details by nature

First and foremost before I begin on this Memorial Day, my thanks to the military and police veterans and service members in our midst - Ann, Anita, Ben, Bogie, Burke, Chuck, Dalice, Dave K. and Dave O., Debra, Earle, two Fred Bs., JJ, Jim, Joel, John, Larry, Steve, and Tony, as well as those my little brain may have neglected to list - for your service.

We saw a great many veterans on their way to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Angel Fire during our recent road trip.  Some also stopped, as we did, at El Malpais National Monument near Grants, New Mexico, to give their bodies a rest before returning to their Harleys.

El Malpais is one of New Mexico's hidden jewels.  Rough and tumble in its character and history, it is a place where Mt. Taylor's volcanic energy laid wide swaths of lava over existing sandstone.  The details are fascinating.

Keep safe and enjoy this land.

until next Monday,

DB
