Hello Everybody!

Well, another weekend is winding down, and another week is getting to wind up. This was a 3-day weekend for me, a little perk of being a federal worker, and I decided Thursday afternoon that I needed a little "vacation". Since I didn't give myself much time to really plan, I put together a road trip in New Mexico. The first day took me to Los Alamos and Bandelier National Park and spending the night in Santa Fe. A pretty good day, a mix of petroglyphs and satellite dishes for scenery. Santa Fe was a zoo, it seemed like they needed a urban planner, because traffic was beyond crazy. Saturday I drove down to Albuquerque, where I visited the Natural Science, Atomic Energy, and Unser Racing Museums. The Natural Science Museum display was about dinosaurs and evolution, which really isn't my thing, but some of the displays were interesting. At the Atomic museum, I got to see a documentary on the Manhattan Project, which was pretty interesting. One interesting little fact was that they hired only illiterate janitors at Los Alamos so they couldn't read the garbage they were emptying. My last stop was the Unser Racing Museum, where they had a few cars and memorabilia on display. Overall, I had a great trip. I also took pictures, and posted them in my new picasa account, which is the top link. Anyway, I better go, the NASCAR race is winding down. Hasta Luego!
