So today I was at the Montezuma Castle, United World College with the company that we hired to brand the county and city. Neat place and an enlightening tour of the college.
Well, my dinner meeting from last night was cancelled. They wanted to hang out in town without any of us around. What am I talking about? The marketing plan and the company branding the county and city was going to be rolled out in a rough draft at dinner. I guess I was wrong again.
Erin hates me. I beat her and Nina at the sign game and just for the record, the times she/they won, I let them win. Females!
No matter how hard I try, I can’t fall back to sleep after I wake up. Only 5 hours last night, again.
Going to the castle later today.
Nothing else to write for now.
Peace.
Erin and I went to the Jug yesterday. We hiked around for about an hour and left only when other people came with their dogs.
State still last in job growth – The Santa Fe New Mexican: Business.
One of the biggest beefs I have with this state is the apparent pride we seem to exhibit in news like the above linked article from yesterday’s New Mexican. We rank at the bottom and mostly dead last in every list that comes out that talks about our quality of life in general. That can encompass education, jobs, safety and numerous other statistics.
I believe that these lists, with us firmly in the bottom few slots, effects us in many different ways, including tourism. Why would anyone care to do anything here but drive through the state. With the proliferation of nationwide new coverage via the internet and cable news stations, we’re more of a national joke than anything else. We need to embrace the positives of this state and work to fix these negatives and not join in the NM bashing.

Oh the horror, this poor misunderstood, retarded man was put to death recently by the barbarians of Texas. He was not allowed to contact the Mexican consulate and get the advice of the Mexican government and these godless Texans killed him. Of course the fact that he shot a cop in the back of the head is downplayed because I read the story in the liberal Santa Fe New Mexican, the only so called newspaper that we can get out here, but dammit that’s just not as important as killing a COP KILLER, is it? Stupid press corps.
Dennis is forcing me to learn things. Yesterday his truck crapped out on him while he was going to Santa Fe to buy a new liberal alternator for that same vehicle that died. He called me for assistance, which I gladly gave him since he’s my buddy, and we towed the truck to a safe location and ran to town for parts. It turns out that changing an alternator is easy to do and it only took us about 30 minutes to do, once we had the part. Gives me pause when it comes to my own vehicle.
Wah! It’s cold outside! It’s global warming! Wah! SUCK IT UP PEOPLE, IT’S WINTER OUTSIDE AND THIS SHIT HAPPENS! Global warming. Stupidest damned thing I’ve ever heard. Weather moves in cycles through time and we’ve had cold before and we’ll have it again. Conversely, we’ve had droughts, mind-numbing heat, and torrential rains in the past and we’ll have them again. Don’t like the cold, move to a warmer place.
With the state of the union coming up shortly, how many of you think that the the big O will lie to us and say things are great? Second question: Do you think this will be another self-serving load of crap designed to make the big O look like the great leader he thinks he is? Last question: If we could hold the last election again, would you vote for the big O or a talking bird?
OK, while I was happy with my iPad Mini, it’s come to a point where I’m starting to realize that my eyes need help, even when reading. This calls for the new iPad to give me a larger format and more to read on a page. I love my iPads for reading books and magazines. The Mini was a bit hard with the magazines, but the books were pretty good. The main beef I had was that with the larger font I’m needing, I had less text per page and I was turning pages more often.
I don’t have it. Stupid event that send chills down Tori’s spine. If I don’t have a C-note minimum on ANY sporting event, I have no interest in the game.
Leaving January 30 and returning sometime in February. Going to move all shit from her condo to our storage room. Letting the pros pack and ship the shit while we supervise and say yay or nay to the shit being packed.
Once the condo is cleaned up, repairs will begin and then we will list the place for sale. Will probably use the same realtor that she bought it from. She’s still working the area and she sold it once, right?
I need to start walking again. Once you start, you should never stop. Stopping has reduced my stamina to my pre-walking levels. Damned weather was why I quit walking.
I have a March doctor’s appointment. Schedule this stuff with plenty of time in advance and you can almost guarantee the time frame you wish. I like the first appointment of the day. The doctor is well rested and his hands are still clean. Dr. Green is my doctor and he has a lot of experience with male related stuff since he was a prison doctor before going into private practice. Turn your head and cough!
OK, if you don’t like my Jeep stories, skip this part. Last week I had my Jeep lifted. A couple of days ago I tested the lift in an arroyo on the way to Arrow’s Ridge. The arroyo has some difficult portions including a 2 foot stone step that needs to be climbed. The Jeep took it all in stride and I am a happy camper.
Still alive.
