Science Finds Crime Committed By Trees

If you, or someone you love, fits the profile of a person described in this picture, there is help for you, and/or your loved one. Please, don't hesitate to get the help you, or your loved one(s), may not know you have need of, until this seen here, today. Call now, there's a kind, somewhat understanding counselor, who's not yet fully trained, but wants to get paid, and so, is ready and willing, if not yet able, to help you deal with your newly discovered tumult of emotion that may affect you after reading this and becoming informed of trauma that's been hiding behind your hay fever. Because, until recently, hay fever has only been viewed as physically problematic, and those suffering from it, not knowing it was irrefutable evidence of a traumatic event happening to make them victims, were recommended to seek help from their regular family physicians. And this recommendation was given only if they found over-the-counter medications insufficient alleviating hay fever...

Canine Criminal Minds

Out in the boonies of NM yesterday, our dogs returned from their trot in the wilds, with heads hanging low and tails tucked, as if they'd made a mess getting into the trash. At first, they looked to be caked in mud, and I thought they must have found a watering hole to play in til dark. But under the cabin's porch light, it was instantly clear that the crime they'd committed was a much worse offense than skinny dippin' n comin' home muddy. For it was not mud they were caked in, it was blood. The shaming they thought to get, from the looks of it, was for murder, ew, and ew, ew, again, Ewww, from the looks of it, brutal murder. What ever was killed died a horrible death. Although their guilty demeanors said, "Yes, we did it, we killed the waskily wabbit...without a wifle... and then we played tug-a-war with the liddle wabbit's body.", or proudly, "Why, yes! We erradicated an entire colony of infiltrating prairie dogs. Please, can you thank us lat...

Internet Social Sight Blindness

Everyone should understand that in these times there are people we interact with on our fave social sites, that unlike most people, they are alone. Meaning, if all digital communications just suddenly stopped existing today, these people would be left in a (physical) world of strangers. Do y'all know what the implications of that are? Imagine, if you had no familial relations, no one in your life has known you since childhood, and you haven't anyone in your daily life that you have known from the time they were a kid. No school-hood buddies to swap stories 'bout back-in-the-day, no longterm friends you've known since your first marriage, no one who was around when you fought injustices that stripped away at your savings, no one whose stuck around the last ten yrs, who remembers when wrongful foreclosure took your house during the Housing Crisis, no coworkers that you kicked it with on your day off, or was with you at the company picnic when the ceo announced y'all ...

Happy New Year! From Jail...

A  friend of mine, that don't from here, tu sabes, said during a conversation- "You guys talk about Albuquerque cops being  so  crooked, like, cops anywhere else aren't crooked at all. What you think? The cops in NY City are soo just by the book..." We laughed at ourselves. I think cops a necessary part of society. But, c'mon, Officers, think of your own families while your out there, be more relaxed- listen with your hearts to the society you rolling up on, s'pose to be protecting (your departments should add to that - encouraging), not profiling, use common sense in your judgement, and fear not following your hearts'  inclinations to give leniency to your fellow citizens when you feel it.  I know y'all do feel like doing that way more often than you ever act upon. I see it, yer eyes can't lie... I had a bench warrant for TRAFFIC TICKETS!, got pulled over for a lack of funds, technically termed Expired Tags, and jailed on the morning of N...

A Bad-Ass Moment: Connected to Infinite Wisdom

                     I was enjoying dinner with three other friends at The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant, located in Ruidoso New Mexico. At the end of our meal, as the tradition goes, our waiter brought us a plate with eight fortune cookies and laid it in the center of our table. The Great Wall falls on the fancier side of Chinese restaurants, so these fortune cookies were larger and didn't come wrapped in plastic like most others. I held out the plate for each of my friends to pick their first cookie before picking one for myself. The turns began that we read aloud the fortune found inside our cookie, and I went last. Yes, of course, as the fortunes were read, the words 'in bed' had to be added at the end. Tradition, right? Anyway, like I said, I went last, but when I broke open my fortune cookie, there was no fortune inside it.  "Ha ha ha," teased my friend Frank, "your not lucky." "No luck fo yoo." quipped his gal, Ki...

Enlightenment: A Journey to Discover Self-Therapuetic Remedies

My journey to master the art of self-discovery began around the same time as did the global epi-phenomenom of 'awakening'.  I've been on an awakened path for as long as it takes a person to attain a Ph.D. in college. The blood, sweat, and tears I've paid to gain the understanding I have today has cost more than it would've had I gone back to school for a PhD. (sigh) If only I'd been given the choice. Then again, I don't think I'd trade the enlightenment I've been blessed to receive for what my Grandmother called, an educated idiot.  Oftentimes, the word enlightenment triggers thoughts of an existence with less turmoil, less hardship, and less suffering. However, this is not the transformation that occurs as one becomes 'enlightened'. If anything, these obstacles only become more complex, and it causes a person to resist their new awareness. At its highest level, the person...
