I am planning to travel to Mexico by land this May, however I do not have a passport. Will my state ID and birth certificate be sufficient to enter Mexico and then come to the U.S. by land?

Suppose an astronomer proposed to build a major observatory on the campus of your school. Would it make a good observing site? Explain why or why not. Is a good alternative site nearby?

This has been dragging on since 2003 when my dad died. He left a will splitting the ranch and estate 3 equal ways between me and my two sisters. My older sister is exector. I offered to buy them out with a fair price based on the appraisal and they refused each offer. It has come down to the land being partitioned and to be sold and split 3 ways. My concern is that their attorneys (I am doing this pro-se) have picked a ranch expert to do the partitiong and I do not agree with that because my sister (the executor) is now wanting to buy it. And I have a feeling that she will then sell it to a ranch neighbor who has wanted it for a long time. This ranch is on the Otero Mesa which has a vast amount of natural gas under it. Their is major controversey over the starting of drilling. The 640 acres of private land is owned by the me and my 2 sisters. The BLM lease and state lease is in probate. My grandfather homesteaded this ranch and I would like to find out if they are mineral rights .

I am specifically interested in native plants, and not browse species. I would like to have pictures as well as verbal descriptions and general characteristics.
