Robert Mirabal book

I just finished Running Alone in Photographs by Robert Mirabal and it is AMAZING! Anyone who knows of Robert Mirabal, or anyone that is in love with New Mexico for that matter, will love this book. It is sweet, sad, full of characters you probably know, and has lots of Robert's poetry.

Albuquerque Architects Baker A+D Unveil New Site

Baker Architecture + Design

Albuquerque, NM

We want to share our updated portfolio and website with our Albuquerque friends and colleagues. It's always hard to make time to update the site, but in this "economic downturn" / these "uncertain times" (OK, who here is sick of hearing these two phrases?), we had this opportunity to take stock of what we've done over the last 6 years. We have a lot of new… Continue

Sit. Stay.

I posted this for a short time last weekend and then pulled it because I wanted to think about it for a while before posting again. There have been quite a few blogs and discussions about Albuquerque's future and growth, each one prompting me to wonder if I feel good or bad about it. It's a conflict in my head.

I moved here in March, 31 years ago. I was very disappointed with the lack of green, the lack of (what i knew as) ethnic food, the sand that blew in my face, the lack of… Continue

The Cult of Coronado (the Wiener)

Whether you’re a Burqueño, a Northeast Heightseño or a Nob Hilleño, you know it. I know it. Coronado Wieners are where it’s at…wherever that may be. They’re the bomb…and the packaging looks like one too--like a case of dynamite from a loony western cartoon.

I once debated with myself about smuggling a two-pound, pink package of Coronados with me on a plane. But I feared it would have caused panic with the TSA once the wieners hit the… Continue

Dear Albuquerque

Dear Albuquerque,

We met for the first time nearly a decade ago. You were meant to be a rest spot, a mere pause in my vector aimed somewhere else.

I had never even heard of Albuquerque—your name like a rock in my mouth, damn near impossible to spell. I had pictured desert palms sweeping upwards majestically, a globular sun bright as egg yolks. I imagined sand, coyotes, and glittery sombreros. I packed only shorts and t-shirts.

The giant Goodwill on Juan… Continue

New to blogging

I am new to this world. My main interest is in the area of real estate. I am an agent with Keller Williams Realty and have been in the industry for about 12 years now. I am a native New Mexican. Yesterday, the Albuquerque Journal Outlook had an article that said interest rates will probably be at 4.5% for a 30 year loan next week. Today interest rates are at 5.1%. I never thought I would see these rates. Also, the government is thinking about giving a $22,000 tax credit to homebuyers. This is… Continue

Geneticaly Modified Green Chile....

Why mess with perfection?

The New Mexico State Legislature has approved funding

to develop genetically-modified chile.

Is there anything wrong with our chile now that it

requires modification? Isn't it wonderful just as it

is, delicious and nutritious and flavorful?

Genetically-modified seeds automatically become

the property of its creators.

Want to learn more?

Come on out to the UNM SUB Ballroom

on December 13th at… Continue

Go Tell Your Mama - It's Obama! (campaign signs in a post election world)

Wow! There were so many times in the past eight years that I thought a positive change to the national political scene was going to be impossible without a total breakdown of the system, a complete dismantling and even civic revolution. Last night, watching a new, young, charismatic leader accept the Presidency Elect of our country I was (thankfully) proved wrong.

Barack Obama and his brilliant campaign team have, I believe, changed the election process for the future of America.… Continue

Latest Happenings at The Cow

We've been open for business for a couple of weeks now and we've gotten great feedback from fellow artists and local shoppers. Most call our approach "daring" and "exciting" and have been happy to see the results of our well-laid plans.

This photos shows the gateway from our main featured hallway, leading into our larger gallery space (with 20-foot ceilings). Work on display in this image includes pieces by Caitlin Padilla, Christian Gallegos, Jeannette Lyle, Rich… Continue

Where do you go????

Ponderosa, a Journey to the Tower.

This morning I woke up early to get everything ready for a ride to Ponderosa. I usually prepare everything the night before, packing my camera, batteries, snacks, water, GPS etc. But I don't load it on the bike until the next morning. The sun was just making its way up behind the… Continue

Monticello, The Box

Well in this segment we finally reached the Monticello Box. It was a good ride, there was plenty of water crossings getting there and I was soaked. On this picture you can see the camera mounted on the helmet. It is a good set up, except it's hard to aim it correctly. On the bike when I stand I get a different view as when I am sitting, so I might… Continue

Monticello, In Search for the Box

We continued to penetrate the Monticello stream valley with LC4Dakar leading the way. Our goal was to reach the box. The water did not seem as deep as in the beginning, but the stream had plenty of water. We started to see more of the canyon and soon the canyon would get taller. We still had not reached the green gate.…
