Greetings from Santa Fe! (We leave today and head on to Colorado.)

1. I have one incredibly depressing link:

Texas is putting up dozens of billboards in Mexico and Central American countries warning migrants of the dangers of trying to come to the U.S., Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday.

The billboards will offer bleak messages in multiple languages. "Many girls who try to migrate to Texas are kidnapped," one will say. "Your wife and daughter will pay for their trip with their bodies," will read another. A third will ask, "How much did you pay to have your daughter raped?"

2. To balance that out, I have a vague musing from one of the podcasts we listened to yesterday. The two hosts were saying that they are both bad at being by themselves. They both said they had to busy themselves and maybe put the TV on. This is so foreign to me!

But it's not just because my house is too crazy - they both have had full households as well. (When I was single, I was sometimes deeply lonely, but I didn't necessarily want company. The loneliness was a bit more existential.)

Are you bad at being by yourself? I'm guessing this might be a divide between who chooses to be a chatty podcast host, and who chooses to be a chatty internet commenter.
