kick'n gets a little harder every day.

Whoa boy howdy is that Billy Bob cool or what? To knock that nightmare slap out my mind, I called NM MVD in Santa Fe. Go right to the top dogs....yeah I did. Nice lady tell me she would send out a new/copy of my registration and tag in a day or two. I says, can I just go to the office here in town. She says, yes you can.....what I did. Weren't no big ol' line like what I was suspect'n, only two ahead of me. Out of there in bout 10 minutes. Good to go for another two years.

Then I shot down to Dr. Fronkinsteen to make a appointment. Got the surprise of my life.....tuesday afternoon. Cain't beat that "wit a stik".

  1. I have been past Deming a lot of times on I-10 but never stopped. It looks like a nice place. Cool night temperatures are great for sleeping. I sleep better when it is cool.

  3. One needs human companionship no matter what type of health one has..Pesky Wayne probably needs you as much as you need pesky Wayne..as one ages one has to accomadate for the aches and pains, I gotta wear glasses now, just cannot almost see without them, no more headaches and reaching for the wrong item in the supermarket or target etc..I don't mind at all, got me some of the easy living ones and now I feel so much better..One can always consider the alternative of being buried 6 or 8 feet deep or just cremated, it isn't for the faint of heart growing older at all..one must just take it one day at a time, sorry about the nightmares, most of what people dream and worry about never comes to fruation at all, I have learned this from living and eduring..Keep a happy smile, pet your doggie from us, have a cuppa the brew of coffee and be genle with your friend..ciao

  4. Deming has a nice mostly flat bicycle path that would make a good ride for you. It even goes by the golf course. I just got back from a 7 mile ride in the desert with snakes for decoration. Have fun.
