PNM Response (September 2008)

[PNM person] I had a few free moments this morning and reviewed your analysis.  Nothing in your analysis reflects reality.  Almost everything in it is wrong.  When we met at the Flying Star I told you how Rule 570 and 571 worked.  I explained how net metering works under both Rules.  I explained our REC purchase program.  I told you that your analysis at that time was wrong.  Your latest analysis demonstrates that you did not hear a thing I said.  My only conclusion is that you must think I am lying to you.  I really want to help you understand all this but you seem unwilling to absorb or believe anything I say.  Please don't send me papers and analyses based on your interpretations, as they are wrong.  If you want to prepare an analysis based on what I told you a week ago I will be glad to look at that.

Here is a summary of what I told you last week.  These are the facts:

The net metering benefit to a residential customer who displaces their load with PV generated power is approximately 9 cents per kWh.

In addition, we pay 13 cents per REC for all kWhs generated by the PV system.

Add the two together and you get about 22 cents per kWh of total benefit.

Excess kWh generated and not consumed by load are credited and rolled over to be applied to the next billing month.

The crediting and rollover continues until the customer closes their account.

At that time, if there are excess kWhs, we buy them at our Rate 12 avoided cost, whatever that price is in the month that the account is closed.

For the economics to be optimized, a PV system should be sized no larger than the customers load.

That is it in a nutshell.  No more complicated than that.  Any attempt on your part to portray the above facts any other way is wrong.

everything is a lie.

graduation rate up 10% (no exit exam)

(January 25, 2013)
Lawmakers React to Graduation Rate News

"Some New Mexico lawmakers say they are “thrilled” with news that the state’s four-year high school graduation [rate] increased more than ten percent last year."

"Longtime House Education Committee member Rep. Mimi Stewart, D-Albuquerque, told NMiF
Friday that the results are the culmination of a decade’s worth of work."

NM grad rate jumps after students get break from exam

"The New Mexico high school class lauded last week for increased graduation rates was not required to take a high stakes exit exam."

"The Albuquerque Journal reports that a bill passed and signed in spring 2011 gave students a one-year reprieve from a difficult exit test."

http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S2912699.shtml?cat=500
----------------------
Everything is a lie. Not even Rep. Mimi Stewart spoiled the secret about there being no exit exam this year.
Nobody said a word ... they all kept the secret ... all the media, all the politicians, and the governor too.

winter weather roller-coaster

a couple weeks ago it was -8F and everything froze ... then just this past wednesday it was 66F and i was wearing a short-sleeve t-shirt ... the rancher's brother says that this is the strangest winter weather he has ever seen here ...

the average annual rainfall in this state is 11 inches ... last year we got about half that ... at the ranch, probably half of that ... today there was a 100% chance of rain ... and it did rain ... it spit ... i didn't put the gauge out ... but i assure you it was nothing ...

the rancher's brother is worried that another cold spell is coming and that everything will freeze again ... he said that without snow, there is no insulation ... and the cold really penetrates the ground ... that last cold spell froze the ground 24 inches down ...

i heard that just down the road they were using chainsaws to cut holes in frozen drinking troughs ... then placing barrels in the holes and burning fires to thaw everything out.

i fear that the rancher's brother is probably right ... it is after all only january.

Pete Domenici (the collapse)

The following quote is from Pete Domenici at 3 minutes 22 seconds into the March 6, 2011 episode of Eye on New Mexico. Nicole Brady then asks Domenici why we never hear this side of the story; to which Domenici replies: you tell me.

http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S2005349.shtml?cat=10106
Eye on New Mexico - March 6, 2011
(23:56-20:36)

