About Time

Okay crew, it’s a new year and I better get something down here even if it’s brief, of no importance and no one will see it. On to it! Oh, I did get a better weather widget on the right sidebar from accuweather.com. I had studiously avoided watching the Republican primary debates because there was no [...] [...]

More stuff

Since I have been recuperating from a surgery I have been watching a lot of movies, some good and some bad. (streaming is wonderful! ) So, in the spirit of keeping this blog a little fresher I’d like to add some more good movies I have seen. The 3, what I call the “girl who” movies [...] [...]

Way Long Time

Wow, what a long time it has been since I added anything here. I just lost interest in the darn thing (my blog) and ignored it for far too long. I guess the first thing I would like to add in here is that one of the real heroes in the Native American community has passed [...] [...]

It’s Been A Long Hot Summer Already

June was a beastly month with lots of days in the 100′s and no rain. So far July has been better but still hardly any rain. We did get a couple 100ths the other night but it was gone by morning. It has been clouding up in the afternoon the last few days and it [...] [...]

From One Extreme To Another

Well, the title of this post might be a little extreme as well but the weather has given us a big twist in the last 24 hours. It has gone from 90 degrees and very high winds to an inch and a half of snow on the ground and 29 degrees.  Thank God for the [...] [...]

Steven F. Havill

I have finished reading Steven F Havill’s newest Posadas County mystery “Double Prey” and it is up to his usual standards. In other words I loved the book. I hope he comes out with a new one soon. Bill Gastner and Estelle Guzman have become like old friends to me. And, yes! there is a [...] [...]

Vivaldi’s Women

I finally got my copy of Vivaldi’s Women – Gloria. It took a while as it was mailed from the UK but was worth the wait. The music was great and the instrument players were quite accomplished. I very much enjoyed it and the production gave me a good impression of what the coro at [...] [...]

Vivaldi and Good Books

Ok, this is going to be one of my musical posts, well kind of a musical post anyway. Now for the main idea here. For some reason, and I can’t remember why, I got interested in Antonio Vivaldi’s music. I bought a recording of his most well known work, “The Four Seasons”. Then after rummaging around [...] [...]

Extreme Cold!

We have had near record temps here in Quay County, New Mexico. Last week, Thursday morning to be exact, we recorded a low temperature of 18 below zero (Fahrenheit). It was not a record but close to it. The record low recorded was 22 below in 1963. However, who knows what the real low temperature [...] [...]

Quite Cold

We have been under a real cold spell the last few days. Yesterday morning was only 2 degrees, so far the coldest this year which isn’t saying much because we are not even half way through with January! Oh well, at least I wrote something here. [...]
