Heading to a rally later this morning. How is everyone doing? I am wondering when I will be able to sleep past 3 am again. My circadian rhythm is discordant at this point.

Idea for 2026 New Mexico travel messaging...
There are lots of free/cheap things to see & do, in pretty/peaceful environments, often with no cell phone signal, power lines, or humans.
International travel is toast + domestic travel declines dramatically if we are broke & society is a hot mess.

Dripping Springs Trail is an easy to moderate, 3-mile loop trail near Las Cruces, New Mexico. It leads to the ruins of a 19th-century resort and sanatorium. Another trail leads to Hermit's cave, a rock shelter occupied by the Italian hermit Giovanni Maria Agostini in the 1860s.

Took a quick trip to the Jemez, Los Alamos, and Española yesterday. Dog and I needed scenery and fewer people.
New Mexico really, really needs some snow. It's weird to see the Valles Caldera with no snow in January. Tippy tops of Baldie and Truchas had snow, but the mountains are bare. 😐

The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, aka the VLA, is a tool designed to study astronomical objects. The complex consists of 27 radio telescopes, placed in a Y-shaped configuration. They move the dishes into 4 standard arrangements on a 3-month rotation to vary level of detail and sensitivity.

Dripping Springs Natural Area is a popular hiking destination, with over 4-miles of easy to moderate hiking trails. Dripping Springs Trail is approximately 3-miles long (roundtrip). The trail's name is based on a natural spring at the back of the canyon, aka the “Weeping Wall.”

The bells of the Basilica of San Albino in Mesilla: The first, small copper bell was cast in 1876. Two larger bells were cast in 1886. The final, and largest, was cast in 1887. The church assigned “godparents” to care for them, an honor passed through generations of the same family.

I always thought the first time I had a chance to see and photograph the Aurora it would be somewhere like Iceland, or Alaska. I was wrong. It was in New Mexico! 😂
And if you look closely, you can see a bit of the Milky Way up above as well.

Another appeal sent re. the spam filter. No response so far.
Ever since they labeled this account as spam, the Discover feed became very populated w/ furry kink. Correlation isn't causation, but...
I have access to other Bluesky accounts. Checked the Discover feed. No random kink. 🤨

Fort Stanton is an intact 19th-century military fort established in 1855. The fort served as a frontier post during the Apache Wars, the Civil War, evolving into a tuberculosis hospital & WWII internment camp. Adjacent to Fort Stanton-Snowy River Cave National Conservation Area.
