In New Mexico they stopped in Santa Fe to walk around the square. While there they also got the chance to visit a museum about Native American Art and Culture. They then traveled down to Roswell to check out the UFOs. The Cherrys did the true tourist thing and explored the UFO Museum and Research Center there in Roswell to see all the alien information that is verywell displayed.From New Mexico they explored back into Texas with a swath down to Fort Davis. There they slipped over to the McDonald Observatory and learned about some of the research being done there into astronomy. They also were able to attend a “Star Party” in the evening.

Dry ConditionsMuldoon is very dry right now and the August heat is not helping. There is a burn ban on in Fayette County, but also pay attention when you are usingequipment.Any little spark can set off a fire. Be sure and check trailer chains and anything else that might drag. Also welding is very dangerous right now and could easily cause a fire to start andget out of hand quickly.We all must be on alert for possible dangers in thesedrought times.

Neighborhood WatchAs summer is drawing to a close and school will soon be starting pay attention to traffic patterns in the area. Traffic has increased with the solar farms being constructed currently, but the teachers have already gone back to school and soon the school buses will be running and the children will be backalso.This also means keeping an eye out for each other. If you see something odd or out of place at your neighbor’s place, give them a call or shoot them a text to let them know. It is better to inform them of something that they may know than let something happen unbeknown to them. We can prevent crimes in the area if we all are on the alert and helpeach other out.
