I seem to not have enough time for the computer and all the stuff I thought I would enjoy doing. I think maybe the computer is just being slow. Hmmm. Anyway, it's almost the end of July. No fires in New Mexico, glad to report. We've been getting rain, but not enough. I think there were 2 times we actually got rain where the water was running down the street! And also flooding some of the nearby streets! Really cool for that kind of rain.
July 4th, my friend and I decided the last moment to ride the ABQ Ride to the Balloon Fiesta park for the 4th of July event they were holding. All it costed us was a dollar for a round trip to the park. You could go in your own car but who wants to pay $10? Leave the driving to the ABQ Ride drivers!! Anyway, Diamond Rio was playing there as well. We got there just in time for their show. And the rains came!! Good thing we went prepared. It was an enjoyable time with DR. They did all their songs as well as a few new ones. I really enjoy these guys!! After that the fireworks started up and it was really a great show! We got to see the one in Rio Rancho while Diamond Rio was playing. The stage was on the north side of the field (NW corner) so you could see behind the stage and the fireworks going on there. Hey, 2 fireworks show for a dollar!!! After it was over we had to wait in a mile long line to ride back to the mall. The first batch of buses left and it took about 45 minutes for them to return. The line for the westside wasn't as long as the Cornado Mall line. Once they got the buses back and they made more lines to the buses, the lines went faster. We had to wait for the 4th return of the buses. Hey, they were now bringing in the Rapid Ride buses, those are the longer buses that run on Central. We got to ride in that one on the way back to the mall. When we got back, this lady was at her car and she had left the lights on. She was trying to find someone to help her jump the car. I saw the lights on when we got there and hoped it was one of those that turns off automatically. Guess she forgot to turn them off. It was threatening rain all afternoon so I see why she had her lights on. That was my 4th of July.
Let's see, lots of things going on but can't think of anything exciting to tell!!! After I sign off it will all come to me.
I am not good at writing things and making sense. Guess that's why I don't do this often. I'd rather read other people's fun times. It's just me, myself and I and we lead such a boring life.
