Proud of the Duke City and the local organizers. Albuquerque showed up today. Courthouse protest turned into a march.

I spent a lot of time roaming around downtown Gallup in 2024 and 2025. 😁

Heading to a rally later this morning. How is everyone doing? I am wondering when I will be able to sleep past 3 am again. My circadian rhythm is discordant at this point.

Idea for 2026 New Mexico travel messaging...

There are lots of free/cheap things to see & do, in pretty/peaceful environments, often with no cell phone signal, power lines, or humans.

International travel is toast + domestic travel declines dramatically if we are broke & society is a hot mess.

Dripping Springs Trail is an easy to moderate, 3-mile loop trail near Las Cruces, New Mexico. It leads to the ruins of a 19th-century resort and sanatorium. Another trail leads to Hermit's cave, a rock shelter occupied by the Italian hermit Giovanni Maria Agostini in the 1860s.

Took a quick trip to the Jemez, Los Alamos, and Española yesterday. Dog and I needed scenery and fewer people.

New Mexico really, really needs some snow. It's weird to see the Valles Caldera with no snow in January. Tippy tops of Baldie and Truchas had snow, but the mountains are bare. 😐

High Road to Taos, between Nambe and Chimayo.

The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, aka the VLA, is a tool designed to study astronomical objects. The complex consists of 27 radio telescopes, placed in a Y-shaped configuration. They move the dishes into 4 standard arrangements on a 3-month rotation to vary level of detail and sensitivity.

Dripping Springs Natural Area is a popular hiking destination, with over 4-miles of easy to moderate hiking trails. Dripping Springs Trail is approximately 3-miles long (roundtrip). The trail's name is based on a natural spring at the back of the canyon, aka the “Weeping Wall.”

The bells of the Basilica of San Albino in Mesilla: The first, small copper bell was cast in 1876. Two larger bells were cast in 1886. The final, and largest, was cast in 1887. The church assigned “godparents” to care for them, an honor passed through generations of the same family.

This one is in case you're in a warm and fuzzy deficit. A chipmunk (Tamias or Neotamias sp.) at the Capulin Spring canoa, in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico, on November 7, 2025.