Pete Domenici: The two of us worked for eight or nine months and produced what we of thought was a method of getting to where we ought to be as a people if we want to avoid what we think could be a tsunami, economic tsunami, a crash, going off the mountain; and that our economy, our dollar, could be in trouble. We could just turn into a second rate power. Now all of that, let's just put it in here for the people to know, all of that could happen because our deficits have accumulated too big a debt. The deficits are annual, debt is the sum of all those annuals. And it's approaching, it is over 14 trillion. And going up at more than one trillion a year. which means we aren't doing very well at controlling our expenditures. And expenditures are one thing but how far the expenditures exceed the tax take, that's the sum of the income tax, that difference is an annual deficit. And so we suggested, one, first we said: Is this a big problem? You bet. Everybody agreed it was mammoth. It was the kind of thing like a WAR. Number two. How would you put it together? You put everything on the table. Everything. Social Security. Medicare. Medicaid. Nobody escapes being looked at. Why? Not because we want to hurt anybody; not because we want people to march in the street, and say we violated our contract; but its because if we don't, something bad will happen to this great country. It's like losing a war to Hitler. And they say in advance: what would it be if you lost a war to Hitler? Well I don't know. We didn't.  We never lost one. But you want to try? To most of them they say: No. But looks like they want to try on this one. If we told you the debt will reach a point where they won't buy our notes...you understand, this debt is nothing more than, we gotta raise thirty billion dollars so we put out IOU’s, we announce today, and a hole bunch of people go there and bid, countries bid, and in the last 15 years we’ve been selling most of it overseas, and more than that, we've been selling most of it to a foreign country called China. Who now owns enough of those to be a 900 billion dollar creditor. That means they are owed 900 billion dollars ...American greenbacks that have to be paid so that they can mark the note: “paid in full”. And they are asking: What is with this America? We've been buying these notes because we thought it was the safest place in the world to put money. And here we hear the news is they might go broke. The Chinese are saying: What is with them? And we hear that some Chinese leaders are telling some of our leaders "we’ve come to the conclusion that your leadership does not want to solve this problem.”(20:36)

jailhouse talk

one of my fellow swift crew members (wildlands firefighting) last summer was an ex-con ... and he told me a few interesting facts about the joint ...

first, a name brand cigarette is called a "tailor" (tailor made) and costs $2 per cigarette ... i forget what they called a rolly ... maybe a rolly? ... those are $1 per cigarette ...

second, you can gather tobacco while on a litter crew detail ... just twist out the tobacco from the butts you pick up ... my buddy told me he put his in an orange peel ... oh, right! ... because you had to smuggle it back into the joint! ... wow ... how do you get it "up in" while on the work detail? ... no being shy about it! ...

he also said that a very, very thin pinner was $5 ... (all "butt weed") ...

(i think the working wage in jail is 25 cents per hour ... something like that.)

blowing in the wind (written notes)

... wow ... crazy ... i just went to put crunchies in papa cat's food bowl ... and pressed against the nearby yard fence by a steady wind was a ragged photocopy of a hand written note, originally on notebook paper ... and this is what it says:

they can sexually molest little children, supermodels and elderly grandmothers.

The next logical step in the downward spiral of oppression is to arm these agents and use them to slap down TOTAL police state tyranny in America. At the first opportunity - probably after a gov't staged false flag attack involving a dirty bomb or a bioweapons release - these TSA goons will be set up on every major road and highway, using their new bullet proof roadway checkpoints and their .40 caliber hollow point ammo to put America into a complete Martial Law clamp down where everybody is considered a possible terrorist, and secret arrests (torture, interrogations, beatings, etc.) are commonplace.

Such a plan might be deliberately designed to start a shooting war with the American people, so at that point TSA agents can be unleashed to Kill and rape anyone they want under the banner of "protecting the homeland." The name Homeland Security" is intentionally borrowed straight out of Nazi Germany and its term "Heimatland."
-------------------------------------
i totally agree ... (and in this county every household is supposed to have a firearm ... by law) ... but i have never found blowing notes in this yard before ... never seen any garbage blowing in the wind at all ...

recently a number of strange events have occurred at neighboring ranches ... an unknown vehicle drove through an inch thick cable which had been strung up for the cows to rub against ... a pipe, 12 feet off the ground, was broken ... a float was twisted off of a water tank ... losing the whole tank of water ... and now there is a low flying aircraft that i am hearing ... it just flew overhead 30 minutes ago ...

i wonder if they are dropping notes? hahahah

cat names

by now we all know mama cat ... she is a thin, long haired calico ... she has four kittens that she is raising in the freezer room ... (that i watch from the kitchen window) ...

the kittens sleep on a thick foam cushion ... they make a cat pile, in a cat bed and a big scrunched up blanket ... and mama cat now has her own space ... she found an open box in the shop that is about 5 ft off the ground and next to an east facing window ... probably pretty warm up there ... any way, that's now mama cats condo ...

