My question, for the Court of Opinion is this:
Does the *TYPE* of needle used to draw blood effect the blood alcohol content test?
That is one argument going on in the trial of a drunk Lawyer here, who ran down a man crossing a street in Santa Fe, killing him. He had a passenger in the car, a police officer of some rank who was also drunk. They have video of the suspects being taken from the car showing them disorientated, at the very least. They had been downing more than a couple in a bar and stayed there for quite a bit of time before getting in their car and driving. They are also trying the passenger/policeman for not stopping his drunk buddy from driving that night.
They are saying that the nurse who drew the blood for the blood alcohol test did it with the wrong type of needle.
I just cannot think, beyond some amazing conspiracy theories of needles or vials the blood was drawn into containing secret shots of tequila (frozen margaritas for the Cold War Conspiracy spin!), how this could possibly effect the test!
So, how many of you think with me that this is a total waste of the court's time?

So, to get myself back, here is a report on the Green Chile crop for this year!
Hatch'09 is a Jekyll and Hyde deal. Friends up in Colorady report amplified heat. My first few bites were extremely mild. Then I got one that was challenging! Ok, it made me run around in panicked circles, then it let go in about 10 minutes. Next few were back to extreme mild. Go figure. That's all I can say.

1. Hyundai Elantra GLS
2. Toyota Corolla LE
3. the brand new Kia Forte' EX
The Hyundai seems to have the lead, on paper and costs the least for the same features.
Anyone have any input I should know about? Please let me know!
I will be taking a good male pal who is a local mechanic and knows many of the people in several dealerships along with me on this venture, which I hope to have done by the 20th. There is a town up North of me called Las Vegas, NM where they will be having a tour of historical houses starting the 27th. Also that week, the old restaurant up in Chimayo, Rancho de Chimayo will be re-opening after the fire they suffered last year. I really want to go to both.

Is it too hard to use 5 letters compared to 4? Is it an attack of LOLspeak? Do you think it's "cute?"
The term, "SciFi" has a long and honorable history. It has Class (yes, Big C). And it's catchy and cute enough.
ThanksFi

But for one particular four-year-old, Emma, her personal hero is a professional bull rider, specifically Cord McCoy.
Earlier this week, McCoy was with spending a day off with his girlfriend when the pair decided to visit her cousin, who had never before ridden a horse. When they arrived, McCoy asked if she’d like to take a ride him around the ranch on horseback.
“She said, ‘Yeah, I want to ride a unicorn,’” McCoy recalled.
The Oklahoma native, known among PBR fans as one of the friendliest and good natured athletes, set out to make her wish come true.
He used an empty Pringles can to construct a horn, which he covered in silver duct tape before fastening it on the top of his horse’s head. Then to add to the moment, McCoy’s girlfriend gave him a black cape that fluttered in the wind as he loped into the backyard like a hero there to rescue his princess.
He pulled her up and the two rode around, took some photos and talked about the unicorn before dropping her back off.
That was when McCoy actually looked a lot like Superman. As he went to ride off the horse ducked its head and sent him over the top.
“Monday was the first day I was ever bucked off a unicorn,” joked McCoy. “It wouldn’t have been so funny if I wouldn’t have had the cape.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bubba Mae asks, "Is it any wonder why I like Cord McCoy? I sure hope he hurries back onto the PBR's BFTS. We all miss you, you crazy Ridin' Redhead. Just watch out for them Unicorns. They's awful Onery critters!"

Nope. I can't. Just looking at the pictures should have you drooling. I know I am. My napkin is on and my hat's off to you, Gil Garduno!
Yes, even the breakfasts have a little salad with them on the plate. Salad for breakfast? Oh yes, if it's this salad! Give it a try.
I have yet to try the evening offerings. I have been here for the brunch and I can tell you it is dynamite.
One note of caution: You must be careful negotiating the parking lot, though! There are some awful sharp dips in it. I hope they put some grates over them.
Housed in the Lucky 66 Bowling Alley (as was Sadie's long before it). The medium sized space is larger than it's sister operation, Sophia's which is just a little North up 4th street. Chef Apodaca's cuisine has more room here and has been expanded into the evening hours.

Sophia's was featured on Guy Fieri show, "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" (Episode 503 - Not What You'd Expect) on The Food Network. It's a little kitchen which is housed in what used to be an old drive-in. Chef Dennis Apodaca and his crew make up each plate to order. There is no freezer. It's all fresh. A better description of the cuisine would be World Fusion New Mexican.

Who is Tyrone? Who is Gladys? Let's visit Wikipedia:
- Tyrone: Do you believe in the hereafter?
- Gladys: Of course I do!
- Tyrone: Good. Then you know what I'm here after!
and from Arte Johnson's page:
the white-haired, trenchcoat-wearing "dirty old man" who repeatedly sought to seduce "Gladys Ormphby" (Ruth Buzzi's brown-clad 'spinster' character) on a park bench. Tyrone would enter the scene, muttering a song, and, spying Gladys on the bench, would sit next to her. He would ask two related 'leading questions,' each earning him a hard whack from a shocked Gladys using her purse. His third statement would be an appeal for medical assistance, at which time he would fall off the bench. Some examples:
- Tyrone: "You want to go to my place, and see where I sleep?" [WHACK!]
- Tyrone: "You want to go to your place, and see where you sleep?" [WHACK!]
- Tyrone: "You mind if I go to sleep right here?" [moans and falls off bench]
- Tyrone: "You want to play Post Office?" [WHACK!]
- Tyrone: "You want to play Spin the Bottle?" [WHACK!]
- Tyrone: "You want to play Doctor?" [moans and falls off bench]
Two 'non-medical' examples:
- Tyrone: "You want to play moongotcha?
- Gladys: "What's 'moongotcha'?"
- Tyrone: [Pointing upwards] "See the moon?" [While Gladys is looking up, he grabs her knee] "GOTCHA!" [WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!]
- Tyrone asks, "Do you believe in the hereafter?"
- Gladys says, "Of course I do!"
- Pleased, Tyrone exclaims, "Then you know what I'm here after!"
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Would you like to go to a play? [WHACK!]
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Would you like to go to a concert? [WHACK!]
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Would you like to go to a funeral?
[falls off the park bench]
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Do you believe in love at first sight? [WHACK!]
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Do you believe in two hearts intertwining to
become one? [WHACK!]
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Do you believe in mouth-to-mouth
resucitation? [He falls over]
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Hey, are you doing anything right now? [WHACK!]
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Are you doing anything tonight? [WHACK!]
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Are you doing anything tomorrow night? [WHACK!]
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Well, I'll come back and see you sometime
when you're not so busy.
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Would you like to call me Cutie? [WHACK!]
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Would you like to call me Sweetie? [WHACK!]
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Would you like to call me an ambulance?
[falls off the park bench]
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Would you call my face ruggedly handsome? [WHACK!]
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Would you call my body sensuously attractive? [WHACK!]
- Tyrone F. Horneigh: Would you call my next of kin?
[falls off the park bench]
Referring to an only moderately popular candy made from caramel and walnuts, Tyrone would also frequently ask Gladys, "Want a Walnetto?"
So, after hearing about this all during my childhood, I finally got to try the Walnetto!
It was caramelly and walnutty but somehow more than the sum of it's parts. Very satisfying!
So, now I know the secret of the Walnetto. Do you?

A little old man's family sends a hooker to his place for a birthday joke.
The hooker says, "I'm here to give you Super Sex!"
The little old man thinks about it and then says, "I'll have the Soup."
