Bienvenidos a Nuevo Mexico!

Many of us residents of Los Alamos were VC volunteers then. We mapped trails & cleaned up Baca Ranch trash on weekends back then. I’ve cycled every mile of road, crossed the valles on xc & all-terrain skiis, led Scouts on antler shed collections, hunted elk & turkey. Good times!

Think I’ll go walk the labyrinth at Museum Hill until this #MarchMadness game has ended. If there are #springbreak tourists, I’ll be home to take a nap.

From NWS Boulder on Twitter: Ok, so this was almost right. As of 1 PM Thursday I-80 is closed across southern Wyoming (Cheyenne - Rock Springs) too. Check cotrip dot org and wyroad dot info for updates. The Quoted Tweet from NWS Boulder: If you’re looking for alternatives to I-70 west of Denver today, none of the highways into the Colorado mountains are a suitable choice. Go through Wyoming or New Mexico, or wait until tomorrow. Hashtag I 70 1:47 PM 3/14/24

Heads up:

NWS and the state DOTs are really clear: There is no way across the Rockies in Colorado and Wyoming today, maybe tomorrow. Montana I-90 and I-94 appear to be okay. I-40 across New Mexico has construction, but is fine. Either re-route as far in advance as you can, or hole up.

Defendant Schubarth and his coconspirators completed multiple overt acts in furtherance of the conspiracy, including but not limited to: • On or about January 25, 2013, Person A entered the United States with biological tissue from a Marco Polo argali sheep that had been hunted in Kyrgyzstan. Person A did not declare the animal parts upon entry, knowing importation of a threatened species violated the federal Engendered Species Act. • On or about October 6, 2015, Schubarth entered into an “Ovine Cloning Contract” to clone an unspecified number of Marco Polo sheep from the tissue and provided a deposit of $4,200 for the cloning.

On or about May 15, 2017, a pure Marco Polo argali sheep male was born from the cloned embryos, which Schubarth named Montana Mountain King (“MMK”). Schubarth imported MMK to Schubarth Ranch, knowing the species was prohibited in Montana. • Starting in 2018 at the latest, Schubarth harvested semen from MMK in order to inseminate ewes via LAP-AI to create Marco Polo argali hybrid offspring. On or about November 15, 2018, Person C transported twenty-six prohibited species of sheep from Minnesota to Schubarth Ranch to be artificially inseminated with MMK semen, knowing such species were transported in violation of Montana law. • On or about May 4, 2019, Person A transported one MMK offspring sheep from Person C’s residence in Minnesota to Schubarth Ranch, knowing the species was transported in violation of Montana law.

On or about November 15, 2019, Person C transported forty-eight prohibited species of ewes from Minnesota to Schubarth Ranch to be artificially inseminated with MMK semen, knowing the species were transported in violation of Montana law. • On or about July 13, 2020, Schubarth agreed to sell Person D and Person E eleven sheep containing 25% MMK genetics for $13,200 and an offspring of MMK, named “Montana Black Magic” or “MBM” for $10,000. • On or about July 15, 2020, Person E procured a Texas Animal Health Commission Certificate of Veterinary Inspection for the interstate export of forty-three sheep which were falsely declared as New Mexico Dahl Sheep.

• On or about July 15, 2020, Person D and Person E transported forty-three falsely labeled sheep from Texas to Schubarth Ranch, knowing the true species were prohibited in Montana. • On or about July 17, 2020, Person E issued Schubarth a $23,000 check to purchase twelve MMK offspring. • On or about July 17, 2020, Person E procured a Montana Department of Livestock Certificate of Veterinary Inspection showing the transfer of MBM, falsely declared as “Bighorn x,” from Schubarth in Montana to Person E in Texas.

A Montana rancher pleaded guilty yesterday to crimes relating to illegally importing tissue from an endangered sheep species—the world's largest variety—from Central Asia, paying a service to clone embryos from the tissue, & then raising offspring and selling semen & offspring to pay-to-hunt ranches

Oh, I’ve never understood tarot interpretations.🔮

I’m comfortable with & appreciate checkpoints in many New Mexico places.

This card, random draw, morning after🔥purge of memories?🤔 interesting. “social media break”😏 Bueno Bueno, take care!

we have a legal obligation under Section 502B to stop furnishing security assistance to “any country the government of which engages in a consistent pattern of gross violation of internationally recognized human rights.”

Nice capture of those moments!

The image contains a block of text which reads: there’s laundry to do and a genocide to stop there’s laundry to do and a genocide to stop. I have to eat better and also avoid a plague. my rent went up $150. I’ll need to pick up more shifts. Twenty people died in Rafah this morning and every major news outlet is stretching the limits of passive voice to suggest whole families may have leaped up through the air at missiles that otherwise had the right of way. I just got a notification that my student loan payments are starting up again and my phone isn’t charged. My cousin got COVID for a fourth time and can no longer work or walk or even feed himself. The person across from me on the L train seems to fashion themself a punk rock revolutionary, but they’re not wearing a face mask, and that’s the kind of cognitive dissonance that makes me want to steal batteries. Fascists keep winning primaries for both parties, and I think I gained a few pounds. (cont in comments)

This one feels like a punch in the chest:

The fact that I know more about Fani Willis’ and Nathan Wade’s relationship than I do about the crimes committed by Ginni Thomas and Clarence Thomas shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

It's not whether you'll be affected, it's how you'll be affected and whether you'll have the luxury of resources to adapt to whatever happens in your spot on Earth (too many will not).

Santa Fe shouldn’t see bulbs sprouting for at least another month. These hyacinth tips will most likely freeze. 😢

Free to watch on YouTube - Semester class at Yale 2022 is a series of 26 lectures, each 50 minutes at a fast pace. I will be so sad when I reach the last. Excellent, helps to understand Ukrainian history with Russia that started back over a thousand years ago.

In years before the Cerro Grande Fire we had them in our trees in Los Alamos. Had to hold down my 75lb red tick hound on the kitchen floor a few times while husband pulled quills out of her mouth & face with pliers. She’d been bred for treeing nuisance predators so she never gave up.

Wishing you all a peaceful day ☀️

The last moments in the film’s credits were devoted to the word “komorebi”. I am so glad we saw it. Beautiful.

New Mexico residents, whose property and livelihoods were destroyed by a 2022 wildfire accidentally triggered by the U.S. government, have become reluctant students of forest management and evacuation, disaster aid and bureaucracy, trauma and resiliency.

failing so far & giving up for today

SFCC offers resources for students to attend college, parent at the same time School time and family time can coincide — with the right resources, officials say.

Santa Fe Community College’s work to welcome the families and experiences students bring with them is important – both for the parents and their kids.

They will love you for that.🤗

Dinner at home Is chicken, in blue corn rolled, “Christmas”. Sauce is El Pinto brand & that’s muy bueno.
