Monday’s commute

It looks like a jet-set lifestyle, winging across the state a twice in two weeks. But first off, it was for work. And secondly, well, the nuts and bolts of the situation?

I’ve spent enough time on Southwest Airlines to earn a couple of free tickets. Or, at least [url=http://astrofish.net/weblog/comments.php?id=992_0_1_0_C]credit[/url] for those free tickets. I once did a chart for SWA, just as a curiosity. Guess what? Mercury is retrograde in that chart, as I’ve been led to believe, that companies can have natal astrology charts. Sometimes, I figure folks in my line of work take some of these things a little too far. But that just could be me.

I realize that I should save those free tickets for vacation or something, but in the long haul, work, for me, is so much like play, it’s all about the same. Besides, using a frequent flyer pass for a business trip means I’m serious about the business I’m in. Sometimes, anyway.

Been a long weekend. I do love me some of southern New Mexico. The Sierra Madre, as it is. In Las Cruces, or, the more correct native term, “Cruces,” the Organ (?) Mountains form a backdrop. At one time, I’m pretty sure it was nothing more than a trading post not much further up the road from El Paso. Crossroads, the four points making the arms of a cross, hence the name (nothing like making up stories to fit existing facts, now is there?)

So the commute isn’t that big of deal, not to me.
