Luckily I've avoided driving much at night for years.  

Those new headlights are tough even in the daylight.  And you can flash your headlights at the high beam users and most of them have no idea what you're doing nowadays.

Are you in an area with many streetlights, or is Albuquerque a city that's trying to "preserve the night sky"?

I don't think we're trying to preserve anything here besides the criminal element.

In that case, it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job of it.  Although I can't talk.  A few weeks ago our little town was headlining the local news with two murders at McDonalds.  Along with two drive-by shootings at a couple of apartment buildings.  Sounds like it might be safer out here in the boonies.

On a lighter note...

Are you getting snow in your area?  Half of our state is supposed to get snow tomorrow, but it's 'iffy' as to where exactly and how much exactly.  It looks like it's coming due east from New Mexico.

Hey, at least we have a goal.

To break last year's homicide record.

According to Accuweather, we should be getting snow any moment.  But they might be referring to the Sandias and areas east of the river.

Just checked the radar map and it looks like there's a big blue blob coming from the west.  We may get some snow, after all.

Well, I think I might be done posting photos of various favorite actresses on the other thread, so maybe it's time to take a shower and pour some wine.

But I did just notice If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium is on cable.

Always been quite fond of Ian McShane.

GEE got a message from st. francis hospital about the upcoming surg on the 30th, it was normal stuff name,rank,serial number type stuff. then I read that was going to be done. if I read it correctly. doctor is going to fuse the entire toe,cut something to align the toe properly, use a filler for ??? something. i hope i read the info correctly and understood what was written. I will be wearing my blue shoe boot for 6 plus weeks/no showers for 3 weeks of foot only so a huge supply of duct tape/the huge 55 gallons garbage bags.

YIKES!

[just bee]

The experts were wrong again.  Where was this supposed white wave in New Mexico?

Some snow on the Sandias but no snow in our area.
