Got nothing.
Other than a trip to the bank, today is dead.
Sunday Sunday
- Happy Sunday everyone!
- Today Nina and I are doing our usual Sunday ride.
- Tori wants us to pick up Erin. I’ve heard 2 reasons for us to pick her up.
- Reason # 1: It’s snowing and I hate driving in the snow. This reason is no longer valid, it hasn’t snowed for 18 hours.
- Reason # 2: I hate seeing them every week! OK, that’s a valid reason no matter what the season. I myself would rather not see them, ever.
- We’ll probably pick her up but I find it horrible being seen with Erin the way they dress her. People think WE dress her that way. The best way to describe her clothes when she’s picked up from Dilia is clean homeless chic.
- I can’t really blame them. Erin is probably the one that chooses her clothes and quite honestly she prefers clown clothes to the really nice stuff that Tori buys her.
- When she’s wearing what Tori buys, the kid looks great. (See Tori, you got some creds here and you probably thought I’d trash you!)
- Still not 100% sure that we’ll pick her up though, I have to talk with Nina when she gets out of bed.
- I disabled the YouTube feed. I made a mistake releasing it. I thought the cops had released it, but it turns out that I was told they will release it due to a freedom of information request, not that they did release it. With the state police, it takes some time for them to release, unlike Santa Fe who releases that type of thing almost immediately.
Stop worrying about the future and be thankful for what you’ve been blessed with so far.
Fast
- January seemed to fly by. Tomorrow is February already and I’m really not ready for it.
- One week has passed since the excitement. I hope to never be that excited again. I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone.
- In February, Nina and I are going to Albuquerque for a weekend. It’s also the weekend we are doing H. O. T. or HOG Officer Training.
- Three nights of not being here. Sounds like heaven.
- Theoretically, we are supposed to take the bike down to Alb. but I doubt that we this time. If we were going down with the group, we’d ride, but we’re going down a day early.
- Oh well, I guess I’m done here for the month. Happy February everyone.
Funny shit
Friday.
- I just returned from grading the parking lot. It repairs the damage the last storm caused and it removes all crime scene trace. There was a lot of spray paint denoting evidence that is now gone.
- It’s snowing lightly and I felt good while working the tractor. I still love winter.
- Erin left yesterday and I was unable to say good bye to her. I’m sure I’ll hear about it from her when she returns.
- Wow, I just heard that a grade school teacher in Mountainaire was charge for gambling in a Super Bowl pool. She was selling $20 squares and she may be fired if she sold them in at work. Nit picking stupidity.
- I had planned on heading to Santa Fe today, but I may let it pass until next week. The roads are fine, but snow brings out the stupid drivers and I don’t feel I have the patience to deal with them today.
- John McCain to a step up in my opinion by the way he handled a heckler. Nice job.
- I also cleaned the aquarium this morning. I had to do a deep clean and I think a Diatom is needed for the next cleaning. I hope I can rent one rather than buy one. It’s a once a year item.
- Things concerning me have moved to a national front, but a google search shows it to be less than I was told. I’m glad it’s not as insane as I was told.

This is the most accurate, except for the location, article that I’ve seen about Saturday’s incident. It is the one I’m using now to let people that ask, know what’s happened. Thank you Las Vegas Optic and Martin Salazar!
In the dog house, literally
Robbery suspect no match for Pecos store owner
Tuesday, January 27, 2015 at 7:13 pm (Updated: January 27, 7:21 pm)
A Santa Fe man accused of walking into a Pecos gas station on Saturday and robbing it at rifle point met his match in store owner Glen Post.
The lesson to be learned from the incident: Don’t mess with Post or you might just end up in the dog house like 26-year-old Zebadiah Romero.
Police say Romero managed to get out of Pecos River Station, located in San Jose, with a cash drawer after threatening three people inside the business with a rifle. That’s when things got interesting.
Post grabbed his loaded .45 caliber handgun and chased after the suspect. He fired a warning shot into the air and yelled at the man who had just robbed him, telling him to stop or he’d shoot. Police say Romero turned around and fired his rifle in Post’s direction, but missed.
Post fired back, striking Romero in the left thigh area. Romero fell to the ground, dropping the cash drawer, then he got up and ran from the scene.
Unwilling to let Romero get away, Post and a store patron jumped into a pickup and followed him as he ran along a fence line to a property on the west side of the store.
Romero ducked into a dog house, but when police arrived, Post was able to point out exactly where he was hiding, and Romero was pulled out of the dog house and taken into custody by state police.
The dramatic story is chronicled in a probable cause statement filed in San Miguel County Magistrate Court by state police agent Deriek Woody on Monday.
Romero was treated at the scene by paramedics and then airlifted to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe. He was booked into the San Miguel County Detention Center after the hospital released him, and is now facing five felonies: armed robbery, a second-degree felony, and three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and a single count of embezzlement of a motor vehicle, all fourth-degree felonies. Online court records show that Romero’s bond has been set at $10,000 cash.
The robbery occurred shortly before 1 p.m. on Saturday. State police were notified of a robbery in progress and told that the suspect had a .30-.30 caliber rifle and that he had pointed it at the store clerk, at the store owner and at a female customer who was in the store.
Witnesses told police that the suspect fled from the store on foot after getting the cash drawer. That’s when Post confronted him.
The embezzlement of a motor vehicle charge stems from a black 2012 Smart Car that state police observed parked along the road near the store.
Investigators ran a check on the car and discovered that it had been reported stolen.
Authorities say Romero, a former employee of the store, took the vehicle from Furry’s GMC Chrysler dealership on Jan. 20 under an agreement to purchase it. The dealership reported that Romero never made the necessary down payment, prompting it to file a stolen vehicle report with Santa Fe police.
At the time of his arrest, Romero was on unsupervised probation for attempted possession of a controlled substance.
