Rolled the bike out yesterday
and took a quick exploration around my neighborhood.

Items of Note

Funny view last night:
1970's VW bug driving down a street in Santa Fe
with an old leather suitcase lashed on the roof rack.
Large label on the side of the suitcase; "I Have Baggage".





Blogger promotion:
Last night I got attacked by my first attempted virus
(and I've been a Bloggerite since 1st of May, 2007),
while logged onto Blogger -
today "Lapito" and I are doing fine, thank you!

Other update:
Today I will be officially licensed
in New Mexico!
Celebration tonight!

A Question for Other Gypsies...

Tonight as J & I drove to his night class;
we discussed the possibility of remaining gypsies -
Traveling when and where our hopes take us.
But, as usually happens, we also had to pause
and consider
where to get
the money
necessary
?
I know there are a few
other
gypsies out there...
I'd love to hear
options about how
other journeys
are creatively financed.

We have many options while here in Santa Fe.
Contract work as a health care worker
pays extremely well...
but usually for a good reason.

Your thoughts?

(Animal) House Hunt




First location: Gray cat from two doors down
I'll call him "Hola",
greets us as we drive up,
and jumps on the car to decorate with footprints.





Second location:
Gray-whiskered friendly black lab
greets me over the fence,
while his friend;
the champagne-colored
cocker spaniel walks out of the picture.

Bizarre Cattle Crossing

Name on an overpass bridge
along an interstate highway in Oklahoma...
Actually it was "Bazaar Cattle Crossing"...
Not that THAT sign makes any more sense.
Currently
on the way
to Santa Fe.
