Wow fog!
8That rarest of all our weather conditions is upon us. In forty years living here I think this is maybe the fifth time I’ve seen fog, and it’s especially unusual up here on the mountain at my elevation of 3,844 feet. It must be peasoup in the valleys. I went out to take a photo of the mountaintop at the end of my block and it’s gone!
The birds in the tree in my back yard huddling together. The trees are all full of grounded birds.

Are you on the southernmost mountain? The main one with all the antennas? I’ve climbed that one a few times from scenic drive.
Or are you to the NE or NW?
I didn’t think El Paso could get fog. It’s kinda like imagining Phoenix all foggy.
Yes, exactly. Scenic is right above my house, I can see the star edge-on from my house. Here’s a photo from the middle of my street I took at sunset. If it were dark enough, you could see the star and headlights in the middle of the mountain. If you’ve been over Scenic you’ve practically been to my house.

Is your place really 3 feet from NM?
Any chance you could put an Airstream across the line and get NM to take you as a resident?

Was last there for the Stones at the Sun Bowl. So way more than a decade.
Climbing the mountain behind you wasn’t too hard.
What got to my legs was climbing from near the valley floor where we had to park all the way up thru the streets and UTEP campus to the Sun Bowl.
Once you’re there, incredible stadium.
@f00l The city, not my place. Actually that’s speculation re the city, the western city limits used to stop a couple of miles short of the NM border with a strip of county between us. But I believe the city incorporated the pricey residential areas down Country Club Road and that whole strip of the Upper Valley which would snuggle up the city limit right to the border of NM to our west, just as we are right on the border of Mexico to the south. NM is also to the north of us, but the city limits stop and there’s still a few miles of mostly open desert before you hit the State line. It’s comical that the only way to get to Texas from here is to drive east. We really should be in NM.

Oh well. Yellow Rose. Remember the Alamo.
Go w what you got I guess.
