Why is the library space so small?  And why "museum" instead of
"library" or "archives"? And why has it rained so much in El Paso?

"The weaknesses are that some want the river and others want the
pseudoparadise. Steve and Lupe represented both and went about
achieving their dream by redefining the world one entry at a time, A
to Z, and with considerable links to their past lives. When they
weren't hard at work, they loved to talk about who would inhabit
pseudoparadise.  But that always ended in an unsettling silence when
they had to admit that no species lives forever." - fr. Frogs,
Woodpeckers, Owls, & Couples, A.A. Stemple
