There is grey overcast over Las Cruces Friday evening. The
temperature is lower than what we are use to and the light breeze only makes it
feel colder. The wind blows and you can see it move the water from the fountain
at the NMSU duck pond.
The construction seen last week appears to have progressed.
There is a few more construction vehicles parked in the area. There are now
several mounds of dirt piled around the floor. Additionally a fence has been
placed around the perimeter of the work area.
By the bridge sits a man fishing with two little kids. They
are all wearing jeans and t-shirts and seem to be prepared for the mosquitoes
in the area. It appears as if the man is having trouble telling both kids what
to do. It looks like they are impatient and want to do their own thing.
On a table sits a young man by himself. He appears to be a
college student doing homework. He has his backpack on the side and constantly
appears to be writing something down.
In the water there are two canoes. I find this quite
interesting as I have never seen anyone canoe at this small pond. There are
four young people, two men and two women.
They appeared to be dressed in comfortable clothes and wear life vests
for added protection. It seems as if they are practicing for an upcoming event
or competition. They advance in a straight line and make a turn at the end and
come back to the start. It appears as is they are practicing their turns as
they communicate commands when they approach the turn. I don’t know how long
they have been here but they begin to pack up not too long after I arrive. They
load up all their gear and empty the water from the canoes and load them up in
the trailer. They stay there for about another twenty minutes socializing. When
they depart they split up into two trucks and appears as if the four people
were two young couples.
While they were loading up, a man shows up to fish and sets
up by the bridge as well. He is dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. I assume he is
knowledgeable when it comes to fishing by the gear he is carrying. He carries a
large tackle box, his rod, a net, chair, and a bag containing a few more items.
