Balloon Glow in Albuquerque tonight. Coop and I stuck to the hills 20 miles north and witnessed another glow in the view west from dreamranch, although Cabezon and the mesas are diminished by the lense of my iPhone4.

I’m sure it’s nice to be wanted — as in being invited to Bishop’s Lodge by Jeff Bezos — but shedding some unflattering light on the ways of the modern publishing world are three newspaper reports this weekend on the Amazon CEO’s secretive retreat on the edge of Santa Fe. — The New York Times …
Election-year vortex hovering over dreamranch, interfering with imagination and disrupting communications.
This youngster, one of the Placitas free-roaming bunch, wasn’t looking for a handout: She just came over to check out Cooper. They touched noses and the foal went back to her parents. The foal seemed to sense that Cooper was not a horse. And Cooper was satisfied that she was not a dog. Two of …

My favorite rodeo grounds tweet of the week, from @JoeBeaver8x: “Calling all goat tiers… 10am we will be tieing all goats at the goat trailer at the end of the arena.” Probably have to wait for the National Finals Rodeo to hear the B&W ad again. No, not BMW. This is rodeo. Not some fussy …
Life goes on in New Mexico: Woke to the sound of a breeze in the piñons and junipers — to my ears distinctly New Mexico and one of the reasons I live here. Brewed coffee — thanking goodness for continued operation of the family-run Whiting Coffee Company on Osuna in Albuquerque — squared myself in …
I know Cooper has a significant take-it-easy gene, I know he is getting older and I know that his heavy black coat just doesn’t get along with New Mexico summers. Now, I think I know something else about my animal shelter friend, who, at an uncertain age, came home with me eight years ago …
