A big part of the allure for me is that you can't get them here. When I travel east of here, I'll stop at White Castle for some slyders. If either of these joints had a location in ABQ, I might eat there occasionally. I like burgers of all varieti...

You are the first person to confirm that T'N'T Deli on S. Broadway was not a figment of my imagination. Have you tried Times Square Deli Mart on Central across from the U? (for sandwiches, not brownies)...The same family owns the Sahara Middle Eas...

NM's Oldest No More

So for my Saturday morning walk, I decided to head over to Whataburger at Eubank & Candelaria for biscuits and gravy and a cup of coffee, only to discover along the way that an old friend is gone...

Businesses come and go, especially the mom and pops, but this one made me a little sad. I discovered this place almost by accident back in the mid 80's. Next door to the video store (see the blue door farthest east), there was a shop that rented PC software. It was borderline piracy. The way the… Continue

Biggest headline ever?


With tomorrow's date (give or take forty years) and the recent passing of Walter Cronkite it seemed timely that while cleaning our office storeroom this morning we would come across an old Albuquerque Journal.

The Crying One

A friend of mine is taking a class at the U called Urban Legends. She asked me to recount an urban legend that I'd heard, and of course the most famous here in NM, in various forms is...

La Yarona, La Yorona, or more correctly La Llorona (the crying one)...

I first heard this story from my abuelita on my mom's side. Grandma on my dad's side was "gramma garcia" and on my mom's side, "gramma gramma".

In her broken english, gramma gramma terrified generations with her tale...

There was this wom… Continue

Hi Ron da Bomb! I've added you as a friend. Glad you finally took the plunge and joined DCF.

Hey Ron. Last Thanksgiving after our family meal my husband got all the parents (all over 80 years old) and siblings to sit down and put the DVD of Ozomatli in concert in San Francisco on our new Hi-Def TV. Trying to show off, of course and you gotta understand, we're definitely "white folks" and our parents are all from Tennesee and Louisiana. He was a little insulted that no one else was as impressed with Ozomatli as we are but the 'rents would have been more interested in a Glenn Miller concert. It was fun to watch their faces though as one by one they came to realize they would never understand what we were going on about. Glad you're passing good taste on to your son.

I do like Mahler's choral work and yes it is mars (a recent photo, too). Thanks for reading.

Hey Ron. The Bookworks website is back up and running. Just got an events email from them and checked their website too.

Lots of us geeks out there - I'm racing home this Friday night to read an intellectual biography about Godel's Incompleteness Theorem...

Not a math major, but a philosophy/biology major! I took logic as a grad student, and a metalogic course that was required for math and philosophy PhDs - that's where I discovered the joys of soundness and incompleteness. :) This book is an awesome read - written by Rebecca Goldstein (she's a philosopher). So math, logic, history of science, etc. All favorite subjects of mine, though I stopped my math sequence with 2nd semester calculus and switched over to logic, set theory, etc.

The common interests one finds on DCF!

So what exactly is it that you do for work? Engineering?

I forgot to add, I'm a bioethicist. Work mostly in ethics of emerging and converging technology - what we call NBIC stuff (nanotech, biotech, cognitive sci, info sci). I mostly do biotech, more specifically genetics, but dabble in the others as well. It's where my other academic area of interest, military/intelligence ethics, also comes into play.

Final add - so of course I blog about completely different stuff on DCF...
