Bad stuff. Get the shots, hang in there.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

That's not the Valle, BTW. Not there yet.

John Hamilton Farr @jhfarr.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, good description. From Taos to Costilla and Amalia and the the Valle, all the way across and come out just north of Cimarron, then all the way back. Agree about not much non-driving time. Still worth it. Drive 5 miles out of Cimarron to Philmont & come back, too. Pronghorns almost guaranteed.

Ask @nmrocks.bsky.social about camping choices, she's an expert. But it's definitely day-trippable from Taos and your Subaru will be just fine. Last gas before entering Valle Vidal is at the intersection in Costilla. You'll be here 10-15 minutes later.

Right! Sadistic & psychotic to pull the plug on Esmeralda 7.

He was so goddamn cool he'd freeze the sun. I saw him once at a distance standing with his band outside a venue in the fall of '63 in Dallas. (NO, REALLY!) He looked just like this photo. It's still burned into my memory.

Paul is no longer On Here, to our loss. He writes today about a continuing problem on Bluesky, although he does not frame it that way.

It bugs me too, and it is the most likely thing to drive me Off Here.

I enjoy subtlety in others' and my own writing. It is a craft. It no longer works.

A Post-Literate Society is a Too-Literal Society

Directness is a virtue and subtlety is lost
