Colorado is absolutely wonderful!!! Of course, this is not my first trip here, but this time, the isolation has been a much desired break. There are no strip malls here, no traffic, hardly even a road, and it's paradise!
The weather can turn on a dime here. It was about 82 degrees today, but the storms rolled by in the afternoon and now it's 66. No humidity! No mosquitoes! It's so wonderful.
I don't want to go back to civilization. On the drive to Taos yesterday, there was miles and miles of open plains. Just nothing. Just wide open space. The stars in the sky here are incredible! My mother's house sits right underneath the Milky Way. I haven't seen that since I was a kid. The sky was peppered with diamonds. The moon, also, was much closer here than in Austin. Sitting in the woods the other day, I realized how much the city is sucking my soul dry. I hate it. The only problem is, with these open plains and no strip malls or the regular forms of civilization, there is also no job. I need to be independently wealthy to move here. I must find a way, because I know I can't wait until I retire.
There is no vet clinic in "town", though, and lots of people have pets up here. Wonder if any of my Vet colleagues would be up to a move? Mom said I should go to beauty school, quickly. There is only one hair stylist within 50 miles of here, and she has a booming business and isn't even that good.
Hmm....the mind quickens.

After seeing your mom's wonderful house and the amazing view I don't blame you for wanting to stay. I see a BAH mgmt. winter road trip in the near future!
