The rains on Wednesday September 30th combined with the cold air at 11,000+ elevation resulted in snow that wasn't obvious until today Friday October 2nd. Pictures taken from western Taos County of the Wheeler Peak area above Taos and the mountains around Questa.
Moe from the Three Stooges wore it best.
In this case, iconic stand alone 11,000 elevation San Antonio Mountain in far northern New Mexico. This mountain can be seen from upwards of 60 miles in some locations, especially in southern Colorado but also throughout much of Taos County. The fire has been named the Coco Fire and crews from the Carson National Forest were mobilizing when I took this picture at the corner Forest Road 87 and US Hwy 285 at 5:15 PM 8-6-26.
I was in a flatbed GMC 5500 work truck and couldn't take a pic but that's what happened overnight here in northern New Mexico. Where are all the guys bragging last week about the $69 per barrel oil when it's now at $100+? Already on Friday I saw in southern Colorado the diesel price go from $4.95 to $5.19 in one day.
So the latest "New Vision" media package is about a box with no return address sent from New Mexico. If Niantic is going to use the Land of Enchantment as a setting for future aspects of the storyline, how about some special events here like an anomaly? There are some very active agents in this relatively sparsely populated yet also very beautiful state. Think outside the box!
About a half hour ago, I completed my daily assignment and went to claim it. Only - when I clicked on the claim assignment button several times, nothing happened. So I turned Ingress off and restarted the program. When I looked at the daily assignment, not only were the yellow claim markers gone but the entire assignment appears to have reset for me to start it all over again as if I hadn't done it already. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
I saved a lot - not nearly all - off my old concert ticket stubs from the late 70s through the 80s and here is a list of the concerts and the prices of what I could find:
Bruce Springsteen at Red Rocks, Morrison, CO August 16th, 1981 $13.75. It rained hard for a bit but the band never quit!
Allman Brothers Band Red Rocks August 10th, 1980. $10.45 Great concert!
Frank Zappa Boulder, CO April 10th, 1980 $8.00. Fantastic concert and the very first ever concert at what then was the brand new CU Events Center.
Santana at the Paolo Soleri in Santa Fe, NM October 8th, 1988 $17.50. I mean, it was Santana and the Paolo Soleri was a great outdoor venue.
The Who Madison Square Garden, NYC September 13th, 1979 $12.50. One of my life's regrets is never getting to see the Who with Keith Moon.
Colorado Sunday Folsom Field, Boulder CO $11.00. This is a full afternoon and evening with Country Joe, Bob Welch, Poco, the Doobie Brothers, and topped by Boston.
The Who October 17th. 1982 Folsom Field $16.00. John Mellancamp/Cougar was the opening act and got booed for Jack and Diane.
Yes at the Tingley Collesium in Albuquerque, NM March 31st, 1984 $13.00. I actually saw Yes several times in NYC, New Jersey, and Santa Fe, NM.
Lots of other concerts in those days but these are ticket stubs I still had.
We've actually received some rain the past couple days and I awoke to some mist in the air today.
In our area there is one agent who very obviously is playing as an agent for both sides. Locals have actual seen this agent in action for both factions and I/we have plenty of screenshots to prove this. This type of game play is totally against the spirit of what most of us believe Ingress is about. When is Niantic Spatial going to enforce the rules and take these types of players out of the game? Or is it just all about selling tokens anymore? Inquiring minds want to know.
Today I went to two portals, scanned them, uploaded the scans, had the successful upload windows pop up, and then nothing. No scout controller attained and that is way out of the norm. Has anyone else had this experience recently?
Lawrence O'Donnell, in a masterful use of images of numbers on former NFL player's jerseys, severely criticized the entire premise of today's DOJ indictment of James Comey. That a grand jury got conned into allowing this indictment one thing, but once it gets to court, the ridiculousness of this will be exposed
