So THAT was what them whirlling torandoe like things were that I used to
see headed south across the desert from my house in Mountain Park.
Not to mention the tumbleweeds would bowl you over if you got in the way.
GAWD I miss them days.

Last time I went through there, "Smugglers pass" was a highway! It was
at best a gravel road blasted from rock and filled sand.

It was a bet for a shortcut into New Mexico - saved the long
trip downtown for the end-around run.

I really miss those days myself - mid 50's and seemed good times with
periodic stress in the world.
