Thursday.
Bright and beautiful. Not too hot. I worked "at home" today. Judy did
morning chores, fed me lunch, then headed out to check on the local hot
springs. Later, a very relaxed Judy pronounced them to be just fine.
Steam train.
Be careful today. Friday the 13th falls on a Thursday this month.
Met with Jan Milburn, of the Milburn Foundation here in Durango. He spends
most of his time in the Copper Canyon in Mexico, working with the indigenous
Indians there. He doesn't need an audit yet, but we'll do some work with
him in the meantime to help him get everything in order.

Gave up and called David at our Wild Birds Unlimited store in Denver. He'll
send some new binoculars to meet us at our next stop in Pagosa Springs.
Nice new birding binoculars. They will have a lifetime guarantee against
droppage.
