 The Tularosa basin in New Mexico has a rather unusual history. The stories and legends are prolific in the histories of the peoples who have passed through it over the centuries.  There are colorful tales of rich deposits of minerals, cowboy’s, Indian’s, and outlaws.

It will probably help our conversation if we make clear we are not talking about the disagreement you might be thinking of right now. Did we get there on July 30, 1969?

 A little examination of Lady Bugs, Elephants, Dinosaurs, Whales, Redwood Tress, and the Humungous Fungus (Armillaria Ostoyea) in Malheur National Forest.

Link to Eugene Lazowskis writing:  https://dokumen.pub/private-war-memoirs-of-a-doctor-solder-1933-1944.html     One of the big killers in war throughout history and pre-1940’s was not what you might expect.

You cannot avoid i...

For example: The little chick struggling to break free of the egg as it hatches.

 Ever heard of Shawmut, or Pigs Eye Parrat? There are - or were - real places. But, with the march of time, it seems everything is changing. Robots are replacing doctors.

 Have you ever had one of those days when everything goes wrong?   You know, the kind of day when your toast is burnt; and on top of that you are out of butter and somebody finished off the OJ.

What are th...
