Sunday after Black Friday

It's Sunday the 29th and it is windy and cold. My cousin Eric pointed out that I don't have any pictures of Taffy, so I took one. She's under my covers and trying to get away from the camera. Believe me, this is the best one I took.Here's a picture of my Christmas tree. I decorated it on Thanksgiving since I didn't have anything else to do that day.
Here's my front window. I still need to get a wreath, but I got the Christmas decorating fever and this is the result. I got the rest of my decorations in the mail this morning and I already unpacked them and put them out.
I don't think I posted a picture of my new bike. It's already broken in a bit, but this is a picture from when I was still in the hotel and it was brand spanking new.

New Neighbors

My new next door neighbors, Red and Felicia, came by yesterday and gave me some homemade candy to welcome me to the complex. It is really good!

I was riding home from work last Friday and I passed this. Someone took out the entire traffic light and walk/don't walk blinker. They also left a little of their car behind.
This was the hugest TV antennae that I ever saw!
Today I rode up to the place where the hot air balloon takes place and this junk yard is right in its backyard.
I think this is the Albuquerque Balloon Museum. It's absolutely huge. I'm going to have to check it out. What is in there?
This is just a long shot of the bike path. The teal line is the fence on the side.
Someone was getting ready to move their house.
These squash (watermelon?) were growing on the side of the bike path.
Bike memorial on the path. Someone was killed crossing the road earlier this year.
The only freeway exchange in Albuquerque. The one on top is the 25 and on the bottom is the 40.
Women's community center had this graffiti on the side done by a woman of course.

Graffiti in the storm drains

I was riding my bike around and I decided to go into the storm drains and see where it went. It went nowhere, but I saw this great graffiti in one of the tunnels.











Halloween in ABQ

I took a few pictures of decorated houses. It's not too exciting, but I had some fun taking the photos. The last house is just another house I passed last week on a ride. It's actually the craziest of them all.




First post from ABQ

So I've been here in Albuquerque a week and a day. I'm still in the hotel, but I have an apartment that I get to move into this Friday. I should have been posting all along, but I didn't think about it.

So these are from last Wednesday 10/28. I posted them on facebook already so you may have seen them. It snowed my second day here in Albuquerque. I went to the store to buy long johns and I pulled out my gloves and snow jacket.





This last photo shows the new Target I'm working at and you can see the snow covered mountains in the background.
