I found that steer skull out on the mesa—in a tree.
It’s finally arrived! No wait, the sun just went behind a cloud, never mind. That’s the way it is around here, on the edge of slamming cold any day of the year. That’s why the sun is so important, otherwise no one could live at 7,000 feet. And yes, that is a big elm tree growing up from under the adobe wall and shattering the cement stucco, why do you ask? TAOS, chilluns! If the tree goes, so do the wall and the gas lines. Fall down, blow up, yee-haw! They invented bio-degradable architecture here, it’s still the rage.
