Today was not going to be fast, but I didn't expect it to be as slow as it felt. It turned into a "I wonder where I can go and how far do I feel like going" kind of run. That led me past Biggs Army Airfield, as well as beyond the railhead, which took me back to the days when I was a lieutenant in an armored cavalry squadron and I spent a fair amount of time on railheads.

What I did NOT expect at Fort Bliss this morning was driving snow. This wasn't the kind of fluffy snow that is pleasant, either. It was hard semi-frozen ice kind of snow that got in my eyes and didn't feel that great.

I was frankly stunned that of all the things to stick in the back of my head it was a song from the Police's album Synchronicity that I hadn't thought about in years, going on decades.

I can only imagine how dicey it's going to be for those lucky folks who are driving around El Paso today. It's a good thing I don't have to go anywhere or do anything...
