http://www.greenberg.org "On the road to find out.." Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:33:05 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en On Sunday (3/7) we visited Alamogordo, NM, home of the New Mexico Museum of Space History. It took a bit over an hour to drive from Las Cruces to Alamogordo, via Hwy 70. US-70 passes through the White Sands Missile Range and the White Sands National Monument. Like most of ... http://www.greenberg.org/archives/408 Had a lovely Shabbat. Started Friday night with candles, wine, challah and brisket. Got the brisket just right by cooking at 200F for about five hours. Did it with carrots and potatoes in the roasting pan. Also gefilte fish. We use the frozen loaf kind. I bought four of them, ... http://www.greenberg.org/archives/401 Moving briskly along the State of New Mexico brings us to Las Cruces. The ride along I-10 for the past day or so has been pretty dreary. Lots of open space, very little development between towns. Occasionally there is a store for tourists, usually preceded by 20 miles of billboards. New ... http://www.greenberg.org/archives/397 So... We spent a very quiet day in Willcox, and this morning, we "moved house" as the English say, down the road about 150 miles to Deming. This town is pronounced with a short E, so it sounds like lemming. On our way hither, we passed through Lordsburg, where I ... http://www.greenberg.org/archives/394 Not much to report. We did a day of driving, skipped a bunch of nice tourist possibilities, and are camped at the Elks Lodge in Willcox, AZ, where we will stay two nights. I have a day of work to do tomorrow, and we'd like to get some laundry done. It ... http://www.greenberg.org/archives/389 Today is Purim, the Jewish holiday celebrating the events of the Book of Esther.  There are four mitzvot associated with Purim: Hear the reading of the Megillah -- The Book of Esther. Give Charity Give gifts of food Eat, Drink and be Merry (I like this one :) This is the second year that we've ... http://www.greenberg.org/archives/337 http://www.greenberg.org/archives/333 We took quite a nice ride to day from Quartzsite to Phoenix (and on to Mesa) by way of US Hwy 60. Rather than staying on I-10, we performed what my parents taught me was "shunpiking". We took Hwy 60 since we had better expectations of breakfast. We had breakfast about ... http://www.greenberg.org/archives/321 I sent out a few tweets this morning while traveling, though not while driving :) Follow me at KM6CG if you like. http://www.greenberg.org/archives/316 Well, we made Arizona today. After a home-cooked breakfast in the trailer, we left Rialto at about 8:30 AM. We traveled east through San Bernadino all the way to Indio, where we stopped for fuel, a grocery store run, and then lunch at Panda Express -- Roseann's favorite. Then back on ... http://www.greenberg.org/archives/297
