Things of interest to no one but me.
I went into town this morning and got some propane. Sundays are always a good time to take some pictures when everything is not so crowded, although Ajo never gets too crowded because there are not enough people to make a crowd. It's also a very small town, and I think I've taken pictures of just about everything in it that's interesting, so now I guess I'll take pictures of the uninteresting things.
I'm still not doing very well taking pictures of airplanes flying over the bombing range. A couple of military helicopters flew over yesterday, but I haven't seen or heard a single jet flying around that wasn't so high up I couldn't see it. There are several bombing ranges around southern Arizona, and they're obviously huge places, so maybe they're using a different one than they used to because before, I would have planes flying over almost every day in the past.
Instead of trying to take pictures of Air Force and Marine jets, I would do a lot better if I was taking pictures of cows. The cows come by almost every morning at dawn, which makes them much more reliable. And they're moving considerably slower than a jet, so it's a lot easier to get their picture.
I've mentioned in my blog before that springtime is a bad time to be in the Denver area, and here's a five-day weather forecast for next week that might tell you why.
The five-day forecast includes the high temperatures of 75°, 77°, 74°, 47°, 50° and snow.
That's one reason why, no matter what month it is in Colorado, you never go anywhere without a coat in the car.

Last night’s sunset. Finally had some decent clouds.
Mountains in the background.
This is the Magic Pole. No one knows why it’s here at the old rodeo grounds; it just is. Some say the Apaches tied their victims to this pole and made them listen to "the surfin bird" over and over until they went crazy.
Others say it was a group of Mexican banditos that played hide and seek with each other hiding behind this pole.
But the most logical explanation is that aliens, not the illegal aliens who come from Mexico but the legal aliens who come from outer space, created this magnetic pole to attract metal from all over the desert that could be used to repair their spaceship, which had a roasted-out muffler and was making too much noise.
No other explanation would explain the unexplainable secrets of this inexplicable magic pole.