i decided it was time to name the cats so that i could recount their future adventures ... so they are:

fur face - long haired brindle, black nose, white whiskers
camo - short haired brindle, black nose, white whiskers
the dark one - short haired black, black nose, white whiskers
milky - short haired black and white, pink nose, white whiskers

fur face loves to walk the window ledge and watch me in the kitchen ... she is always the first up in the window ... camo is usually just to her right (facing me) on the meat display case ... he just sits quietly watching fur face on the ledge and me in the window ... the dark one is usually the next over ... he sits in the yellow clothes basket watching attentively ... mama cat is usually in her condo ... and milky is down on the floor where the plate of food is about to be placed ... hahahah ... recently i've been giving them a cold chopped up hot dog, when they ask for something ... otherwise they've got crunchies to eat.

papa cat lives out in the small barn ... he's an orange tabby.

never submit to a liar (trust yourself)

so the three of us were standing there talking ... the landlord, the tenant, and me ... and the landlord tells the tenant that he and i will go back to the house and turn the electric heater on (for thawing the pipes under the house) before we leave for the day ... and i know that the heater is already on, but the landlord is winking at me, and the tenant is worried about the electric bill, so i keep quiet ...

later in the evening the landlord calls me and says ... why didn't you remind me to go back and turn the heater on? ... and i say, because it was on the whole time and is still on ... i just didn't say anything in front of the tenant because you were winking at me ... and he says, oh, no, no ... i turned that off when you were down in the hole ... which ended the conversation because i had no way to verify or refute that claim ...

the next day, i arrived at the job site first ... and just as i thought, the heater is where it was supposed to be, still running.
--------------------------
when i first met the landlord, his wife said something strange to me, and a room full of people, which caught my attention ... she said, "[me] is trying to figure out which one of us he can trust" ...

and now after watching them all closely for some time ... my answer is "none of them," final answer.
--------------------------
a liar tries to get you to ignore what your eyes and ears tell you and to submit and believe whatever they say, whenever they change it ... it's a bully tactic ... politicians and the news media do it too.
--------------------------
i met a person a few months back who claimed to be a writer ... he told me that his new philosophy was to believe that whatever he said was true, was true ... and then he would feed you an endless line of lies until you either totally rejected him, risking a physical fight ... or totally submitted ... and gave into darkness and slavery and guilt and death and decay ... while he told you about his latest short story of vampires and human feces and endless crap ... just endless ...

i told him that he was the opposite of me and that i was feeling physically ill just listening to him.

i then excused myself from the party and left.
--------------------------
never submit to a liar.

trust yourself.

crazy car drama

a few weeks ago the starter in my [vehicle] went out ... it was another miracle ... i happened to be at the right place, at the right time, with the right people, to solve the problem ...

... with the help of the rancher, his brother, and another relation ... i had a new starter in my vehicle within 24 hours with the lowest possible expense ... and it was a beast of a job ...

today, was the day for drama ... hahhahh ...

earlier i was returning from [a nearby town] and i was driving along with cruise control on ... when i came upon a hill,  and didn't tap the brake soon enough to disengage the cruise control ... then, suddenly, the car downshifted to second gear, popping the rpms up to 4000 and climbing fast ... i hit the brake, and nothing happened  ... i couldn't get the cruise control to disengage and the engine kept reving faster and faster ... even when i stood on the brake ... the engine kept wanting to accelerate ... at top speed ... like the pedal was down to the floor ... and then i thought ... i'd put the car into neutral ... so i did ... and the engine really began reving ... so i quickly put it back into drive ... still standing on the brake ... and pulled over with the engine still trying to accelerate ... and turned off the car.

now i was really concerned ... here i am 50+ miles away from the ranch ... with car trouble ... and i am thinking ... oh, great ... if this car dies ... now my expenses are really going to increase ...

i called the rancher's brother and he came to the rescue ... he found the problem right off too ...

while we were changing out the starter ... a vacuum hose, which was brittle from age, broke, and [the relation] used a hose from his propane tank to splice the broke hose together ...

well, it turns out that the splice (which is larger than the original hose) was large enough in diameter to snag the accelerator cable when the engine downshifted ... and then the cable couldn't retract ... so even though i was braking, the accelerator was stuck wide open ...

once the hose was re-routed, the problem was solved ... and even cruise control works again.

crazy.

car drama.

