New Mexico’s Flag
On it we see a red sun with rays stretching out from it. There are four groups of rays with four rays in each group. This is an ancient sun symbol of a Native American people called the Zia. The Zia believed that the giver of all good gave them gifts in groups of four.These gifts are:
The four directions – north, east, south and west.
The four seasons – spring, summer, fall and winter.
The day – sunrise, noon, evening and night.
Life itself – childhood, youth, middle years and old age.All of these are bound by a circle of life and love, without a beginning or end.
It’s the dead of winter, the holidays are over, and the girls are back at school. Sounds like time for another trip! North? No, brrr! East? No, there’s an ocean in the way of my driving. So why not south and west down to warmer country. Having waiting for the arctic cold to blow past I’m now ready to hit the road.

Since age 16 when I worked on the Ford for President campaign I’ve been a fan. Three day earlier I had visited his President Museum in Lancing and was very impressed. It’s very well done. While there I learned of the Library in Ann Arbor so I made it my first stop. It’s much smaller, not nearly so well done, but equally supportive and respectful of President Ford. My favorite part was the corner he used for his personal office till the end.
