Taos

We are now just outside Taos, at Trudy Abrams, formerly of Yellow Springs.  The directions to her house were just as circuitous as the ones to Shel's.  She has a great new house, of which she told us all the problems and disappointments, but overall i think she is happy with it, as she should be.  I had been thinking we would split today, but Trudy has convinced us that Taos requires a closer look.  I should not be in such a hurry.  Who knows, Trudy may be right; perhaps Taos is Yellow Springs West.

  I have said that i want to find a small town with a liberal, worldly population that has a definable downtown and a feeling of community.  A public radio station and a local newspaper would help a lot.  A good supply of water, clean air and being able to see a lot of stars (in the sky) are important, too.  Last, but not least, there needs to be a quality ski resort!  The Taos ski resort just started allowing snowboards last year, so Taos can now be considered.  I will keep you informed.