liqueur coffee (the next hot thing)

a year ago or so, i heard regis philbin say that he couldn't survive retirement without kahlua ... and a couple of months ago i heard al roker say that a real friend would have put a shot (of rum) in his coffee ... (see a proper host) ...

old-timer's phrase (hard worker)

... "a farting horse will never tire ... a farting man is the man to hire." [from an old-timer's long gone dad]

jerky for a phone card

i use a "throw and go" phone from walmart ... i buy the $30 one month card, pay cash ... my service ends tomorrow and i don't have time to drive for two hours to get another card ... or want to spend the $13 of gas ...

i tried purchasing a one month card from the service provider over the phone ... but they wanted to open an account with me ... asked me for my father's middle name ... said it was for security purposes ... i told them i didn't want them to know my father's middle name or to record that kind of information on me ... i hung up ...

so i emailed [my brother] ... i offered to send him jerky within a week or so if he'd pick me up a card today from his local walmart ... just down the road from him ... in a city ... he could call or email me the pin ... i will mail him the jerky.

i bet he does. [he did].

prepaid phone cards ... the next illegal trade? ... or soon a thing of the past?

distance for help (flat tire)

in a lot of ways, living in the country is the exact opposite of city living ... in the city you just call somebody whenever you have a problem ... in the country you often do the repairs yourself ...

remember this ... in the country:
(great) distance for help
(sometimes no) phone service
(you need) tools

i got a flat tire yesterday ... it was saturday evening and the tire shop was closed ... that didn't even enter [the rancher's] mind ... he showed me how to patch a flat tire ... he did it, i watched, i think i could do it next time ...

first ... you want to mark the location of the valve stem and weights with chalk or a crayon ... so that the tire goes on the way it came off, and then you don't have to rebalance it ...

next, use soapy water to find the puncture hole ... pull the tire from the rim (you do need the right tools) ... remove the nail/debris ... use drill with wire brush to clean inside of tire ... put glue down over and around the hole ... blow on it a little ... peel seal from patch and place on glue over hole ... smooth with tool ... reassemble everything ... done.

... fortunately i was at [the rancher's] residence when i got the flat ... no distance this time ... anywhere else, and it gets more complicated.

mandatory drug testing (mandatory recycling)

- what if the d.m.v. required mandatory drug testing for all drivers? ...
would that rile you up? ...
- what if all parents of all students were required to take mandatory drug tests? ...
would that rile you up? ...
- what if your mandatory health insurance required a mandatory drug test at least once per year? ...
would that rile you up? ...
- what about mandatory drug testing for all gun owners?
would that rile you up?

why not just assign everybody a parole officer? ... would that rile you up?

in south florida they are about to implement mandatory recycling ... with fines up to $2000 per offense ... if an "authorized" individual (ppp) wanted to make a mandatory random inspection of your home garbage, with the possibility of a $2000 fine in the air ... would that rile you up?

it's bigger than just you being innocent or guilty of violating one particular law ...

a slice of pie

the [friend] who has been helping me out so much ... his wife works at the only cafe in the nearby town ... she gave me the hook up on pies ... and i was able to get six slices (an entire pie) for a great deal ...

i like that scene from the john travolta movie "michael" when they go to the pie cafe and order two slices of everything ... hahahhah ...

i noticed that the whole family was chatting happily about these pies when i brought it up earlier ... and after i finished my first slice of chocolate cream, i knew that if i ate the other five slices, that i would be moving out of my jeans within a week ...

so i called up the friend and delivered to him four of the slices ... a chocolate cream, 2 banana cream, and one peanut butter ... they really were good ... and i just know that everybody loved them as much as i did ... with a family of five ... i doubt they ever pay $20 on one night's dessert ...

now when his wife comes home from work ... after probably thinking about me and the six slices all day long ... she is going have an incredible shock because i bet there will be one of those slices there for her.

oklahoma credit card (water)

yesterday the old chevy that i use to haul water would not start ... i called the rancher's brother and told him ... and he just so happened to be breaking ice at one of his wells down the road ... so he came by ...

turns out that the starter is out ... (heard that before) ... so we used his truck to pull start the chevy which was towing the water hauling trailer ... just hooked up a chain ... turned the ignition to on ... put it in second ... kept the chain tight ... 10 mph and a hundred feet, if that ... dropped the clutch ... then braked both vehicles ... as easy as that.

