I THINK YOU JUST MIGHT BE CONFUSED:

... So, a funny thing happened to me while walking into the office this morning - I was stopped by one of my newer coworkers and he asked me a question that initially caught me a little off-guard and that, upon reflection, was at the very least odd.

Our dialouge went a little something like this:

Coworker: "Hey, I have a question fo you..."

Me: "Good morning"

Coworker: "...Are you an Engineer too?"

Me: "No, I'm not an Engineer."

Coworker: "Oh because there was an Engineer that signed the plans for my house."

Me: "Like someone from Development Services?"

Coworker: "Well, here's what happened - My Contractor told me he knew a guy at the County who was an Engineer who would sign my plans...And I thought his name was Benjamin [last name redacted] but I couldn't read his full signature."

Me: "Huh...I see."

Coworker: "Well my project is almost done now, so..."

Me: "Well, congratulations - Good for you."

Coworker: "Yeah."

Okay...That would be it. That was my first exchange with another human being (...other than my Wife) on this fine Monday Morning.

No.

No, that was not me.

No, that was not me that sold my stamp to your Contractor and his "Design" drawings.

No, that was not me and - No, I am not an Engineer.

Move along...Nothing to see here,

LCNM SUNSET CIRCA 1999:

... So, if you did not know by now I grew up in Southern New Mexico in a small city with a population of around 90,000 people - Great wide open spaces, desert landscapes - Yes, Hatch Green Chiles - And sunsets like these:

I guess I am feeling a little homesick - Or maybe I am just missing my past life when I had time to take photographs like these and be creative; back when I did not have to chase a two year old around...Both, maybe?

Viva Las Cruces...Holla' at your Boy,
