Getting gone for a while does a body good. For two months I’ve been visiting old haunts in Santa Fe and checking in with half forgotten trails, old coffee houses, burrito joints, and the compounds of dear friends. Throw in some opera, Lannan lectures, SITE Santa Fe and some cheap wine at galleries and you have a Santa Fe vacation. But it wasn’t all sweet sunsets and appetizers. There were some shocking discoveries that brought the big picture back to my own front door.

I remember a satirical barb in John Howard Kuntsler’s book, The Long Emergency. Anyone wishing for a technological fix to the problems of the world was investing in the magic of Jiminy Cricket. Not anymore.

I have a communications disorder. It's called 'talking with fundamentalists.' Any help would be appreciated.

I have a tree. And I have a box of lights from garage sales and deceased relatives. One called out to the other and I responded.

It would be so, so easy to lampoon the Republican debates and so ‘done already’ that I decided to take a step back and do what a friend of mine suggested, that is, to review the debates from a more removed, transcendent position, which, in his mind at least, he labels as the ‘Obamaway’. For me, this is like eating popcorn laced with LSD. It’s really horrible, but you can’t stop.

My first thought when Greg walked in the door was ‘This guy’s gonna try and sell me a car.’ And I was right. He had me at ‘low mileage and high performance’. And even if he hadn’t tried, I was ready with a down payment because I would have paid just to hear about the other customers and their stories.

To all of you, my heroes of the parks, this is my equivalent of chicken soup. To the vegans, carrot ginger later.

I don't have any money left to move so I thought about Ron Paul and that if I had a dollar for every 'gentleman's club' in his home district I would be a millionaire. I think that Crystal Balz and Tiffany Gold are on his election committee, but only from 11pm to 2am.

Occupy!!

God, it is so early! The sun hasn't hit the Sangre de Christos and I've already done a pot of crappy coffee. I need to shave. I need to eat some toast. I need to scream from the rooftops that's it all going to get better. I need to fill the bird water. But first, I'm going to stop and listen to the coyotes, because they have all the answers.

To the West of my portal there are burned forests in Arizona. South and east there are Mexican border towns where severed heads occasionally show up in Igloo coolers. Large scale unemployment has been replaced with large scale industrial copper mining. Another Lose/Lose proposition.

I have been writing on a small blog in southern New Mexico for several years now. This is my first foray on Kos and it means two things: One is that I will be embarrassed in front of more people and two, that in the race between consciousness and catastrophe, catastrophe is winning. I can't have that. My money's on consciousness. In the first.
