What happened to the VP discussions? 22 Replies

They seem to have disappeared, some members are missing and there's a new discussion about policies for removing members. Was the political talk too hot for DCF? I'm a little weirded out!

My Personal State Fair Survival Guide

There's a reason I don't go to very many first run movies and when I do, I go to the matinee. There is no matinee at the state fair. With a $9 adult admission price, I have to choose my days carefully. Right now, the first ever Bluegrass Day on opening Friday looks pretty cool. Local he… Continue

Jason Daskalos goes to JAIL

No one wants anyone to GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL without passing GO but occasionally there is someone going there who might just be deserving of some 'downtime' or shall we say a retreat of sorts.

Here's a link to the full KOB News 4 Daskalos story… Continue

Act Fast: Chamber Conducting Online Business Poll re Arena

Neil Young's "Albuquerque"

With the change in seasons, I found myself listening once again to this old Neil Young tune and contemplating the crossroad's nature of our fair burg. It is fun to travel beyond 'burque and always good to return again with new perspectives. Too bad Neil didn't ask the red or green question back in the day; apparently fried eggs and country ham were more to his liking. Albuquerque by Neil Young Well, they say that Santa Fe Is less than ninety miles away, And I got time to r… Continue
