Wade Patterson replied to Donny Ozmund's discussion Recycling: can we start putting glass in the city recycling containers?

"But will they pick it up if you are not in the pilot area zones? I doubt it. The trucks that come down my street I don't think have the mechanism to lift the bins and dump into the truck. And if its done by hand, they will not take containers…"

"I was just joking with you. A day to celebrate and provide free food for bike commuters is a great idea and I am disappointed that there doesn't seem to be any kind of organizing around this. Besides, the more of us on the road, the more aware…"

Wade Patterson replied to Amanda Reed's discussion Freakish Amount of Moths

Wade Patterson replied to JMG's discussion vegan red chile enchiladas recipe?

"Are you opposed to using soy based cheese alternatives. In my book, the cheese (or cheese-like quality) of enchiladas is the crux of the biscuit, if you will. I've seen plenty of vegan pizzas, so I figure there has to be some acceptable…"

Wade Patterson replied to Carolyn Kuehn's discussion Summer camps

Danielle Ramsey replied to Wade Patterson's discussion Sourcing Compost - anyone used ABCWUA's material? in the group Urban Farmers

Wade Patterson replied to Tom O'Connell's discussion Weird: Rio Rancho's new "Apocalyptic Sports Nutrition"

shotsie replied to Wade Patterson's discussion Sourcing Compost - anyone used ABCWUA's material? in the group Urban Farmers

"Hey, Wade - that's a great link! The advantage to this type of mulch is that the animal waste is high in nitrogen, while the green waste is high in carbon, so the combo will result in a pretty good mix that, hopefully, the city let heat…"

Wade Patterson replied to Isaac Emmanuel's discussion New farmer seeking resources/connections in the group Urban Farmers

Getting the Boot

Posted on September 8, 2010 at 7:07pm 19 Comments 0 Likes

So, I’m standing on my front porch today watching a City vehicle stop in front of my house. Someone gets out and begins rummaging around in the back of truck, eventually producing a large orange boot and I think “wow, bummer - glad that isn’t me!” But it turns out, it IS!

But how can this be? I pay my tickets when I get them - I’m no fool. I know if I don’t they will find me eventually and the penalty will be high. In speaking with… Continue

At 10:26pm on November 22, 2008, Rick Citta said…: Hey Wade. Sure sounds like you are someone I should meet. I am a new member of Duke City Fix. I will be moving to Albq. in Feb. 09. I am a muralist, decorative & fine artist. Still trying to figure out where to live, set up a studio/workshop, etc. My budget is real tight, unfortunately. I live in Milwaukee, WI. Can't take the winters anymore. Lot's of other reasons for the move. Ok if I look you up when I arrive? Need to connect with the thriving art scene in Duke City. If you are curious...my website is www.rickcitta.com
Happy Holidays.