the trick then was to complete four water hauling trips before the truck ran out of fuel ... because i would then need another pull start ... (i had the fuel) ... the brother stuck around until i was done, just in case ...

well, i got the water loaded in both the main tank and the cow trough ... but there is no water yet flowing from the main tank to either the house or the trough ... i am hoping that this nice weather thaws everything out ...

there were four days in a row below zero last week ... last sunday, was -8F ... the neighbors say colder ... and everything froze ... i didn't know it at the time because the water was low in the main tank ... and when that happens, the gravity pressure is not enough to push the water to the house ... (the pressure tank went out before the well went dry) ... so i couldn't drip any faucets ... and the water level in the cow trough dropped below the filling pipe in the water, so it froze too ... (i know this because no water is coming out) ...

i was just given a pointer ... since, we don't want the water level in the cow trough to fall below the filling pipe again ... (and thus freeze again) ... the brother suggested that i siphon the water from the main tank into the cow trough ...

the oklahoma credit card!
--------------------------------------
oklahoma credit card
http://adventuresofagreenhorn.blogspot.com/2013/01/oklahoma-credit-card.html
--------------------------------------
so i used a garden hose and dropped one end through the ice in the main tank and then ran the hose to the cow trough ... a couple of sucks (like on a pipe) ... and i could hear and feel the water coming through the hose towards the cow trough ... the top of the main tank is probably 8 feet high, the hose was probably 3 feet down into the main tank ... and the the cow trough is twenty feet away, at ground level, with about a two foot high lip ...

ta-da!

we still need everything to thaw out ... and i don't know how to prevent this from happening again ... because i can't haul water when it is below freezing, or else i risk breaking the pump and plastic fittings on the hauling tank ... but if the main house tank gets low, then i can't drip faucets ... and everything freezes ...

catch 22.

fed stress (no joy of progress)

news should be more like investing ... specifically, technical analysis ... plotting charts and drawing trend lines ... moving averages ... momentum indicators ... looking at the long-term charts and short-term patterns ... matching turning points to vote dates, etc ...

instead we are fed stress.

car accidents, dwis, homicides, frozen pipes, political corruption, dog attacks ...

no gain is ever made ... no joy of progress ...

it's not supposed to be that way.

no reason given ... they just don't like what you are saying.

horseshoe sunrise

i just noticed that when i walk around the ranch house and look at the horizon line, at no point is it a straight line ... there is a continuous mountain range to ridge line wave crest that surrounds me here ... almost like being at the bottom of a large crater and looking up ... but no such thing actually exists ...

... i'm noticing an amazing thing in the morning ... as the night sky lightens and turns from black to blue, and the orange light of the sun begins to rise in the east ... the orange light actually crawls around the horizon ridge line on both sides of me like a horseshoe ... at least 270 degrees ... it's a panoramic sunrise ... like being on the nearside of the moon during an eclipse, with the sun rising behind you ... horseshoe sunrise.

you have the masses down there ... 99 ... then above, a horizontal level (/), or ceiling, comprised of the universities and education system ... the media ... the politicians ... the clergy (?) ... and who knows what (business) ... telling the masses whatever they want to tell them .... then above that ... what, the rich and powerful? ... 1? ... 1/99 ... something like that? ... or 1/999 or 1/9999 ...

"We have been averaging eight business startups a year, but our goal is to increase it by four and then double it to 16 a year. We see this as an economic driver and will partner with the city and state and venture capitalists to get there," Frank said.

“Public-Private Partnerships – when private industry provides public services for profit.
The original taxes for the services remain in place, but a duplicative “service for FEE”
structure is added. It is FASCISM, and it should NOT be considered as a solution to the
State’s budget woes. It promotes monopolies and destroys small business. If the stakeholder

a factor of 9 in savings

i got this turkey pastrami loaf for 3 bucks, down from at least 6 ... shredded sharp cheddar cheese on sale 6 bucks, down from 12 ... super fancy ginger italian dressing 1 dollar down from 3 ... and wheat bread 1 buck a loaf ... (and a little bit of butter and electricity.)

i know i have it down to 1 dollar per - "grilled pastrami cheddar melt, with ginger italian dressing on wheat" ... hahahhah ...

total cost, 11 for 11 ... or 13 for 13 ... so, a buck.

it's a nine dollar sandwich anywhere else.

