REALITY ISSUES 0080The Holiday Episode (ABQ 1976)S07 E04 AThe first episode produced through our patented SneakerNet technologies and methods. Come and join us for our (late) holiday experience because we ourselves had to live it first. Slice of life !When the frosty charm of a Santa Fe Christmas collides with the sun-kissed nostalgia of Floridian heritage, you know you're in for a tale of contrasts and chuckles. As I muse over my snow-dusted escapades and the whimsy of recording with a single mic, we weave through an array of stories, unearthing the quirks of holiday bonuses (got a spud, anyone?) and the complex true crime saga of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. The path takes a darker turn as we examine the intricate web of gaming addiction, pondering the siren call of in-game purchases and my own brush with Fortnite's captivating loop.Our narrative takes a whimsical detour through the checkered past of pinball, from its heyday to its ties with nefarious activities. Imagine the audacity of an 18-year-old hacker swiping the GTA source code - it's a story that could spawn from the very games we discuss. We compare the relentless pursuit of growth in our lives and businesses to the expansive ambitions of historic figures, and how this mirrors the ever-evolving landscape of the gaming industry. Wrap up your headphones, as we're about to embark on a journey that's not just a podcast episode, but a heartfelt rendezvous with history. Step into the time capsule with us to relive the golden days of the New Mexico State Fair and the poignant beats of the 20th century's defining moments. From Jackie Robinson's courage to the rallying cries of political and cultural icons, we share the stories that have left indelible marks on our world.

Two women have filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court that argues a vaccine mandate for certain health care workers and for attendance at the New Mexico State Fair violates their constitutional rights. The lawsuit seeks to bar the mandate's enforcement. Meanwhile, the state's Youth Livestock Board has moved its annual competition to Roswell in an effort to sidestep the vaccine mandate, which impacted children in FFA and 4-H programs who are too young to receive an approved vaccine. The Line opinion panelists look at continued pushback against the governor's public health orders. Fleeing Taliban rule, Afghans who were able to leave their homeland are now arriving in the U.S., including to a part of Fort Bliss Army Base that's in New Mexico. The Line opinion panel offers thoughts on Democratic leaders reaching out to the White House to accept Afghans and what the state can realistically offer. The Line opinion panel looks at sobering numbers for pedestrian fatalities in New Mexico. Albuquerque has long had a serious problem – leading the nation for pedestrian deaths four years running – but what does the rest of the sprawling state do for people who prefer or have no other choice than to walk?

Kevin Bubriski, a New Englander and internationally acclaimed photographer, was a freelance photojournalist when he first arrived in New Mexico in 1981 to study filmmaking in Santa Fe. Bubriski recalls, “Although I was working as a news photographer on my own, I was looking for images that I enjoyed for their own visual merit and innate curiosity.” Bubriski found himself in a new culture as distinct to him as any foreign country he would later photograph. He took his 35-millimeter camera and hand-cranked 16mm Bolex, and began to explore the environs, particularly the neighborhoods of native New Mexicans. Excited by the photographic opportunities, he says, “I went to every fiesta, every parade, every celebration and religious observance.”Look into My Eyes: Nuevomexicanos por Vida 81′-83‘ is a collection of images from that personal exploration, it is a photographic documentation of Hispanic New Mexicans, Nuevomexicanos, taken between 1981-1983 in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and several northern New Mexico villages. Bubriski turned his attention to New Mexico teenagers. Downtime for them meant cruising and meeting up at places like San Gabriel Park in Albuquerque. He photographed them at the New Mexico State Fair and the First Annual Lowrider Car Show and Dance. He photographed family members of all ages at weddings and dancing at the La Bamba Club on New Year’s Eve. There is a universality to Bubriski’s powerful images. The emotions revealed in his images are timeless; the physical details are a time capsule of the early eighties in New Mexico. There is an intimacy to these images, as well, the subjects, whether looking directly into the lens or away from it, appear at ease with Bubriski and his camera, inviting the viewer in for a closer look. Over three decades later, this resurrected collection of photographs isan evocative cultural documentation of people who proudly trace their ancestry to Spanish settlers who arrived here several centuries ago.
