SANDIA PEAK

In all the visits to Albuquerque Kathe and Jim have never taken the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway.  This afternoon after a stop at Cracker Barrel for lunch, they drove to the other end of town to take the ride up Sandia Mountain.  Each of the large trams take 26 people up to the peak of the mountain which is 10,378 feet high.  The views were breath-taking. Kathe and Kathy were not exactly enjoying the ride or looking down much. Jim and Warren had a great time and talked about hiking the trail down.  When they found out that the hike might take several hours, they decided to go to the Sandia Casino instead.

A funny thing happened the other night when Jim and Kathe started watching TV. The TV started changing channels without anyone touching the remote. They put on a music channel and it switched to Naked and Afraid. They changed it to a news station and it went back to Naked and Afraid all by itself. This happened several times. We called Direct TV and spent 40 minutes with the tech who could only tell us that one of the buttons must be stuck.  That wasn't the problem, so we turned off the TV and went to bed. We noticed that the red light on the RF was blinking like crazy but we had already shut off the TV. Very strange.

The next morning we were telling Kathy and Warren about the problem and guess what? They were trying to watch Naked and Afraid and their TV was doing the same thing, switching to the news and the music channel without them touching the remote! Seems that we are so close together that our remotes were working each others TV's. I guess Kathe and Jim will have to watch the same programs that Warren and Kathy are watching from now on. Maybe they will just read a book.
