Nasty Smoke here in NM

So this fire down in SW NM is putting a really paltry haze in the air …

Our typical bright blue vistas are fogged out – while we have 50mph wind, too. Cautions are out for everyone to stay indoors today …

Ugh.

Effigy 101

Okay, this is just getting silly now.

These guys in the East love burning effigies – I get it. But it seems they are running out of quality material, don’t you think (yes, that’s a pic of a drone)?

As a matter of fact, an “Effigy” is strictly defined as “a representation of a person, especially in the form of sculpture or some other three-dimensional form.” Don’t ask me where I got the pic, by the way. I took a screen shot of it on my tablet while reading the news in bed the other night because I found it so silly – but I can’t make this crap up.

From a group of guys who take things so literally, you’d think they’d work more aggressively at recruiting someone who is really good at paper machete or scale model design.
