I'm currently reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ,by Ken Kasey (of Merry Pranksters fame), for our village's banned book club.

OH! I didn't mention any products I miss... 1) Windows XP 2) Cheetos Lip Balm And most important 3) : the original Mc Donalds fries cooked in beef lard. Nothing today compares.

Blasphemy! Single-use plastic bags are the New Mexico state bird. All the trees are full of them.

Taylor Fladgate ten year aged.

If I feel lazy it goes in my composter. If I have time on my hands I take some to a neighbor with chickens, and some to a neighbor with the most friendly goat I've ever met. Merle (the goat) also gets about 40ish mammoth sunflower plants a year from me, and after every cannabis harvest and...

On the subject of dogs... my dog prefers baseball.

This is the ruins of the brothel at Elizabethtown, NM. At one time folks thought Elizabethtown would be the Capitol when New Mexico gained Statehood. It was the largest town in the Territory, and the first incorporated town. It is all private property today on a friends ranch up valley from...

My wife and I were in Cimarron,NM yesterday. This guy seemed really interested in us.

This morning I made one of the cabochoms from my last pic in this thread into a ring for a friend of my wife for her birthday. My wife grabbed it and used it in a macro pic for another project.

Laundromats are are mostly extinct in the States, except for very poor neighborhoods, and high density cities. I live in a tiny village where we all have more room than we need. I have a washer and drier in my house, and another set all tarped up in my garage as replacements.

My wife had a childhood crush on Kenny Rodgers... so I'm doomed to have a beard for life.

Black bear in my neighbor's tree. As soon as I find my camera adapter for my 83mm refractor, I'll get a better picture. All you can see in this picture is his HUGE noggin, and his sunlit right arm/shoulder.
