Strolling the Ditch

Posted on January 20, 2011 at 9:15am 10 Comments 0 Likes

The word "ditch" isn't very exciting. "Acequia", however, is mysterious and tantalizing. It's like those Kahlua commercials that are giving the Most Interesting Man in the World a run for his money. With the last snap of cold weather and snow…

Albuquerque is turning into quite the brewing hot bed these days. A new entry has arrived on the scene: La Cumbre Brewing. The location is just a little bit hidden in a mostly industrial area on Girard just…

Wandering on White Mesa

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 10:00am 3 Comments 0 Likes

You want to tell people about hiking on White Mesa. You want to describe what it looks like. You use words like "views," "panoramas," "vistas" and "pretty."

When I say "Route 66 in New Mexico," what do you think of? Do you see the glow of neon signs shimmering on Central Avenue after a monsoon? Do you imagine the curved corners of stuccoed 1950s motels, now worn and cracked under the weight of time? Do you hear the revving of an old engine as an ancient Chrysler makes its way through the lights downtown? We think of Route 66 as Central Avenue, but there is another Route 66 in New Mexico.

Opening Day at Dixon Apple Orchard

Posted on September 24, 2010 at 9:00am 9 Comments 0 Likes

I had meant to get a post up for my Thursday slot, but something got in the way. That something was the nearly six hours my boyfriend, my mother and I took to attend opening day at Dixon's Apples. Nestled in a valley in the Jemez, Dixon is in a beautiful setting just beyond Tent Rocks National Monument and Cochiti Lake. The header pic is a view from a hike well above the orchards. Those are the… Continue

"I'm pretty sure I saw some at either the Ace or the True Value at San Mateo and Lomas. You might try giving them a call to see if they're still in stock."

1. How to use turn signals and who goes first at: 4 way stops. One way streets when opposing vehicles stop at the same time -- driver #1 is turning and the Driver #2 is going straight.
2. Who gets on an elevator first, the person departing or the person leaving
3. How to use conveyor belt at the grocery store and pull out check book (or other method of payment) BEFORE the total is announced
4. Arrive on time
5. How to get your swamp cooler ready for winter/summer (or spring as it has been lately)
6. ...that's all for now, thanks!
