Hiatus

It is good to be back in Bisbee.

After a month of packing, moving and unpacking... we are finally settled in to our old home on the border. Trials and tribulations surrounded our move, but... all-in-all it was fairly successful. Three flats on the Penske trailer made what should have been a simple matter of hours to cross Louisiana into a two day ordeal.

When we finally arrived back in Bisbee, we were met with the lovely sounds of splashing water. Relaxing on a waterfall, but it causes panic when it comes from under your house. A little leak, turned into a torrent, now patched and waiting for the plumber's permanent repair. Crisis avoided.

Bisbee Is A Mixed Bag

Old friends greeted us with a warm embrace. Some folks we thought were close walked right by without even a passing glance. Growth has come and brought with it a nice new Mexican restaurant (something oddly missing on the border), high housing prices and an upswing in a particularly more violent breed of crime.

Ken has his vintage bike shop running well. Jeff invited us to watch the sunset out at his place - which consists of some chairs, a Martha Stewart bar, umbrellas and a fire pit.... wonderful!!!

Even with the new, bad additions, it is good to be back in Bisbee. The good far, far outweighs any of that.

I did truly miss this old place.
