Monday, May 3rd

Yesterday, being Baptist Sunday, we attended the First Baptist Church of Roswell. It was a nice service, great music, but the pastor preached too long. How ya gonna beat the Presbyterians to Dixie Cafe if you preach too long?

Starting at marker 321, we walked 8 miles today, which took us to the outskirts of town. We can either bypass Roswell, or walk through downtown. We decided to walk in downtown Roswell, which we will do tomorrow. We saw 3 Pronghorn antelope today, found a Texaos trailer license plate, 4 knives and a spoon. And a 12 ft section of clear plastic tubing which may come in handy if we have to suction John's hematoma.

John is doing better today, which is very good new. And Ruth is doing good also. Her physical therapy starts next week. 

One observation we have made is the fact that you can't walk more than a couple of hundred yards before you see a pile of bone lying on the side of the road. This is what's left of some poor unfortunate deer or antelope that wasn't fast enough to get to the other side of the road. There must be hundreds of deer/antelope that are killed each year on just this section of highway.

Haven't seen any little green men, but we are constantly on guard. Stay tuned .....
