Oh no, Reyn, have we frightened you away from Albuquerque? The walls can wait, we need some of that Canadian charm.

Yeah, I think I'm off of Dys' "friend list". He hardly ever talks to me.

That's okay. I'm not much one for travelling anyways. I'm one of those "homebodies".

(No, BBB, I never did get a name from you about the place you liked... something to do with your not then having my email address.

It was the tow truck driver who told me about it, and as that recommendation coincided with a place I'd looked up previously in the phone book, I said, "OK, then". It's VO Volvo on 3rd Street downtown. Not only were they efficient, reasonably priced, caring enough to call the next day to make sure the car was doing well... but I spent most of the time in the waiting room/office laughing. They are a witty crew there, even though they are busy.

I was doubly edified since I've had previous experience with a tow truck driver taking me and my auto, not the same volve, to a very shady mechanic. So, in this case, I'd also recommend that particular tow truck driver.)

The hostess is passing me around to Canadians.

Really, I don't know quite how to respond to this turn of events.

I will not eat mountain goat balls. Worse even than cowboy balls. Confused Do we have a cowboy willing to provide....brekkies?

So, are we starting a festival in ABQ? Should we drive our Harley's or something? Our monster trucks?

Osso, the Volvo place on 3rd Street is the one I tried to recommend to you based on my own experience with them. It's helpful that they offer loaner cars.

I might be able to plan a trip in a couple of years. Can't say for sure. A lot of it depends on the mrs. I will be away from the present job, preparing to get a new one, after a short respite.

Hey, what's this about a DYS CLUB? No one even nominated me, not even our (Dys and my) friend, Francis.

By the way, Lash. Those are not huevos rancheros. HR's are fried eggs on a fried corn tortilla with red or green sauce on them. They are usually served with refried beans: my favorite breakfast.
Huevos Divorciados (divorced eggs) are the same, except that one egg has green sauce (salse verde) on it and the other red sauce (salsa roja). Sometimes, as in Mexico City's Sanborn's restaurant chain, the "divorced" eggs are separated by the refried beans.

Nobody went straight to the top of the power structure. I envy his mojo.

to satisfy the "northerners" many cafes serve huevos rancheros with flour tortillas, this is an abomination and should never be tolerated. Breakfast burritos may be served with flour tortillas. Beans should be served with every meal preferably with queso blanco melted on top.

Only when Long Neck Bud is added to the meal, most of us prefer a nice Chilian Cab or perhaps a nice chilled Portugese vinho verde.

Are they spelling it differently now? I always thought it was "Navajo" with a "j."
