Yeah, Tonchi, I'm going to have to try one of those no bark collars on Starr. Her bark is quite loud, and its natural for a dog to bark. I can't stop her completely from doing it, but when you have neighbors who are elderly and/or suffering from various disabilities, it makes it hard on everyone.
The people across from me keep a large flock of chickens and the crowing of their rooster annoys ME. The damn bird wakes me up at the crack of dawn whether I want to get up that early or not.
Most of the streets here are unpaved, and there's a 4 way stop sign at EVERY intersection. This took a while for me to get used to after speeding around on a big city's streets.
I love the quality of the light and the air, though. Everything seems so vibrant without the pollution of Colorado's front range.
The big, unpleasant surprise has been gas as high as $3.10/gal, and the closest supermarket, pharmacy, etc. is a good 32 mi round trip to the metropolis of Cortez and back.
My new Zuni friend has invited me to a pow wow that's going on in Shiprock, NM, this weekend. He promised fry bread and mutton stew and the best Indian market in the 4-Corners. He is fluent in both Zuni and Navajo, so I think he'll make a great guide!
