So many tiny details in life. We can't remember them all!

We had a special visitor at work yesterday. This little Flammulated owl is learning to be around humans so it can be an ambassador for bird safety. It can't fly anymore due to injuries probably from a car. Rehabbed by A Wing & A Prayer.

We have a special visitor at work today. Meet Ollie, a Flammulated owl who can no longer fly, probably because they were hit by a car. Ollie now lives at On A Wing & a Prayer in New Mexico & is learning to be around groups of humans so they can be an ambassador for bird safety.
A little flammulated owl peers out from its perch in a travel box. The owl can't fly anymore after being (probably) hit by a car. It's learning to be around groups of humans so it can be an ambassador for owl safety. The perch is white, the box raw wood. The floor is brick red and there is a partially obscured clear glass bowl with live meal worms in it.

No Trillionaires
No Musk
No Trump

11/15/25
Central New Mexico.

Small but mighty, this weekly protest has had the most outreach of any protest in New Mexico and provided a focal point for resistence in Sandoval County.

@teslatakedown.com
People protest at the No Trillionaires event at the Tesla showroom of central New Mexico near Albuquerque. The sky is blue. The people stand on a median of a very large T-intersection. There are American flags and a large banner that reads 86 47. People have protested here every Saturday since Feb. 22, 2025. It is the focal point of public resistence in Sandoval Co. and has had the largest outreach of any protest in New Mexico.

A photo of the Virgin of Guadelupe at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, Santa Fe NM. Underneathnis a sign which reads Here, one by one, the names and ages of 68,225 Palestinians murdered in Gaza since Oct. 1, 2023 are read out loud, day and night. The names of 831 Israelis and others who died on Oct. 7, 2023 are also read. We grieve together for all lives lost. We say their names SO AS NOT TO FORGET. This sacred action was started bt people in the Netherlands and has been done all over the world. Peace Salam Shalom

Good Morning MJ et al. I had a short visit to Las Vegas NM to see old pals. Nice town! PT today + covid vax so I don't take an uninvited guest to my mom's 100th birthday in October. Looking forward to NM Jazz Fest shows at the Outpost tonight & tomorrow. Then heading N to see a sister & mt time.
Goofy floofy cat to soothe our souls and help us breathe. Brown tabby curled on his back. One front paw folded on his chest, the other stretched above his head showing his black undersocks. His belly is fluffy and inviting. You want to pet it, and he wants you to as well. This belly wants rubs!

Howdy MJ et al! Too hot! I was hoping to get up to Red River to hang w my sister in the mt cool, my last chance until August. It's a hard choice between desire & duty (keeping me home). But I can't find a cat sitter, so I guess duty wins.
My new cabinets are fabulous!

Goathead seed pods look like their name, but once they puncture your feet, shoes and bike tires you will think they look like nasty little devils.
(not my photo)
A stock photo of goatheads, or puncturevine seeds. This invasive species is hard to live with and hard to kill. They puncture feet, shoes, bike tirres and hurt like hell. I dislike few plants, but these are nasty little devils. Pull them up before they seed. Murder them before they get you.

Good morning MJ et al. I am such a winter queen, I melt in heat. Hoping the human lizards come out to protest because I'm aestivating. So grateful for the mini-splits that have replaced my swamp cooler. Cabinet work has started 🤞but they need to be assembled & there are no instructions.

Hi MJ et al. I was up in Pagosa Springs for a meet-up of people from a Discord chat who watch bears in Katmai NPark. It was fun! We were all good company 😄. Then near Red River to help my sister open the family cabin for the summer. Pulled home by free tix to fab show at the KiMO. Cats relieved.

This goofy forest foundling has very hairy feet and short legs. You can call him Leafasaurus Hairybreeks Took, Leaf, Leafster, or Leaper. His parkour game is good.

I caught up on the cat names post and am now evaluating how I communicate with my 2 boys to avoid confusion and unhappiness. Leaf has been with me and Bogie for 4 months. We're still learning how to share my bed.
