Yep, my landladies in Texas who owned a cattle/wheat operation, in addition to the house I rented on their property, were mighty amused when my East coast ass called everything a cow. Even when it was CLEARLY a bull. And I should have known better, my grampa in Massachusetts had always raised calves for sale.

Usually, the non-purebreds have better health, but not always. I’m about $5000 in on medical bills for a 6 yo rescue dog. So, just saying...

If no one has mentioned this yet, may I recommend The Worst Idea Of All Time season two podcast? Two crazy, and they get crazier, Kiwis watch and review SATC II every week for a year. At a serious cost it their sanity.

Pretty much! Ooh! Ooh! Forgot cheese grits with green chile, very tasty

Yes, New Mexico. Here is a list of things that should not have chile in them, but often do: sushi, bread pudding (dessert, not savory), peanut brittle and fudge. Here is a list of things that green chile is surprisingly good in (beside the obvious cheeseburgers, eggs and stew): pepperoni pizza, ranch dressing, salsa,…

Hold onto your hat: green chile can end up in the biscuit gravy too.

Yes, Siri (American, standard) is total shit at pronouncing Spanish-ish street names. It is sadly hilarious. I say Spanish-ish because I live in New Mexico and we have a lot of dubious Spanish names. Some of it is because language shifts and and people came here from Spain hundreds of years ago and tried to hold onto…

Yes, but I’m an aqua slut. I need another aqua anything like I need a hole in my head, but that never stops me.

I got clobbered this morning at 5 am by a water bottle while rooting around for the two bottles my son will need for school. One is filled with tea, brewed by me (of course) and the other with iced water (for zero hour marching practice) oh and there is a Gatorade in his lunch.

CSPD needs to recall Joe Kenda from retirement to solve the case!

I had the same experience with In-N-Out. Lived in California for 3 years and ate me some on a regular basis. Moved away and it was 10 long years until I double-doubled again. And it was garbage in my mouth. Tried again a year later and nope. I think it’s true both that our tastes evolve or change and some times the…

Good story says Ms. I.P. Freely

People graffiti on our petroglyphs too. Or if the rock is small enough, try to take them home. Chip them off etc. grrrrr

She is popular in New Mexico too, haunting the banks of the Rio Grande. Someone wrote an opera about her a few years ago. She is also used as a bogey man to keep the kids in line.

Preach! And no suits except birthday suits. They make the water all foamy, like og Freaky Friday washing machine foamy.

My personal fashion icon is the Shambling Mound, an old school D&D fav.
