I'm really starting to feel the urgency of the CLIMATE CRISIS in my bones. Everything else is a distraction.

My part of the country (Four Corners region) has been suffering from drought and abnormally high temperatures for almost 20 years now, and it's only going to get worse. These are very bad times for our planet and all the living beings who call earth home. One of these days - sooner than we make think - we will reach a tipping point and things will go to hell overnight. Very spooky and very depressing.

We lived outside ABQ from 2000 until April of 2017 and drove through your area many times! We are back East now and very much missing the WEST.
