Banks 121, 122 and 123 of 2009 were taken over by the FDIC Friday. There are five New Mexico Banks on the unofficial problem bank list.

Rudolfo Carillo has a remembrance worth reading about Bruce King, the three-term governor of New Mexico who died yesterday. You don’t need to be a New Mexican to appreciate the story.

Elaine hasn’t posted this morning’s sunrise photo yet, but I’m guessing it’d be mostly grey (or is it gray?) and snowy. She lives in the foothills near Colorado Springs. The set of photos on her home page right now surely deserves your click.

And, again, I recommend you read Cameron Todd Willingham, Texas, and the death penalty.

I got home Thursday night after 22 days away. I missed clear blue skies, the smell of wood burning in the fall evening, lots of stars at night and New Mexican food. But you know what I missed most, don’t you? That little silver car in the garage.

Even so, I suppose that doesn’t justify 85 mph on Paseo del Norte when I took it out yesterday. 🙂
