Ah that makes more sense indeed.

I've, incidentally, been to the desk once. It was in pretty bad shape at that point (perhaps it's been replaced since) and had the worst smell I've ever come across.

Alpine is a great little town, though. I often tell my wife that I'd love to move there, maybe in retirement. It's got a "quick" connection to Big Bend and Marfa, and because of the isolation, you don't really need to worry about it becoming overrun.
