Talk

Alright, I just gotta comment on something. Over the last few day's, I've been listing to talk radio for a change of pace. Will YOU people stop spending the first 25 - 50% of your glorious airtime praising the person and his / her show. "Oh your the greatest . . .", "I've been listing to your show . . .", "I've been calling for . . .". Give it UP folks. Get out of the hole.

Simmer down now.

Getting stuff done for the trip to Seattle. Cloths packed - check, carry-on bag stuffed - check, to-do checklist made and scanned (a lot) - check, spazzzz - check.

Let's see, tomorrow, perhaps movie at the dollar spot. Thursday night - concert - Shinedown - Sunshine Theater - doors 7 / show 7:30 - all ages, bar w/ ID. Friday - ascend 7000 feet, descend 12000 feet - gum please?!

Now for Savage Nation on talk. Boil thy blood!

Today

Ummm - I'm still around?
Ummm - I've been swamped at work?
Ummm - Today was a busy day . . .

Today, today, today. Let's see: Bank, hospital (meds refill), AAA New Mexico for some travel info for Seattle, shopping, Alltel to put more dollars on the phone, lunch, shopping, car emission test, home (briefly), more shopping, supper, and now.

That about rounds it out folks. Do a bit more surfing here, then onto some other needed activities. We'll see how late I'm up tonight. After all, just got done downing a gallon of iced tea.

Bandelier

Well I'm back from a painful visit to Bandelier National Monument. It was so painful, I had to be pried from the place. Good trip from start to finish. Here's a view of the lower village:

And a view of the cliff dwellings dug into the ash wall.

And more rooms in the side of the wall. The wall is soft enough that it can be dug away with a stick or other such object. The small holes that line the wall where used to support the roof. This was a multistory setup.

Then a trail at a separate section of the Bandelier park. The trench is original trail from the Native Americans.

And Oh!, we can't forget the scenic vista's.



WOW! What a beautiful state I live in.

Now it's time to prep for my next vacation . . . visiting C in Seattle, Washington. And to add to the excitement, got to get ready for my brothers birthday coming up. Now, just what shall I get him . . .

Beat

WOW, what a Day! I'm beat.

Time to get a good nights rest, then get up early tomorrow morning and head out for a four day camping trip. Mental health day's I tell ya.

Cheers!

Somber

We've had a lot of clouds and sporadic rain around here. Worked late one day last week and scored this on leaving. My reward.

The background is part of the Petroglyphs National Monument. It's the Volcano's area.

Went to a arts and crafts show yesterday with the folks in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The fair brought in peoples from many different countries to highlight their local products and artwork. It was all non-profit and sales went directly to the artist. I did score a number of pieces, but show and tell will have to wait until another day as I'm a bit lazy to break out the camera at the moment. See, I've been sucking down some Apfel Korn tonight. Seems to have brought out the LAZY in me. The one treat I'll share is this photo of a fountain in an outside dining area at a restaurant near the parking lot of the event. We ate our picnic lunch there.

Here's one other treat from some time ago. A double rainbow if you can see it. Took this just outside my apartment.

Well, the countdown has started to my vacation !! I'm outta here August first through August 10 to Seattle, Washington to see a good friend I have not seen in 20 plus years. Hence the Korn while I've been researching things to see and do there. REALLY looking forward to it.

Suckerrrrrrrrrrrr
