The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

It's so absolutely New Mexico and a late HGF!

Hi! I'm back, I vacated a little too much, and now I have to make up for lost time. So I'll be busy all weekend doing all those things I swore I'd do while I was on spring break. All I really got done was a lot of riding.

But today I ran across a story that could only happen in New Mexico. If one has a time capsule and wants it buried in New Mexico, make sure you do it right then and in full public view or:

"Santa Fe's 1960 time capsule was never buried
Project ditched 40 years ago; tube was used as shelf for 'useless objects'"
Msnbc

Apparently in 1960 they celebrated the 350 anniversary of Santa Fe and though they were off by more than a few years, as they found out later, they intended to bury a time capsule. However,the mayor at the time just put the shelf in the back of his shop and used it as a shelf, never buried it, never put anything in it, so New Mexico. Ya gotta love 'em.

Sorry I wasn't around yesterday for HGF but here is a little something to makeup for that. Continuing the theme from last week.