(from what i have observed), the rules are:

if you buy trendy, or go out, you pay 3 times normal ...
if you buy normal, or stay in, you pay normal ...
if you buy discounts (1/2 to 1/3), and stay in (1/3), you pay 1/2 to 1/9 normal.

it's a factor of 9 in savings.

3Ps are bad, but 6Ps are good

getting colder ... i am ready ... last night was -2F and tonight should be colder ...

wow ... i cannot believe how lucky i am to have the -35F sleeping bag ... the snow bib and coat and boots ... the insulated gloves ... the cord of wood ... wow...

i broke the ice twice today ... sunrise and sunset ...

i am so much warmer than i otherwise would be ...

3Ps are bad (public-private partnerships), but 6Ps are good ...

prior planning prevents piss poor performance.

bioscience center (and 33 other SBDCs)

Yep. The BioScience Center is an SBDC.
http://www.thebiosciencecenter.com/events/open-house-2/#comment-6
What is an SBDC (small business development center)?

Approximately 900 Small Business Development Center sites are funded through a combination of state and SBA [federal] support in the form of matching grants. Typically, SBDCs are co-located at community colleges, state universities, and/or other entrepreneurial hubs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_Business_Administration#Small_Business_Development_Centers

An SBDC is a company that gets "matching grants" from the state ... they are a state-supported institution ... they are a public-private partnership ... it is fascism ... the state supports the incubator, which then picks other "winner" businesses to support, which then receive preferential treatment from the state (financing, taxation, marketing, etc..) ... “Put New Mexico First” opportunities ... and it goes on and on and on ...

it is the end of a level playing field ... either you are state-supported or you are not.

The measure (House Bill 337), announced Monday by Democratic leaders, would mean $123 million for construction-ready projects around New Mexico.

"When the Democratic leadership first unveiled its emergency capital outlay bill — known as the Work New Mexico Act — it included some $100 million in spending. But Republicans on the House Taxation and Revenue Committee, which Trujillo co-chairs, complained they weren’t consulted and asked why some things were included, others left out. When Trujillo told them all the projects were vetted, ready to go and that, by the way, he had the votes to pass the measure without them, one lawmaker called him a bully."

Governor urges lawmakers to pass bill exempting liability for space parts firms
mar 5, 2013

ALBUQUERQUE — Negotiations to lock space tourism company Virgin Galactic into a long-term lease at the spaceport New Mexico taxpayers built for it are on hold while a proposal to broaden liability exemptions for space companies lingers in the Legislature, Gov. Susana Martinez said Tuesday.

[Virgin Galactic President and CEO George Whitesides] hinted last year that the company could leave New Mexico if lawmakers failed for a second year to pass a bill that would extend legal liability exemptions to space parts suppliers. He and the governor have both said the legislation, which would protect companies from lawsuits by passengers on spaceflights, is necessary for New Mexico to compete with states like Texas, Florida and Colorado, which already have the exemption on the books and are developing their own spaceports.

Window is closing on state-run health exchange
mar 3, 2013

“This is not a free market,” Evans said. The federal health care law requires people to have health insurance — they don’t have a choice, she said. “I think it is ridiculous when they talk about a free market like people are going to McDonald’s.”

Navigators’ pay, at least in the first year of the exchange’s operation, is also a concern. Currently, federal funds can pay to train navigators but can’t be used to fund their salaries. The exchanges are expected to generate revenue to pay the navigators, but until the exchange gets started, those funds aren’t available, state officials say.

Organizations such as New Mexico Voices for Children want state policymakers to appropriate $2 million in the proposed state budget to pay navigators’ salaries. But so far, the Martinez administration has resisted that idea.

the bioscience center, a priori

jon barela and susana martinez are pushing public-private partnerships under the new century economy agenda ... to be introduced during this legislative session beginning january 15, 2013 ...
this is all FASCISM.

the new century economy agenda is based on 20 recommendations from the new century economy summit (October 2, 2012) ...

Recommendation 12 from the New Century Economy Summit is  to establish a Bioscience Center ...

... and yet 2 MONTHS BEFORE the summit on AUGUST 13, 2012 Steve Ginsberg of Albuquerque Business First writes this article (still the ONLY article about the bioscience center):

BioScience Center incubator coming to Uptown
http://www.bizjournals.com/albuquerque/news/2012/08/13/bioscience-center-incubator-coming-to.html?page=all

"Dr. Stuart Rose has acquired a 20,000-square-foot building in Uptown that he will convert into a biotech incubator called The BioScience Center."

