Weird commute, pretty color

There was a major accident on westbound I-40 during yesterday's evening commute.  Because of that, lots of people bailed off onto surface roads.  Which means my normal route home was CONGESTED and it took LOTS longer to get home.

While sitting in slow moving traffic, I took this picture of some of the autumn's color.

And a bit later, this one.

Gotta love those colors.

Autumn in NM

Most of the trees that are native to New Mexico turn yellow in the fall.  It's been fun and certainly makes for a very cheerful display.

It's especially fun at sunset with the sunlight coming through the trees.

Enjoying the loveliness while it's still here.

Extremes

I like moderation in all things.  I am NOT a fan of extremes. 

This applies to food - not too bland and not too spicy.
And to clothing - not too much, not too skimpy.
I especially dislike poltical and religious extremism.

All of this also applies to weather.  I love spring and autumn.  The weather (usually) is not too hot and not too cold. It is normally just right.

I am not a big fan of summer.  However, air conditioning is a big mitigating factor.

I am the smallest fan ever of winter.  I don't like cold.  I don't like windy and cold.  I especially don't like to have to personally experience snow.  Now, don't get me wrong, I'm happy to look at snow.  I don't mind looking at photos at snow.  Or, looking at snow from indoors is OK.  As long as I don't have to actually go out into it.

What brings all of this up is the current weather.  It snowed very lightly last night.  It melted off rapidly this morning. 
It's snowing again tonight.  I'm willing to be fine with it since tomorrow is Sunday and I don't HAVE to go anywhere tomorrow.

The forecasts say there may be more snow on Sunday night.  NOOOOOO!!  I hate driving in snow.  I can do it, I just hate it while I'm there.  I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that the forecasters are wrong.  But I'm suspecting they're not since the chance for snow tomorrow night is 90%.  (Forceful expletive deleted)  On one positive note, they're only expecting about an inch.  If they've got to be right, let's hope they're right about that.
