Beautiful Building -- Good Bye.



The smell of the fried potatoes from Whataburger made me hungry. I had parked my car and stuffed my shorts' pockets with phone and camera and keys and was hiking it over the tracks on Menaul to document one of my earliest memories of Albuquerque being torn down.

a good day (rainy) to announce a Rio Grande Water Compact Forum

Our water supply was the topic of an interesting commentary by VB Price in the NM Independent a few days back. So when I saw an email announcement for the Thursday April 16th evening Rio Grande Water Compact Forum, I went to the website of the sponsoring organization. For twelve years the Middle Rio Grande Water Assembly has been in existence, helping bring attention to the issue… Continue

hey! I love your "Oh-oh A-a-a-a-a-a-al buh ker key ..." Love that song. Whenever I fly into the Sunport, my heart always swells over the Rio Grande valley, and I can't help but hum it. I'm sure people thing I'm a crazy person, but I love, love, love that song.

I'm so sorry - I thought I had replied to your post on my wall - in fact, I remember typing it. Hmmm. Anyhow, I had just changed my dcf "handle" from highwayflower (my website) to my real name, Diane, so i think your friend request got caught in the shuffle. Thanks for the compliments...I am a freelance graphic designer/artist and I teach high school, so both of those things keep me busy and I don't get on here often. But I had to stop by and say hi and thanks for the friend request. :)

That Lucinda Williams song is great!

Paulo Freire, I would recommend the interview/dialouge book with Ira Shor - also. The name escapes me now, it's a a lot less dense that pedagogy of the oppressed.

hi!

i actually just changed my 'tag' from highwayflower (my website/graphic design freelance business) to my real name...diane. so maybe you got caught up in the middle of that change. thanks for the props - i teach at rrhs so i was able to make it to the president's town hall meeting last week and took those pics. the rest are my own art and graphic design work.

cheers!