"He has named Lisa Adkins director of the center. She also serves as chairwoman of the New Mexico Technology Council."

“We look forward to community outreach efforts and creating an environment for technology businesses in New Mexico to drive innovation, grow and succeed,” Adkins said. (REC 8 (ppp): Create a business culture of innovation and growth)

Stuart Rose's position is not specified ... but i am wondering if he IS recommendation 16... (REC 16 (ppp): Create technology transfer position.)

... and now 5 DAYS BEFORE the request is even made during the legislative session beginning january 15, the facility opens TODAY.

there i was, calling to the cow ... com'on mama ... come here ... you can do it mama ... com'on ... com'on mama ... there you go ... com'on ... and when i thought she might turn back, i would rub the space between her shoulders (where cows are always trying to lick) ...

... and sure enough ... one hobbled step at a time we made it past the other cows to the drinking tank and then into the corral ... where i gave her alfalfa hay ... and now none of the other cows are going anywhere ... they want their hay too!

i was surprised ... it worked!

the bull just gave me a guilt-trip look ... he didn't say anything.

"It's like losing a war to Hitler. And they say in advance: what would it be if you lost a war to Hitler? Well I don't know. We didn't.  We never lost one. But you want to try? To most of them they say: No. But looks like they want to try on this one." (Pete Domenici)

forever fixing plumbing, not

my suspicions about these people are building again ... i now suspect that he is stalling because he doesn't want to start the job ... he doesn't want me to help him ... he wants me to do the job alone and thus take RESPONSIBILITY for the job ... and be hooked forever fixing the plumbing in this mobile home ...

the plumbing in this trailer may freeze every year from what i have seen ... and this would be my first ever plumbing job ... yeah, wise choice ...

here i am trying to do the extraordinary (to help them during their emergency) ... and they are trying to hook me into the perpetual.

evil i tell'ya.

i'll be watching closely ... if this is true, i am out of there.

old hippie adage

"weed will get you through times with no money better than ...
 money will get you through times with no weed."

... i am trying to squeeze [a friend's] emergency into my busy schedule ... tomorrow i absolutely need to go cut firewood ... and [my friend] has frozen plumbing under his mobile home rental ... with an anxious tenant ...

i suggested to him that if he could supply me with a truck bed load of firewood (4x8x4 = 1 cord), then i could work the entire day for him on his plumbing emergency ... instead of cutting wood myself.

he told me that one cord of wood cost 3 times the daily rate he is paying me ... and yet, even i could surely cut that much wood in one day ... ( two cords is common) ...

obviously that means i need to go cut my own firewood.

and then it hits him ... his emergency is less important than cutting firewood.

did the world just turn upside down?

"firewood will get you through times with no money better than
money will get you through times with no firewood."

one cord wood = 3 X one days labor.

... for which other commodities does this old hippie adage hold true?

bacon calls cats too

i got into buying the bigger packages of bacon ends and pieces ... some of the pieces are nothing but fat and i give those pieces to the cats ... well, now, all i have to do is say "bacon" ... like the dog in those beggin strips commercials ... and the cats are up in the kitchen window anxious with anticipation ... watching my every move ... noses in the air, licking their lips, and stretching ... even mama cat was up there this morning ...

later at dusk, mama cat was sitting on a chair on the front porch watching the four kittens play tag in the front yard ... i looked out the front door window ... and she saw me there in the dark ... but i stayed still and she just turned back towards the kids playing.

last night it got down to -3F ... papa cat seems to be doing fine out there in the small barn in the corral ... i put food out for him everyday ... and i see him run when the front screen door slams shut.

a couple of days ago i saw a very cute thing happen ... papa cat's bowl is now on the far side of this big tree to protect it and him from the wind ... well, i saw the black kitten on the near side of the tree trying to peak around the tree at papa cat while he was eating ... hahahha ... you know, papa cat is still a stranger to all the kittens and this black one is curious about the older guy.

(i tried putting some bacon out for papa cat the other day too ... you know, mama cat chased him off and ate his bacon ... that wasn't cool... she ate papa cat's bacon.)
