Silver City zero day

A few quotes from this morning:

"Good morning. It is a special good layer of hell having room in old hotel directly above excellent coffee shop. I could not sleep after smells woke me up at 5:30. Promise of excellent breakfast burrito just up the block. Perfect zero day town."

"This is silver mining town. Many of the storefronts are boarded up but there is healthy number of good eating places and big colorful murals. The original main street was washed out by major flood due to overgrazing in what is now national forest. The river bed is now a park with sweet walking bridge I will cross to laundromat. Sharon is driving the young woman hiking with chihuahua who was evacuated off trail due to fire back to point about 2 driving hours away. Peanuteater and Hurricane 2 guys with brit accents are in town with me and mulling next steps."

"At laundromat next to river park and reading my book re New Mexico written in 1934. Cannot believe that Coronado and his conquistadors explored the desert in full armor with one guy doing nothing but counting steps."
