Another irrigating opportunity
The flycatchers have been enjoying the run of irrigation water into the cow pasture the last few days too. It's been a good chance for me to get some pictures of these colorful little birds.
I'm still still at it
The last couple of days I've been reformatting this site to center on a wide browser window. I'm not done yet so you may continue to see some strange behavior here from time to time.
This morning I was lying abed listening to a podcast and idly surfing the web with the new-to-me Opera Mini browser app on my iPod Touch. What a great piece of work this thing is. It makes this site quite surfable on the small iPod Touch screen, one of my goals with the redesign here. If you use a mobile device, give the Opera Mini a trial run.

Norden Bombsight training at Deming NM
During the Second World War, Deming was again the designated location for a training base. This time, the Deming Army Air Base was established east of town to train young airmen in the use of the secret Norden bombsight. The trainees were processed in groups of 500 every 6 weeks, and they flew their missions in the 150 AT-11 Beechcraft trainers, designated the Kansan, each armed with up to 10 practice bombs.
