Your stories are forever woven into the fabric of our country, our communities, and what it means to be New Mexican and American—and we are grateful you are here! 🇺🇸✨

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Ben Folds is maybe my all-time favorite artist. This is a phenomenal cover but not one I included on my list.
That would be “Bitches Ain’t Shit”.

Watercolour of gardens in #Winchester with the cathedral in the background. This was done on one of several sketching visits in the '90s. You can soak up history in Winchester which has a wonderful atmosphere, dank and timeless, very nostalgic for me.
