The temperature dipped down below 40F as I arrived yesterday, passing piles of snow at the side of the road. This morning the temperature dipped to 20F (that's -5C). So tomorrow on my way to Albuquerque I'll definitely be wearing the heated weskit. The usual winter climate in this region is described as mild. Yeah, right.
Pictures and maps are HERE.There are strangenesses here. There is just one taxi in this moderate-sized town. There are no buses. There are alien eyes everywhere.

In fact, the longer I'm in the US the odder and more old-fashioned it seems. Apparently you have to pay extra to use text messaging on your mobile phone. I've had to buy my own Ethernet cable due to the scarcity of wifi and internet caffs. A brown sign at the side of the road says "Historical Marker" but without stopping you'll never find out to what it refers. Most bars only sell beer and wine. Campsites are miles from anywhere and have no loos or showers. Road number signs and speed limit signs are almost identical, causing occasional confusion. Having said that, speed limits are fairly liberal (so far - Texas and New Mexico) with 80mph on interstates and 70 on minor roads.

So I'm here finding out the Truth. Here is Roswell.
