Reflections on Altoona...
Over 5 years ago

Sun rises and sets over 2000+ ft. mountains, which does seem to shorten your summer days. It gets hot and humid in the summer, with not a lot of wind or airflow,  More

Methamphetamine, poverty/crime and cockroaches/scorpions are rampant in Roswell! The climate is DRY & it’s difficult to grow anything but weeds!  More
