Mild Rants

  There has been a great deal written about parents who encroach on public land for the purpose of memorializing a child who has died in an automobile or motorcycle crash. In fact, roadside memorials are illegal in most states including New Mexico USA.  Chris Raymond writes authoritatively on the subject indicating that he understands the needs of the grieving family members to favorably remember a kid who died due to careless drunk driving possibly killing others whose families sometimes demand damages for vehicular homicide cause of death. The family of Dakota M. Moore used solar-powered lights to illuminate a White Cross for viewing by passing motorist on Highway 70 between Ruidoso and Roswell. We observed a vehicle swerving in front of us, on our way back to Midland Texas, distracted by the light that the Moore family erected on public land. I have also heard that welders use smokeless tobacco more than the general population. The righteous perish,     and n...

 So 8 incarcerated criminals backed by ACLU are suing the state of New Mexico. The lawsuit demands the courts to intervene in a fashion that will release inmates, at extreme risk to the general public, to stunt further transmission of the novel corona virus. Nothing was mentioned about the severity of crimes committed by the eight crooks who are filing the lawsuit. Were they child molesters, rapist, repeat DWI offenders, or even murderers?  Attorney Lalita Moskowitz would be compelled to divulge anything in the criminal backgrounds of the 8 lowlifes who were locked up FOR A REASON!! Why does this remind me of the unacceptable actions of the couple Delores August and Carlos Lucero? These two clowns refused to cooperate with a police investigation  apparently not feeling they were obligated to assist Albuquerque's finest in the apprehension of a criminal!!!!

 Back drop for this article is Dumaguete, Negros where a gentlemen gently peddles his end of life philosophy vlogging with his wife Jen in Philippines.  His YouTube Pen Name is " Every Man Has a Story " where he never discloses his real name probably because it could adversely affect his ad revenue which he appears to heavily rely upon. Everybody makes enemies who can potentially harm your ability to produce income so I do not blame the man who had an out of body experience after a childhood tonsillectomy operation after he lied to the attending nurse in order to ingest more pain killing medicine. He said he rose to the ceiling and could see fine details in the paint and could also turn back and view his body in the hospital bed. He does not appear to respect organized religion or believe in God.    Every Man Has a Story retired away form the major medical centers enjoyed by residents of Cebu and Manilla and is concerned about end of life health care which he will li...

In this worrisome Corona Virus era, many Americans with means take to the road. The perception is COVID is unlikely to kill you in the ventilated outdoors. So as weary travelers we happened upon this campground with a Tepee, constructed from Pine logs,  in the village of Ruidoso New Mexico USA. It was located not too far from the intersection of Sudderth and Mechem not too distant from a fine dining establishment named Tina's. Don't have their delectable Coconut cream pie if you are diabetic or struggle with controlling your blood sugar.  We can not think of the name of RV/camping area in middle of the city, but did meet a very pleasant gentleman named Ross McClure. Also the lady, Ana, who appears to own and run the weekend getaway was ultra friendly and accommodating. I was disappointed in commentary by Brian Dameron who felt the pet owner accommodations were substandard.  Ana was not gestapo about donning masks even though some of the guests were taking libert...

I thought of Steve Sailer as I almost struck a bicycle operator who had just run a 4 way stop sign near the cheerleader producing school in Corsicana, Texas.  I don't think it was cheerleader because I would have seen her muscular arse spilling out all over the bike seat and stopped to just to worship something I know I will never enjoy! In my youth, I NEVER knew a cheerleader who was not a screamer.  Some bicyclers have become traffic nuisances because of the many unfair laws that protect their right of way even if it means a 40 mph traveling car has to slow down for them or switch lanes abruptly which happens to be one of the most common causes of an injurious crash! The following comment sort of sums up all that I despise about the Bike owner mindset:  I am sympathetic to the cyclists. If they want to risk their lives to reduce carbon emissions, pollution and improve their health( while causing head on collisions and crashes for motorists trying to dodge them! ), ...

We were on the phone trying to contact Matt Vance after a harrowing incident involving a 2009 Ford  F350 Super Duty FX4 Lariat King Ranch Black pick up truck(Plate Number 595TDZ) near CloudCroft NM.  The driver of the vehicle was about 4 feet behind us in a 45 mph zone where we were already going over 50 miles per hour. He honked and then aggressively passed us almost striking our new Camry while waving his hands and screaming with his window rolled down. After the ignorant fool passed us he almost rear ended the car that was previously in front of us HONKING HIS HORN impatiently at his new victim. , He turned right on road across the street from pit bbq place and parked near the Sew Happy garment, seamstress, quilting, and embroidery  establishment run by Bobbi Huber. Don't think he entered the place.  The driver of truck had been following us closely all the way from Mayhill which alarmed my wife who called local authorities with his tag number. We also l...
