Okay, I know it's been a while.. only gets better... I've found a resturant that has a sign at the entrance near the cash register, Well it's a resturant/bar.. so they serve hard liquor.. so it states... " Minors are not allowed with non-minor spouses" .. now it made me wonder what scenerios would make them have to make that sign.. secondly, I started to wonder just how many couples consist of older folks marrying minors in Taos... hummm.....
I want you to know that I finally figured out exactly why I feel a new level of comfort here.. As most of you know, both in my personal and business life that I have usually been pretty much the craziest person in the room.. and most of you leave me alone because I'm harmless and I'm good at the things I do so you leave me alone.. well, out here.. I am not even on the RADAR for crazy.. these people have multiple black belts in crazy... I mean where else do you dress your children like they just popped out of the Wizard of OZ.. they look like the Lollipop Guild kids.. or Pinocchio.. There was a interesting female bicyclist going down the road in the common multilayer clothing and then she added a nice white chiffon skirt over it all... which made her look like the girl child of that mean woman in the Wizard of OZ riding her bike in the Tornado..
And to think there is a guy that lets his son dress like a pretty little Fairey (complete with wand).. now that would be cute except the kid is about 10 years old.. not 5.. (and the dad gets testy when you ask "her" name....)
For entertainment in the winter months I found myself going downtown and getting a cup of coffee and going out to the center of town and just watching them fill the potholes.. now don't get me wrong, these guys are working hard and I respect that.. the issue is there has evidently never been an engineer in town that knows how to fill a pothole.. first.. there is no cleaning of the hole (makes it easy to pop the filling back out). and then then don't make sure it's dry.. and they fill the hole without prepwork at all.. then a guy with this industrial sized blowtorch (looks like a WWII weapon.. probably surplus)... and he melts the asphalt then they let is cool off.. they go to then next pot hole and the first 18 wheeler that drives over the repair pops it out like a testtube cork.. then the traffic has to go around this asphalt topping.. AND THEN.. they put the asphalt topper back in the hole (still no cleaning).. and melt the top again.... Who needs TV when you have this early morning show going on all winter.. And in the dry months.. the street cleaner guy is a hoot..... goes up and down the same few roads with a cloud of dust behind him that looks like it came directly from a Peanuts cartoon... Leaving as much dust on things as he was supposed to vacuum up...
Now this has nothing to do with Taos but I saw a commercial for my favorite sleep aid Ambien and did you know that one of the side affects for it is "possible drowsiness"? just seemed funny to me..
And then there is the 3 bobs.. Bob the basket maker, Bob the Lawyer and Bob the car collector. hard to even find where to start..
