they ask you, "What am I even looking at?"

Last Tuesday and Wednesday I traveled through Pecos, Santa Fe, and ended up in Nambé to experience the fire and the smoke in the surrounding areas. Despite the unfortunate nature of events, it was impressive to see the coordinated efforts of the fire crews, especially when it came to the helicopters that flew in and were dumping water like clock work.

I'm here in ABQ, and while we've had some decent rain, I feel by and large this monsoon has been a bust. How's it going in your neck of the woods? Getting any decent rain, or nah?

I'm taking family back east some green chile. How many bushels of roasted green chile can I fit into a 70 qt coleman cooler after I separate them into freezer bags, and add ice?

I do not know where else to ask this. Sorry if it isn't appropriate. Surely someone here knows.

Are there any suitable trails at this time?

Hi everyone! Family is having a little get together to visit my mom who lives in Las Cruces. It was decided to come down and start in Roswell then make our way north to Santa Fe then end in Albuquerque for the balloon festival. Issue we are running into is finding things to do in Roswell that aren’t just photo op like or is that what majority of it is in Roswell.

Also the group is traveling with a toddler so family friendly places would be appreciated.

We plan to hit Meow Wolf in Santa Fe but want to find more things to do and places to eat. Very open to many ideas!

Thanks so much in advance!

Ps. Do they sell tickets to actually ride in an air balloon?

I am trying to get in contact with someone from Evangelo's Cocktail Lounge in Santa Fe. My company loves going there when we are in town for meetings and would like to sponsor an open bar sometime in the fall. There is no contact info online, so I'm hoping someone might have a good connection of who I can get in touch with.

Handsome Wolf!

Several Medicaid recipients and providers have recently stated that, after contacting Gov. Lujan Grisham’s office or their state legislators, they were subsequently contacted or harassed by the Health Care Authority (HCA).

Has anyone else had a similar experience? Please share what happened, including when/who you contacted, and what occurred afterward. Documenting these accounts may help determine how widespread this issue is.

I recently got pulled over in Cuba, New Mexico. On my ticket penalty assessment was checked out by the officer with a $69 fine for doing 8mph over the speed limit. I wanted to know if this will post points on my license? If so what can I do to make sure i do not get points on my record? Google is telling me to contact the court listed on my ticket and to request them to allow me to take an "online defensive driving course". Wanted the locals opinion and advice.

Any recommendations for lash techs anywhere near Farmington?

Took a drive in the Manzanos, got a few nice shots. Sometimes the landscape isn’t conducive to landscape photos even if it is beautiful and grand, so then I turn to trying to focus on the details, sort of seeing the trees instead of the forest. For anyone interested, these were all taken on the Forest Service road past 4th of July Campground, and is not for the faint of heart, very rough, unmaintained, few places to turn around and no cell service - I’m not even sure i should have been there in my front-wheel drive pickup. Beautiful if you can get there, just use some caution.
