October 26, 2008 - Added some new Meteorite beaded Pewter Bookmarks in the Jewelry page of our Shopping section. These are really beautiful and unique. They make great gifts for teachers or those who are hard to buy gifts for - everyone reads books! And unlike most beaded bookmarks on the market, these have a genuine Gibeon Meteorite bead on the dangle! Also don't forget to look at our new CafePress shop at CafePress.

It's already getting chilly now, Dia de los Muertos is coming up soon and I plan on going to Old Mesilla for the celebrations. The Banshee came to my door too many times this past year, I might as well go and get in her face for a change!

October 15, 2008 - Ok, I can scratch the tarantula off my list, as I nearly ran over one that was high-steppin' across the road, as I was driving home the other day. It was unusual because it was very black. The tarantulas I've seen before in Arizona were brownish.

October 3, 2008 - I have now encountered almost all of the legendary creepy–crawlies of the desert. I almost stepped on a baby rattlesnake the other day. We’ve had scorpions in the house. I’ve seen Vinegarones, centipedes and bull snakes outside and yesterday I found two black widow spiders. The only things I haven’t seen yet are a tarantula and a gila monster.

September 4, 2008 - Three of our air tanker pilot colleagues were killed September 1st on their way to fight a fire. For more information please visit this site: http://www.neptuneaviation.com
