A very strong argument for the importance of looking at the material evidence, and the tools to "see" them!

To my mind the best one of these is the one with Robert Caro: www.theparisreview.org/interviews/6...

Robert Caro, The Art of Biography No. 5

“There is no one truth, but there are an awful lot of objective facts. The more facts you get, the more facts you collect, the closer you come to whatever truth there is.”

Whoa. Great new recording by Pygmalion of Brahms' deeply moving "Ein deutsches Requiem" - here the second movement that always, always makes me cry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYWq...

Chimayo is a very spiritually "thin" place for me - dedicated to the Christ of Esquipulas and the Santo Nino de Atocha, with a well of holy dirt. Great food, and the only remaining defensive plaza in northern NM. And amazing hispano weavings!

If you like Jesus, snow cones, chiles, low riders, and art, have I got the place for you...

A closed wooden stand that's haphazardly covered in hand-painted signs for Jesus, snow cones, chiles, art, and a low rider museum. There's a painting of Jesus just above a painting of a blue low rider. An American flag hangs next to Jesus.
