Enjoy this snail kiss and pass it on....

You know, it is a minor miracle that there is a snail in New Mexico. They usually can't survive the arid climate, but recently we've had lots and lots of rain (like, raining every afternoon for 3 days is what we call a MONSOON).

Rain is so funny in New Mexico. It's like, no one ever thinks it's really going to happen (which is somewhat true. it only rains about 20ish days out of the WHOLE YEAR). So they don't make holes for the water to go!

So everytime it rains fairly hard, the streets fill up with water and you half expect some gondolier to start floating up beside your car window singing. Okay. Maybe I just wish that, but seriously, the sewer holes are usually on an uphill. C'mon. Duh.

see, i went to college!

did you notice I figured out how to make a link?

sometimes i outdo myself. the agony of genius...

The Flying Star

The Flying Star Cafes are by far some of the hippest trendiest little places in Albuquerque. They are owned and operated by a very brilliant husband and wife team from right here in Burque. (pronounced bur-kee for all of you non-New Mexican folk.) They've been in business for 20 years, and they have cafes and their little coffee shop spinoffs (Satellite Coffee) all over Albuquerque. They seem to have the eye for trendy and delicious atmosphere. I want to make Dahnyoga centers as popular as these great little eateries.

Now pay me 20 bucks, Flying Star, for plugging you on my blog.

Okay, okay. I'll take the free internet access as payment.
