This morning it was snowing and windy so we decided not to see the morning flight of the birds. I fixed french toast and we are just hanging out trying to get caugh up on some things, like my notes. It is almost noon and the sun is trying to shine through the clouds. The winds are still pretty strong and it is pretty cold. We ate lunch and decided to go town. It was too cold and windy to walk around town so we decided to drive around and see the sights

First stop, SAMS. We talked to a woman who was born and raised in Roswel and did not like the cattle farmers. She claims that when they moved in the flies were just terrible at her home. She complained to city officials and even the governor. They explained that they give the cattle some stuff and that it takes time for it to the flies. Things will get better with time. She went on to explain that the cattle folks move into an area for 10 to 15 years and get the government to compensate them for the poor quality of the land and the cows were not producing milk like they should. After the government buys them out, they move someplace else and start new. She said their homes were huge. They had too much money. She was not happy with the cattle people.

SAMS sells liquor.
