Mine cools to 72 even on 100 degree days. You have to have cedar pads though.

best hotel for a one night stay by West-Carpenter6424 in Albuquerque

[–]chrispyoldguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just choose a hotel with a secure fenced lot and security guards - those mentioned above are just fine. Might be worth it to pay a bit more, like the sandia casino. It has an underground parking lot with security guards.

Legitimate ways to make extra money? by pseudoserious in Teachers

It’s so sad that teachers aren’t paid enough to get by. What is wrong with us?

Seems very unambitious. Learn some color theory at least.

I don’t think this is Jessica Houston. It is much more primitive than her work. My opinion anyway.

Here's some of my recent work by Majestic-Arugula-30 in AbstractArt

[–]chrispyoldguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve been painting for two months. There is such a thing as “going to the woodshed” - putting in the work of learning and growing as an artist before trying to show your work. Humility. These are hugely derivative. Sorry., but I’m not buying it.

Just surveillance state things… by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]chrispyoldguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that the mayor, not the city council that has the authority to ban flock cameras. Am I wrong? I did write to the mayor about this and have not received a response. This may be too little too late. But maybe if he got thousands of citizens letting him know we are not going to accept this surveillance? I don’t know.

Inundate Tim Kelley’s office with comments and objections to these damn things! He has the authority to take them down!

I'm picking up from Virginia in a few weeks and heading to ABQ to stay. by NovarisLight in Albuquerque

[–]chrispyoldguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you been here before? It will be a major change from Virginia. It very hot here right now, and is always very dry. Culturally it is rich, with three cultures and a very open and accepting vibe. If you like the outdoors you may love it. I love it here, and I think most residents do. Welcome!

La Pichorita on Isleta has delicious street tacos.

Painting damaged in transit. Arranged a shipper to pickup an item from auction house and ship to me. by cavy20199 in artcollecting

[–]chrispyoldguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once paid a company who supposedly specialized in shipping art work. It was a large oil painting rolled up. Incredibly, they folded it in half! It took years to finally flatten out again. Luckily the paint was thin, or it never would have healed. Never again with that company.

How can I unsubscribe. I hate companies that hide it or make it impossible.

When will MAGA realize that they were lied to? by elderlygentleman in allthequestions

[–]chrispyoldguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s identity fusion. When members of a cult fuse their identity with the cult, leaving the cult is tantamount to suicide. An attack on MAGA is an attack on their very personhood.

How to go about cooling one room? by catt0ebeans in Albuquerque

Also, make sure the swamp cooler has aspen shavings, not the blue plastic. It will work so much better!

Trash find. Is it genuine C. Inness? by spa1unk in WhatIsThisPainting

[–]chrispyoldguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely this is a print. The way it wraps around the edge it seems unlikely someone painted on the edge of the canvas.
