Hotel California

Well, here I am at Hotel California, aka Sutter Medical Center. Apparently I had a heart attack on Monday, my lasti day in Albuquerque. Stuck at Sutter, probably for several days. You can check out anytime you’d like, but you can never leave.

Cowboy Action Shooting

This is Albuquerque's real-life shooting range out here on the West Mesa, so I find this place confusing. Is this for paintball or for real-life shooting with live ammunition?

Celebration of Life - Michael Manley - Sacramento Yacht Club - Feb. 1, 2018

"A Shot in the Dark" - Theatre in the Heights

Saturday Night at The Box

Albuquerque Improv Comedy.

11th Annual Southwest Burlesque Showcase

Saw the Friday night show at the KiMo Theater. I liked the fan dance, a la Sally rand (was that Lolita Haze?) and the weird Willy Wonka/Oompa-Loompa routine with Friday night headliners, Tifa Tittlywinks and Emma D'Lemma.

Hotel Chaco

Weird. A high-end hotel based on Chaco Canyon designs.

Albuquerque Murals III


Interesting Albuquerque Signs XIII

Upgrading "Breaking Bad," "Better Call Saul," and "Albuquerque Glass Block" Posts

This will take several days.

As we approached Los Lunas, we started doing a very strange thing. Instead of proceeding on to Albuquerque, we headed south. I wondered if we were heading to Socorro instead. Then we did a big loop in the desert area west of Belen, before proceeding to Albuquerque.
