Long story short . . .in the midst of a VERY busy day, I tried to send flowers for a customer to Red River, New Mexico. Wasn't happenin'--it's a small town with 6000 bikers there for a rally this weekend!
So I looked up the Chamber of Commerce tosee if there was anyone there who would send anything for them . . .the Bull Pen would deliver lunch! No other options.
However, in the process of finding the Chamber, I was on their website and here are a couple of excerpts:
" Nearby Wheeler Peak is 13,161 foot above sea level, the highest peak in New Mexico. Okay - some sources claim that the altitude is 13,160 feet. Rocks are rocks and if some fall off and roll down the mountain, well... The point is that once you are above 13,000 feet, what difference does one foot make to your lungs, which are already struggling to adjust to the thin air?
Average daytime temperature during the summer is 75° (F) while the nighttime cools to an average of 39° (F). Compare that to the average daytime summer temperature in Dallas: 3,251° daytime and 3,250° at night. (Warning the Dallas temperature is an estimate only and in no way is sanctioned by the U.S. Weather Bureau.)
Red River's population according to the Census 2000 is about 485 - four hundred fifty Republicans and thirty-five Democrats (unofficially), depending on the time of year and who's running for election. Fortunately, it's not an election year so everybody will be in a good mood.
Locals frequently wave at people they don't know. Wave back."
I loved it!
