Peaceful Apaches
Hi blogsters: I've been back reading more of Coronado's Quest when my head gets to trying to swim upstream looking at all those numbers. It's a worthy piece of work. Grove Day's research is solid and he bases everything on direct quotes from Spanish records: memoirs of members of the expedition, Board of Inquiry reports and statements from the Church arm of the foray. He backs this up occasionally with tr...

Till the end of time. Lyrics.
Till the end of time `long as stars are in the blue `Long as there's a spring, a bird to sing, I'll go on loving you. Till the end of time. `long as roses bloom in May, My love for you will go deeper with every passing day. Till the wells run dry and each mountain disappear, I'll be there for you to care for you through laughter and through tears. So take my hand in sweet surrender, and tenderly say that I'm The one you'...

Shuffling, cutting and dealing numbers
Evening blogsters: I've been neglecting this thing. The last couple of days I've been distracting meself fairly hard looking at numbers. I dunno. I'm beginning to think I'm an amazingly stupid individual in more ways than I usually give myself credit for. I have a text file of everything Alonzo Wright (Big Loooser) said while he was posting here. Been going over the hints he gave trying to understand what he was saying. Here are a few of the jew...

Tuning up for a new century
About this time a century ago, Pancho Villa raided the US town of Columbus, New Mexico, and the adjoining US Army camp, and occupied it a few days, killing, burning, robbing the bank. The dead were mostly US soldiers....

Strange doings in Northern Mexico
Las Palomas used to be a sleepy berg, quiet, where US oldsters thronged to buy prescription meds at a tiny fraction of the prices this side of the border. One paved street, the rest dirt, gravity flow concrete lined sewer ditches you had to watch your step to avoid when the covers were off or broken. There was a hardware store, a sort of souvineer s...

One that got caught
For some while I ve been haranguing you bloggers to take a look at what this War on Drugs is doing to destroy our institutions, mainly in the criminal justice arena. Here s an example of a tip-of-the-iceberg for-instance: The Lincoln Courier, Lincoln, Ill, reports police Cpl. Diana R. Short, 46, and her husband, paramedic John T. Short, 41, were charged with several drug felonies, including growing marijuana in their home f...

The Last Gold Rush
Probably some of you younger blog readers aren't aware that pre-lottery Americans had their own dreams of finding a way out of the monetary strait-jackets. Around the turn of the last century thousands of men with guts and a shared dream rushed to Alaska following the discovery of gold in the Yukon. During the 1920s and '30s they rushed to Oklahoma and Texas in a rags to riches (for a few) wildcatting-for-oil frenzy. Mostly the minerals became a...

could newbies swing the vote?
People who bothered to vote last time will probably vote the same way in November. Last time was close. This time, 4 years worth of 18th birthdays and a multi-angled media blitz might just change things. ---MTV is trying to get 20,000,000 voters in their demographic to the polls ("rock the vote") ---The disenfranchised and angst-ridden punk and skate set is being motivated by such outlets as PunkVoter and their "Rock Against Bush" compilation CDs. ---M...
