WHAT'S DOWN with the BREHMS as of 16 OCT,11

Old town house, Hatch, New Mexico

HEY DUDE, is there a place to BUY CHILES HERE

This is the right time to visit the chile capitol of the USA, here in Hatch New Mexico. This scene is repeated many times along the streets. There are ristras (pictured here), fresh, roasted, peeled, dried, frozen, in salsas, jams & jellies and a plethora of gift ideas. Hatch is a small town with a large agricultuaral industry. The population is Mexican, Indian and white, probably in that order. If you ever get near, you should visit. it is at the junction of NM-26 and I-25.

BESTUS CHILES in the WESTUS

We are having a ball here. The weather has been lovely; cool at night, in the 50's and warm during the days, in the 70's and 80's. Occasionally the winds get a little to much, up to 30-mph. Lots of folks here from South Dakota, like us. Many just passing through going East or West. We have visited the Deming/Mimbres Museum for the umpteenth time. It is always better, and remarkably complete. There is no charge, save donations, and is staffed totally by volunteers. The locals have a lot of pride and are anxious to share their history. A should see!

MEADMOBILE

Life is just full of pleasant surprises. A couple of days ago, friends Ron & Sharon Mead unexpectedly showed up at the Dream Catcher Park and parked next door. This is their Flxible bus, previously used as a Silverline Cross Country passenger bus. They have done some major, and high tech, energy efficient modifications to make it their home.

ADOBE DELI DOLLIES

We decided to take Ron and Sharon to one of our favorite haunts here in Deming. Just a few miles East of here on an old school road off of an farm road, is the "Adobe Deli" a converted old school house, featuring a large dining room, a full saloon style bar, and oxygen bar and a whole covey of stuffed wild animals and memorabilia. It's kind of like a night out designed by Cabella's, The Black Angus Steakhouse, and the bar at the Palace Hotel. Have fun, and stay thirsty my friends....

HMMMM, MUST BE SOMETHING HERE I'D LIKE

Yep, this the long bar podner. Hope you are all having a wondeful fall. The Chargers are still a little iffy, but we look forward to keeping up with their games. We will remain here in Deming for a few more days, then head West again for the Bisbee, AZ area to visit great friends Mike and Marsha. When we have worn out our welcome in the nut and fruit capitol of AZ. we will head for Yuma, and hopefully get to visit with the Clarksons, Andy and Linda, you know! the Yuma Clarksons of Foothills fame.

COOL CATS HANG OUT HERE

As mentioned earlier, the Adobe Deli has a large population of inanimate game. Cats, Deer, and even an alligator.

TABLE FOR FOUR PLEASE

Mmmmunchies and beers at the Adobe Deli.

Ron, Diane, Sharon and yours truly.

Look forward to our next meet. Love and God Bless....Ray, Diane, & the Boys
