Kapital “Denim man maze”

Has anyone else noticed lately that blue in green ironically doesn’t measure BiG style anymore? I’ve looked at a few size charts for different pairs and thigh measurements seem to be way off. Edit: nevermind. It might just be the pair of black sugar canes I was looking at. I thought there was another pair I was looking at with odd measurements, but most seem consistent.

Some true religion with metal studs on the back pockets and 1 stitch per inch construction should round out that collection nicely

Within the city, you will find several high desert landscapes, such as petroglyph state park. These are ancient rock carvings done by indigenous peoples who inhabited the area long ago. Just outside the city a bit, we have Tent Rocks National Monument, which is another beautiful natural rock formation in the high desert.

Also every october, we have several “burning man” type ceremonies. The most famous is in Sante Fe, known as Zozobra. This is a smaller one known in our community as El Kookooee. Everyone writes down their worries or fears on a paper, and they are burned along with the creation. Every year the children from the local middle school construct the figure to be burned. We also have a Dia De Los Muertos parade around the same time It’s known as the marigold parade, to honor those who have passed on. The three pictures here aren’t too great, but most people paint their faces as Esquelitos or skeletons.

Every October(except this year, probably), Albuquerque has the International Balloon Fiesta. People from all over the world come to fly their balloons over the course of a week. It’s quite common to have balloons land in any open space across the city, including occasionally right in your back yard.

Just a couple miles from the city is the Sandia mountains. The peak is about 12k feet I believe, and the city itself is about 5k feet above sea level, as we are located in the high desert.

I’ve always wanted to contribute to this thread, but since we’re trying to isolate it makes it kind of hard to get some new pictures around town. I thought I would highlight some very different landscapes all within close proximity to Albuquerque, NM. I hope these fit the theme of the thread somewhat. This is the Rio Grande river that runs right through our town, and the “forested” area surrounding the river is know locally as the Bosque. There is all different types of wildlife that can be found here. Sorry about the picture quality, but below you’ll find a very blurry horned owl, porcupine, and a bald eagle, all seen on the same day a couple months ago. Easier to spot the animals before the spring brought leaves back to the trees. The Mountains in the background are known as the Sandia mountains, and part of the Cibola National Forest. I’ll come back to those in the next post.

She wanted me to post the finished product because I told her how impressed everyone was with the last round

Thought I would show you all the finished boro quilt that my wife was working on. Kind of hard to get the whole king size quilt in one picture, but check out that puckering after its initial wash!

93 here in NM too!

In the states those kind of folks do make detective. Hell, Captain probably...

I’ll be watching to see what you guys come up with. I’d join 100% if a 60’s fit was an option.

I think this is exactly the dangerous rhetoric most here are referring too.
