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.

Makes sense. This account is promotional...promoting awareness/appreciation for New Mexico, mostly in an uncompensated capacity. Not much beyond covering costs. I don't even have a t-shirt for sale. 🤣

On the other hand, posting about travel on social media in 2026 seems like an exercise in futility, particularly while sporting a spam label. 😑

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.

True. Friendship also means you get to celebrate their victories and successes along the way. Often, the trajectory is more fun than the ensuing fame and notoriety.

I understand. I got a spam label as an early, unwanted Christmas present from Bluesky. Despite appeals to Bluesky Moderation, it might be permanent.
The spam label corresponds to prolific furry kink in the Discover Feed, 10-15% of my Discover feed since getting a spam label compared to 0% before.

New Mexico isn't puzzling.
Three UNESCO sites out of 23 in the US. Could have been 4 of 24, but the US Air Force wasn't keen on White Sands becoming #4. Spicy cuisine, gorgeous outdoor destinations representing 6 of the 7 life zones, cultural/linguistic diversity, etc. New Mexico is amazing. IYKYK
