   OKCupid apparently threw someone at me as a 92 % match (as in “potential mate” kind of match) who said the following:

   “I probably won’t date someone who owns or has easy access to a gun.”

   I couldn’t swipe left hard enough on that one.

   Lex Luthor had the right sort of idea in the 1978 Superman movie.

   If those in the Legislature who want to shut down New Mexico’s petrochemical industry (despite the cash from it they use for their “free everything for everyone” schemes) because they don’t like carbon dioxide (plants seem to love the stuff, they use it for photosynthesis, and thus they need it to stay alive, but they don’t get to vote (yet)), they can lead by example and quit exhaling the stuff.

   I have plenty of plastic bags for these legislators to put over their heads and pull tight in this endeavour.

   The Bernalillo County meetup is presently held at the Boxing Bear Corrales Taproom [10200 Coors NW (Coors Blvd and Alameda, by Sprouts, Little Anita’s, Il Vicino, etc.)] on the third Tuesday of each month, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

   Here’s what I sent via their crappy web form to both the advertising department and to station management:

   To whom it may concern:

   I was recently notified of KOB’s plans to host a gubernatorial debate between Michelle Lujan Grisham and Mark Ronchetti.

   My question is ths: Why was Karen Bedonie excluded from this debate?

   Is it KOB’s intent to discriminate against Bedonie because she’s Navajo, not Caucasian or Hispanic?

   What do Grisham or Ronchetti offer New Mexicans that Bedonie becomes irrelevant?

   Even if Bedonie only gets 5% of the vote, about 1,000,000 to 1,200,000 people vote in the gubernatorial race. So that’s 60,000 potential viewers who might not bother doing business with KOB’s advertisers.

NOTES FROM LIFE, ETC.

1. Went to the Bernalillo County / Sandoval County Libertarian Party of New Mexico Meetup at the Boxing Bear Brewing Co. Corrales Taproom [10200 Coors NW, ABQ, NM] tonight. Met up with some old friends, met some new people. The asada tacos were OK (but nothing special) – the sopapilla cheesecake was the best Rio Tacos had to offer.

   Resolutions almost ALWAYS have no bearing in law. They’re a way for the legislative body to have an official-looking document that basically says “Here’s what we think and what we think should (or should not) happen.”

   Just declined membership to the 175 that were left — they had thirty (30) days to fill out a questionnaire that takes all of five (5) minutes, and that’s if you’re goofing around with a bunch of other things at the same time, yet none of them could be bothered.

   I agree with Spike on this 1000 %.

   Mr. Bill the Original Weldist can lick the canine fecal matter from my shoe soles, for all I care. (I can step in a fresh pile so that there’s plenty for him.)

   As for tanks, remember that it takes at least three people to actually use it AS A TANK. Otherwise, it’s just an oversized, expensive bulldozer.

   Please do have fun changing the road wheels and track segments.

   As for nukes, I’m all for private-sector civilian possession of those, too.
