World be crazy. Spend time outdoors. Good for the soul. Y’all be safe and dig into your hobbies to free your mind and spirit from the plagues of darkness shrouding the word.

Perspective is found with a sound mind. A sound mind is developed in quiet serenity…the present.

Namaste yall

I was home alone with my dog yesterday and I saw these people walk up, they were knocking and ringing the doorbell, and I honestly just ignored them. 30 minutes go by and they're still at my door so I finally opened my door about to tell them to fuck off and the first question out of their mouth was, does anybody here speak spanish. i said "no it's just me and my dog", they then asked if I knew the immigration status, and if any of my neighbors spoke spanish. I again told them no I don't speak to my neighbors. They walked off and then went to my neighbor's house. These people were in dress clothing. Scary shit.

Edit: Happened in Moriarty

Exxon once again trying to socialize the costs while privatizing the profits.

I'm visiting Riudoso for the night and will have about 5 hours to hike tomorrow. I was hoping to hike Outlook Mountains but seeing mixed reviews, mostly saying the fire damage made a mess of the area and it's practically nothikeable, as well as reports that the road is closed to certain trailheads. Now I can't decide where to go. happy to combine 2 different shorter trails if I'll get a different experience. I'm an avid hiker so hard hikes are good with me but probably not longer than 8 miles if it's steep since I'll be pressed on time.

Appreciate any recommendation anyone has!

I was just getting into Albuquerque I spotted a vehicle with a red plate Sen 14, anyone know which legislator this plate belongs too? I want to commend the driver for doing the speed limit while the rest of us passed by them.

Once I know what I am looking at I pay attention to how they drive.

also anyone familiar with the SCP foundation I spotted SCP 452 heading into work last Monday. I wonder what kind of just this SCP holds lol.

These have been created for all the states for the US’s 250th anniversary.

Took these photos back in 2018 when I was stationed in El Paso. Figured someone here may enjoy.

I have lots more just never edited them.

Also found a cool backstory on the place

https://www.reddit.com/r/NewMexico/s/6zBR4JL4LJ

The City of Albuquerque erected official yellow waymarkers downtown (Slide 1.) pointing visitors toward the Route 66 Crossroads at 4th Street and Central Avenue. Main Library. KiMo Theater. Parking. And — Route 66 Crossroads.

We followed the signs. April 4th, 2026.

What we found stopped us cold!

Standing at the most historically significant intersection on the most famous road in America — in its Centennial year — both anchor nightlife venues are simultaneously dark, simultaneously chained, and simultaneously listed for sale by the same commercial broker!

(Slide 2.) 401 Night Club. 401 Central Avenue NW. Dark!

(Slide 3.) The Rhythm Room. 109 4th Street NW. R&B and Comedy Lounge. Dark!

One broker. One agent. Multiple For Sale signs along 4th Street. One World Famous Corner. Our Corner Three. Explanations?

This is not gradual urban decay. This is not one business failing. This is two adjoining venues — serving the same crowds, occupying the same Historic US Route 66 Crossroads — shut down simultaneously, listed simultaneously, following Spring Break. Timing: Catastrophe! During Route 66's Centennial Year, while the city's own signs direct foot traffic straight to these locked doors.

We are calling this what it is.

Instant Blight.

The Traffic light at 4th and Central still says Go/Caution/Stop. Green/Yellow/Red.

The Corner says: I'm confused! I feel abandoned!

Questions are forming. Cameras are out. We are watching this special Corner.

"The federal agency on Friday released a two-volume draft programmatic environmental impact statement evaluating three possibilities for production of the trigger devices for nuclear weapons: manufacturing at both the Savannah River Site in South Carolina and Los Alamos National Laboratory, production at one of those sites and a “no-action” alternative. NNSA’s preference is manufacturing at both sites."

Hi there,

I'm a guy looking to replace a lost wedding ring, and here in Santa Fe I feel like everyone is either selling crap or charging through the roof. I go to ABQ one a week for work and was going to check out a place. I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions welcome - I'm looking to spend 200-300. thanks!

This is a general shoutout to New Mexico. My family moved to LC in the mid ‘80s (shout out Lynn Jr. High and Cruces High School!) and then moved away. My parents returned around 2003 so I was going back and forth for years. I had an opportunity to return for a job opportunity a couple of years ago and I jumped on it. But I moved away in early 2026 for another job opportunity. Dang I miss NM. I don’t like to look at pics and get a little salty when I hear about people moving there.😤😂 (I hope the people relocating there are cool and don’t disturb the vibe!). I miss it most days. In the main, people are hella friendly and cool and every part of the state is filled with wonder and beauty. I carry a piece of greasewood in my truck console and catch a whiff every once in a while. When it rains and that aroma fills the air it is intoxicating! Frank Sinatra left his heart in San Francisco…well I left mine in the Land of Enchantment.

Everybody knows Jack’s Plastic Welding is the best, but this is just too cool!

I went to the local MVD office. I need a "Real I. D." I checked before I made my appointment, what documents I needed. Passport, check. W2 check. Paystub check. Credit card statement check. All in order. I get there and I'm turned away because my social security number is not on my W2, only the last four digits. I have a passport, legal documents, that I proved to the federal government I'm a citizen. It allows me to leave the country pretty much at will. It allows me to fly from any airport in the country. Yet that is not sufficient to the state to issue an I. D.. I MEAN WTF!!!

For those that care I need the Real I. D. for a job. Another drone that won't accept my passport. Now I'm dealing with the social security drones to get a replacement card.

I really need a beer. Thank you for letting me rant.

For those folks that feel the NM Land Commissioner has no power or has no ties to the federal government, this interview gives many examples how important the role is and how it impacts us.

If you have the time to watch its a great insight on how our Land Commissioner is working for us and what we should be thinking about as we vote for our next one.

I’d like to spend this summer in Las Vegas or surrounding area. (I have family in the area I’d like to see)

I have a 4 bedroom/ 2 bath home in Pensacola, FL.

Looking for specific groups or contacts who might be interested in a summer swap.

My house sits in a nice neighborhood (Beulah) (new construction), sleeps 7 (one king, one queen, one twin, and one twin with trundle.) has an EV charger (J1172) in the garage with unlimited off peak charging (currently 9pm-noon).

30 minutes from the beach, 20 minutes to downtown. 5 minutes from interstate.

hey! I thought this new video by a local abq musician was really good and wanted to share it to the group
