The weatherman talked about possible snow, and you can feel the teeth of winter on your skin as Read More

Revolts and revolutions thrive on rebels

May 7, 2018 by baRb@55

A riot, revolt or revolution never remains complete without a rebel(s) to fuel the situation. These controversial leaders usually maintained an unsavory reputation as “troublemakers” at the time of their escapades. In time, northern New Mexico and southern Colorado history sometimes changes this viewpoint, honoring the leader through public memorialization. The reason for the rebellion, Read More

May 3, 2017 by baRb@55

STRAIGHT FROM the HORSE’S MOUTH: There is no shortage of myths, superstitions, and fun obscure facts when it comes to horses.
