Consequences of prolonged knee contact with a human throat

-
Was employed as a dirt poor adjunct professor at the community college in Clovis, New Mexico for close to 2.5 years. The town, just on the edge of tornado alley, is full of friendly folks and a Taco Villa! There used to be Quiznos that got replaced by a piss poor Wing place!!!

I followed the news closely and do not recall A SINGLE INCIDENCE of police brutality or expressions of racism/violence towards the decently educated African American contingent. I was rather surprised to see this peaceful George Floyd protest at the corner of 7th and Main street near the conservation of water billboard you see in the picture.

The police officer assigned to monitor this rather sluggish assembly of protester had an easy job on this 102 degree Fahrenheit windy day. The composition of this Black Lives Matter group was 75% Black with a few token White people enjoying the attention of videoing motorists. 

I wanted to stop and personally ask any of sign bearing people if they had experienced anything bad with Clovis law enforcement? Rebecca Dewere has faintly suggested on a few social media platforms that racism does exist, but in a more systemic rather than the overt "call you a nigger in public" that you get from a lot of West Texas oilfield rednecks.

I do applaud the civilized nature of the demonstration and respect the informed nature of the populace which is  home to some   Asian/Ethnic Stores due to the Cannon Air Force Base.

Don't be fooled by this Email Spoofing Entity

Do NOT be duped  livenlonpro unsolicited emails claiming that you have had a credit card application rejected. Jennifer Abel wrote about the nightmare experienced by James R Hood regarding a fake Amazon order. ScamAdviser published its opinion that the site is safe, but do not be deceived. They sent me an email about my credit card application being rejected and I HAD NOT APPLIED FOR A CREDIT CARD IN OVER 4 YEARS. Max Gannon, writing for CoFence, details how they are the classic Phishing scam. Do not download anything from them unless you enjoy having your laptop or desktop paralyzed by malware from their email spoofing algorithm!! I was not able to find the physical address of  livenlonpro  which is a strong indication they are fly by night fraudsters.

The Clerk has your Gasoline Receipt

How many times on a cold or rainy day have you gotten the following message at the gas pump indicating you have to enter the convenience store in order to pick up your receipt for gasoline purchase? The last thing anybody wants to see from a credit card purchase gas pump is a message stating that the clerk has the receipt! On this particular day, I was already late to pick up our daughter from day care and did not have time to walk into AllSups to pick up receipt from the convenience store attendant. Did I say CONVENIENCE store!? I think many roadside convenience stores intentionally do not reload the receipt paper rolls in order to force customers into their establishment. Once inside, customer may buy a lottery ticket, cigarettes, beer, condom, etc. Many patrons need the gas receipts either to be reimbursed by their employer or for their IRS tax itemization. Gas stations doing this are in violation of some law. Not many of have the time to file a lawsuit against gas

Homeowner's Tree dangerously Blocking Stop Sign

 As I far as I know code enforcement has contacted the female you see in the picture below regarding a huge front yard tree that is blocking a stop sign at a busy four way intersection.  She would be in violation of laws dealing with obstructing traffic signs in any other city. She resides at 113 West Deming Zip code 88203 in Roswell New Mexico. You can see how dangerous her uncut and untrimmed huge tree is at the corner of South Richardson and Deming in the picture below. I am sure she has received a lot of stimulus money as well as unemployment payments from Uncle Sam so I know she has the cash to cover the costs of cutting the hazardous tree down to size!! I worked for code enforcement in Midland Texas and they would have warned this homeowner once and the then fined her for neglect and threatening the general welfare of the public. I was going to apply for job in Roswell, but will find another place to live if the city has people who care so little for their fellow citizens!!! It i
