alexpgpGot home a little after 5 pm local time, and I am glad to be back.
I left Pearland a little behind schedule, but managed to finally leave Houston at 2 pm (the two are not equivalent; I left Pearland around 11:40 am, and stopped at the Hong Kong Market off of Beamer before taking I-45 up to I-610 and over to I-10 to Katy, where I picked up the originals for a translation I'd accepted).
Basically, I drove all day until I got to Ft. Stockton, where I stayed the night. This morning, I hit the road at 7 am or so (Mountain Time) and drove up 285 all the way to Espanola, where I turned onto 84 toward Tierra Amarilla, Chama, Chromo, and Pagosa Springs.
I am really tired. Dinner was some fried zucchini with onion and some rice vermicelli (already digging into the stock I laid in Houston :^). Then I sat down to see the series finale of The X Files, which was the first episode I've seen this season.
The episode was spoiler city, but like the man said, it's not the destination, it's the journey. If I'm lucky, maybe I'll be able to catch some of the reruns.
Nothing looks different, except maybe for Huntur, who's grown since I saw her last. It would also appear that the tyke forgot who I was, which I find amazing, but that's the way it appears to be. In any event, past getting the groceries out of the car, I haven't moved a finger with regard to anything else, and probably won't until tomorrow morning.
It is good to be back.
Cheers...

Date: 2002-05-20 08:31 pm (UTC)morels, from what i've read, react to a cold wet spell followed by a warm spell.
we had freezing rain two weekends ago, then a warm week,
and our site is very, very high.
we've found at least ten a day for the last three days, and that's not bad.
i'd never seen morels 'in the flesh' either until this weekend. it was pretty exciting,
especially since we found two varieties: morchella elata, and either morchella augusticeps or morchella crassipes... not sure.
look for a site where there's been a burn in the last few years,
and go for a sandy but mossy gulley...
and get on your hands and knees - those guys are really hard to see.
i think most books are not too informative because morels just grow where they want to grow. it's hard to pin 'em down.
