Life in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico: languid, but not languishing

Truth or Consequences has its own torporific charm, and I am not immune. I start the day off pretty slow, but rally in time for an afternoon nap.

I accidentally drove to the top of town. Once you're there, there's nowhere to go but down.

There are no sea turtles in Truth or Consequences. There used to be, but people started putting them into the hot springs. You think that's nice, but a turtle in hot water sees your ladle as sinister. Turtles are not stupid, and now they live in Mexico.

Geri did a more thorough write-up of Truth or Consequences last year. She is more conscientious, and it was February, before the Summer Weakquinox.

I have a book of Sierra County day trips. I use it to fan myself.
