    Fall is official in Albuquerque

    Fall is official here, 61 in the house. I lit the furnace. Ahh, the smell of 6 months worth of fried dust bunnies. But with the awesome bonus of standing over the floor registers.

    Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.

    Looking forward to the cooler weather finally here in Florida but we still have the AC on over night. Enjoy!

    I just got back from delivering flowers in Albuquerque and it was like 85 just 2 days ago. What happened? (It was chilly in Taos when I was there yesterday)

    Westy - was a cold front on the eastern plains that blew thru the pass at 35 - 45 MPH all night right past my house - was 42, now it's 68 - The wind died just in time for the balloons to launch this AM. Hate it when people come a long way and don't get to see least one mass ascention.
    Still await seeing a kilted piper, special shapes balloon. "What's under your kilt?" " Don't know but it shoots a 30 foot flame!"
    With the burner sounds, add some real pipers piping to the gondola, and every dog in the valley would lose their mind.

    Chuck: Great idea about the "kilted piper, special shapes balloon"! I'd drive 80 miles just to see that. A guaranteed shot on the front page of the Journal, too.

    Here, the low was 34F last night. Both our furnaces kicked on. It is now (late afternoon) 58F - quite pleasant, actually. But, no moisture, no snow.

    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    20 inch thick adobe walls mean that we have at least a week or so before we have to stoke the fires.

    Alternate answer: I canna say, but it takes a really large basket to - uh - hold 'em.

    New Mexico Tartan & Balloon?

    This was made in March 2012 and operated by Ashworth Hot Air Balloon Team.

    The New Mexico Tartan:

    I will be keeping my eyes pealed for it.
