Thanks for the Hernandez update, Vic.  I wish you would
resolve that comm port conflict in your computer and scan
that photo of modern-day Hernandez.  I for one, would definitely like to see that!

I'm sorry to hear that the old road no longer exists.
I wonder if there's still remains of the old road.  We can rebuild it!  And those cottonwoods.. we'll cut them down and plant new ones!  Then we'll get cloud machines and perhaps a nuclear explosion in the right spot on the moon will get it to stay in one place instead of that pointless revolving thing it does.

Yeah.. we'll do it.  You'll see..
(Eye and shoulder twitching)

Luis

OK, now Luis!  I wonder just how many of us have actually BEEN to
Hernandez???  I have!  Don't go!  The new road is quite a bit lower than
the old road, which is now gone, so the perspective is entirely changed.
The cottonwoods have grown up, making it difficult to even see the
graveyard!  The cross is much diminished in brightness.  The church is
still there but needs the original perspective!  The moon practically NEVER
shows up in that same spot!  And I haven't seen clouds like that short of
the the Carribean!  Funny what time does to a place!  ME?  I haven't
changed a bit!  Just for the record, I didn't even take the box out of the
car!  I made a 35 mm snapshot just for record purposes (proof, if you must
know) but that's it!  NOW -- Ghost Ranch still has some possibilities.
There are any number of old adobe churches up in the hills around Abiqui --
but most are fenced off with No Trespassing signs and other unfriendly type
things.  AND, there are entirely too many people and buildings and etc. out
there now!  Ah, well.  Vic
