I was a course marshal for two stage of the Tour of the Gila. As a course marshal, my job is basically keeping vehicles off the course while the cyclists are racing. But, motorists have different ideas.

The main reason I should let them proceed into the course is because I just need to go right over there. And they point like I know where just over there is. Like distance makes a difference when a peloton is coming down the road.

What is not understood is that just because you cannot see the racing going on in front of your face, does not mean you don’t need to stay where the fuck you are.

My job is protecting the cyclists.

May 1, 1994. A day I’ll never forget. As a general rule, I taped F1 races to watch later, because they started at 4 am on the west coast. Plus, I liked to party on Saturdays. For some reason on this morning, I was awake at 4am.

I can still see the crash in my minds eye. I also knew he was dead.

Watching the USA win the gold medal is a win for every hockey parent in America.

We all dragged our asses to the rink.

We all spent hours freezing our asses off.

I’m happy for them.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham plans to sign it into law.

“In one of the only comments lawmakers issued from the floor of the House Tuesday, Rep. Gail Armstrong (R-Magdalena) said that entering the compact will make it exceedingly easy for New Mexico doctors to leave the state unless lawmakers also enact meaningful medical malpractice reform.”

It seems only one politician gets how this will continue the erosion of providers, unless they limit malpractice awards.

This is Lynn from AAA travel. We have cruises…

I don’t go on cruises, they’re just floating Petri dishes.

$1 Million: Grant funding available to strengthen New Mexico’s primary care workforce

Applications are due by Feb. 27, 2026, at 5 p.m. MST. 

This is how corruption works in New Mexico.

The trial lawyers pay off Santa Fe to raise the malpractice awards to 6 million, per person, from 600K per case. The lawyers also keep New Mexico out of the interstate compacts, because they require binding arbitration, instead of litigation.

Now, the State offers 1 million of the billions they have cost medical providers for favorable news coverage.
