137. Nasruddin’s Lunch
Nasruddin was working as a laborer, and each day he ate lunch in the company of his fellow workers.
“Nothing but bread and cheese,” Nasruddin would say each day as he looked longingly at the food the other men had for their lunch. He saw dolmas, kebabs, tabbouleh, yogurt, pilaf, all kinds of food.
“You complain like this every day,” one of the men said to Nasruddin. “You should tell your wife to make you something different for lunch.”
“I’m not married,” said Nasruddin.
“Who makes your lunch then?”
“I do,” Nasruddin admitted, staring sadly at his bread and cheese.

Today was moving day. I’ll be staying in Elephant Butte for the month of May while I get Desperado’s roof re-coated. It is not going to take the entire month to do that but it is cheaper for me to stay a month than it is to pay the daily rates at other campgrounds. The route was one that I have driven before which is 253 miles. I stopped in Lordsburg for gas and then in Deming for breakfast. Got off I-25 at a Truth or Consequences exit and went to WalMart to pick up groceries before continuing to the new camp. The route: US191, I-10 (140 miles), NM26, I-25 (38 miles), N. Date St, NM181, Warm Springs Blvd, Butte Blvd/NM195 & Cedar Cove Rd.
