Tony Tomei & The Continental

On my way out of town, the thought occurred to see if Tony Tomei, master rebuilder of accordions, was still alive. When we'd last spoken, about two years ago, he'd recently had heart bypass surgery and didn't sound as if he was gonna make it.

After a complimentary lesson of an hour and twenty minutes, getting my new beginners' book on how to play signed, I strolled out to Phoebe with this splendid Italian-made Continental (with a case) tucked under my arm.




RaaaaWWWWRRRR!!!





En Route To Los Alamos

The plan was to spend the two weeks before the urology appointment going over the mountain from Jemez Springs to Los Alamos, down the other side to Espanola and thence to Taos...and back. But the Santa Fe Forest was closed due to the extreme fire danger. 

Having gotten to Jemez Springs before discovering the forest was closed and it being too far to go back, I continued on toward Los Alamos.

As I went past I noticed the "teeth."






Unsure of what I'd seen, I made a u-ee....and discovered.

Los Alamos

I wasn't doing so good at 8700 ft elevation so dropped down into the Los Alamos library at 7600'.


The Friends of the Library have a strong presence, but they want top dollar & they close at 4 p.m. I arrived at 4:10. There's a fine selection of free books in the lobby. I'll return tomorrow.


Got a nice camp just outside of town.
