NewMexiKen, still hacking from the Virginia cooties, is going to Santa Fe for the afternoon — get some fresh air, take some photos of the aspens (if it’s not too late), and have a little repast on the plaza, as people have been doing for nearly 400 years.
And don’t worry Albuquerqueans, true to our apparent sworn civic duty, I promise I won’t like Santa Fe no matter how wonderful a time I have.
(Actually, in NewMexiKen’s opinion, living an hour from Santa Fe, one of the unique, special cities in the U.S. — an attraction people travel for thousands of miles to enjoy — is a bonus to living in Albuquerque. In other words, one of my very favorite things about Albuquerque is Santa Fe.)
Before I go:
Scott Adams tells us about being In Over My Head. Self-serving, no doubt, but still interesting. Go read it. (Adams claims he’s turned down as much as $100,000 to give an hour-long speech. His blog is free.) Link via Three Bed Two Bath.
Andrew Tobias has links showing how the Republicans can win the election, no matter what the polls say, including this, “hotel mini-bar keys open Diebold voting machines.”
And, in what one hopes will be a self-fulfilling prophecy, House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) said today that anyone who covered up information about contacts between then Rep. Mark Foley and male pages “really ought to go.”
