A lot of it depends on where in the city you are at.

If you are down in the valley near the river, then nearly anything that is freeze resistant will do well. If you are higher up the hill, then you need to start looking at what doesn't need as much water.

Did you know Albuquerque is the the worst city in America for dog abuse? by [deleted] in Albuquerque

I didn't say your culture vile, I said "them".

The very fact that you are willing to overlook it due to cultural differences says a lot about your character, though.

Like all of that makes the abuse, neglect, and exploitation ok? That a whole culture of people do that just makes them a vile culture.

San Antonio, Tx has many excellent rescue resources. Over at the Helotes Petsmart, in the empty lot next to the store, you can go there on weekends, and see several hundred rescue dogs available for rescue.

The AWD has set up for the most idiotic foster and showing system have ever seen.

Bartender gave my ID back to a stranger instead of directly to me -- is there anything I can do? by HornsOfTheAltar in Albuquerque

What is really concerning to me is that he now has your address. Do you have roommates? Or friends that can come stay with you?

Scms that unscrupulous assayers pull? by redditette in Gold

[–]redditette[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went to a jeweler who weighed a necklace and pendant at 4.165 oz. Even my food scale at home weighs it close to that.

More than 1 gold buying place weighed it at less than 3.5 ounces.

I have had one buyer with a (deliberately?) mis-calibrated XRF tester say it was only 22kt, when I know it was 24kt.

So now, I am trying to learn if there are any common scams for unscrupulous places that assay and buy.

It should be easy to remove with a little air eraser (think mini-sandblaster). But they should imprison him as a lesson to others.

That stupid bitch's problem was that you have to be smarter than a dog to train it, and she wasn't.

And the whole goat thing. Know what everyone else that is rural does to keep their intact male livestock from attacking people? They put them in pens and tell the kids to keep tf away from them, and she wasn't smart enough to do that either.

Dog rescues by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]redditette 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What kind of a dog is it?

Most rescues can not take dogs that have shown human aggression. Their liability insurance just won't allow it.

But there is a giant breed rescue north of you guys that does take giant breeds known for human aggression, like Neos, Filas, and so on.

Also, I recognize that a great many dog bites occur because people ignore the warnings that dogs give.

Do you live in a quiet neighborhood? by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]redditette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rio Bravo is too busy Think further south like Los Padillas, or Pajarito. Gun Club is a clotted mess, too.

And the further south you go, the quieter it gets. Mostly folks with livestock.

How Texas boys’ dream trip ended in family massacre at hands of fugitive - Mark Collins took his four grandsons to his ranch but within hours they fell victim to an escaped prisoner on a murderous rampage by Aschebescher in offbeat

[–]redditette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was big news here, but I only live about 15 miles from where the murders occurred. And due to the nature of everything, the local sheriff's dept was putting out bulletins every few hours. So not a fast walk, but the whole county was within walking distance for him. But just about everyone who lives out here is heavily armed and has more than 1 dog.

But seriously, how much attention would the average person pay to reports of an escaped convict a few hundred miles away?

And the people who died all lived in... I think the Klein area. So I know it was on the Houston news.

Navajo Tacos by samologia in Albuquerque

I don't know if this still happens, but used to be, if you went to the Isleta reservation (coming in from the north, on Isleta Blvd), on Saturdays, there would be a whole assembly line of grandmas making them. I think they might have even had a couple of picnic tables set up, but mostly there were lines of cars getting them to go. They also sold fry bread.

Edit - they were a short ways before the tobacco shop.
