Taos really needs to document the counter culture / commune movement before that generation passes

With Taos being one - if not the main - epicenter of counter culture in the US having 50 communes around in the area during the 60s-70s, it's shocking how little is actually recorded from all this activity. There's one book, 'Counter Culture of the Southwest' - and that's about it that's actually transcribed.

The rest is word of mouth - and the word of mouth people are in their 70s now. Where were all the communes? Ask around and you can find out eventually where New Buffalo and Morning Star were, but some of this should really be recorded - who were they, what happened, how did they fall apart, how did Lama stick around etc.

The reason it's important is because everyone keeps coming up with grievances against the mainstream culture, but without a history of what the prior generation fought against and built to attempt to replace it, people are bound to repeat the same mistakes. I feel like people ought to know where good ideas started things, where friction came about, where existing community backlashed, etc.

West Mesa Folks - Bridge closure for Rail Raising - Submit comments

One of the options being considered is closing the bridge entirely for 4 weeks. A better alternative is just closing one lane...

Moving forward

Overall, what do people think of establishing an Northern New Mexico Autonomous Zone? Literally moving forward with reasonable laws based on direct democracy- no politicians- but new technologies that weren’t available at the founding….. blockchain, crypto, renewables, PLUR social contract…Reestablishing the value of work with food co-op, artist colonies, and craftsmen guilds to full fill the markets…

Reason: Once a barrel of oil is put into yuan…The dollar will crash and collapse any order the current government is going for….It would be prudent to start planning ahead? Thoughts?

Bulk Hatch Chili Powder

I’m looking for advice on locally owned/operated NM companies who sell/ship hatch chili powders in bulk. A friend has a bakery in the New England who’s looking to regularly purchase NM hatch chili powder in bulk for some baked goods they’re making. Thank you!!
