Last Saturday was a very successful workday at Dudley. The Tularosa Basin Historic Society had 29 volunteers helping with all projects, tore down all the non-historical walls not needed, hauled out all the debris, outside, dead trees cut down and vegetation cut back under-control.
With the walls gone, it really opened up the place, a lot of natural light, going to be great.
The two volunteer workdays will be Friday (16th) and Saturday (17th) starting at 7:00 am not going past 12:00.
Now that the walls and debris are out of the way, time to do touch ups and paint the walls and trim.
All supplies are there now. Outside crew we need to install the fencing around the perimeter and put in the privacy slats. Again, the supplies are on site now.
Weed eater crew we need you for southside of the property. Northside was completed looking great. The crew also pulled up the ceramic tiles and plywood in the front foray to reveal the original wood floor is still intact.
Will take some work to sand, stain and varnish, but it will make a comeback.
If you can make it, we can use the help. As before, even if only for a few hours, don't have to stay the whole time.
The contact for the event on Friday and Saturday to volunteer is Joe Lewandowski Operational Consultants 1102 24th Street Alamogordo, NM 88310 575-430-8989
Did anyone see what Senator Charles Grassley is saying about AI yesterday. What does that have to do with this? It might explain why legal systems in many cities are such a mess.
But also: Why is no one talking about the DISMAL low income housing in Alamogordo, and the need to investigate what is going on in those places, and the lack of housing for homeless???????????

It is interesting as you delve into the family, business and indeed religious connections that are intertwined in city politics. Some folks have a whole lit of fleas scratching the dog.
Absolutely true lots of fleas itching the dog!!
I somehow got logged out without doing so since last time I was here. I wanted to view the Flickinger meeting on Facebook but cannot because my account was taken down. I do not attend these public events because of all the attempts to mess with my life already.
two observations:
Absolutely. I would say those are conservative numbers at 1 in 40. The quickest way to become wealthy in America is to enter politics. I would say Miss McDonald is 1 in a 109. The family fun center fiasco is a true memorial to what nepotism and back room dealing will get you.
PBS was relevant.
NPR and PBS were definitely relevant - which is precisely why the trump regime has scuttled them...we have truly entered the era of alternative "truth".
Everything in Alamogordo feels fake to me, as if it is some kind of staging ground or network, not an organic community. Since the Manhattan Project, the military has used the town that way, but then there was a hard separation between the base and the town, and maybe that’s where things went sideways.
It looks like my comment was edited.The part about low income housing being crime infested was removed.
this is a situation which is replicated in countless small communities across our nation; where a single business/mine/factory/industry, or in this case, military base, is the economic engine that powers the entire community. this creates a nervous sort of dependency, and subservient approach within the local gover
