Truth or Consequences (Hatch: sale, theater, camping)

[dracul]

Hi Tia, m'luv! Had to check in at least between workout sets. Put in around 55 sets tonight so far and it's 10:15 p.m. Had to stop the steady decline towards flab! With this wounded mitt it's hard to get proper exercise. I'm in the worst shape in several years I'm afraid. Lost most of my formerly round butt because I'm can't get under a squat barbell...my damn pants fall down my now flat a$$! Bummer.

Anyway, TorC was lovely for such a quiet little hamlet. Th road to Los Cruses (I-25) was great and we made great time with few delays. Luv all the palm trees in LC...but lots of gangsta types I'm afraid and the concomitant growing pains of a typical popular mid-sized city. Actually, we didn't really like what we took in, for the most, in LC. Hatch and the smaller burgs were quite charming along the way back. We enjoyed this trip profoundly, despite burying my dear ole' pal Fazoo the Magnificent!

What a mix....and I love that guy who cruises around with that large stuffed toy over his shoulder! TorC rocks!

No, missed that dude. Had grinds at the Pacific Grill and really was surprised by the excellent Mahi dinner! Nice, warm weather and superb roadways made this sojourn memorable...as is often the case, even in Winter. We buried my Fazoo cat on his very own pyramid, replete with Native American God figurines to bracket him. We bought these figures from the "Trader", an antique/curio/bric-a-brac dealer about a block from the "over the top" Dukatt (who also lightened my wallet and bent my ear). The trader fella, don't know his name, has his digs/business for sale at around 260k I think. What a disturbing and angry fella that guy is! Poorly written neo-con literature strewn everywhere, Fox News blaring away, Hannity, O' Rielly, Ann C. propaganda nearly falling on the customer!!! The guy was so angry at the Obama phenom the rage fairly rolls off him...it's palpable! He didn't move his face four inches from the blathering talking head on Fox the entire time we were in his store.......that dude is dangerous. I hope he is on some sort of anger management therapy. I'm sure you know who I'm describing; I'll be giving him a wide birth in the future. In stark contrast, Celestial Creations was a joy! Beautiful fixtures, goods and attitude. Love that place. Second Hand Rose is fun too. The manager is a former Maui Hana hippie who has left the land of pakalolo and wind surfing for the dry desert and twisted sisters of TorC. Very funny. This attractive and pleasant middle aged lady regaled us with Maui and NM tales and how she once "received money" from Olinda, Makawao and Paia residents....gee, I wonder how and why she was receiving that money

SO MANY interesting and amusing personalities! TorC could be a gold mine for a young psych grad student looking into aberrant behavior patterns for a thesis!!!!!

Great idea 6'3"! I'd start with Northern NM, however. Las Vegas is quite a gem. We stayed a night @ Inn On The Santa F Trail. Great little simple rooms with huge pillows and classic NM furnishings. The place has a "mini plaza" with a fine restaurant serving varied cuisine. Interesting college kids and locals dine there. The town is cold this time of year but very charming and retro. Nice college, the obligatory plaza and lots of interesting old structures/houses. We will return to this fetching little town.

Yeap that'd be great if you started a whole new thread and tell us of all the places you visited and how was your experiences as many read but don't post who are interested in those cities you visited .
