Happenings: The Tour of the Gila Bicycle race 2009

(Yes Children, 2009 was the year that Lance came to town)

Well it is over. I hope you got out to see some of the show. It was especially grand this year with two of the top rider athletes in the world finishing first and second. The fans were not disappointed.

Unlike last years rather dismal turnout, this year saw Bullard street sidewalk to sidewalk with seasoned veteran fans and new fans alike. The riders flew by in masses so thick and so fast that it was hard to tell a player, even knowing the rider’s number and team colors.

Lance finished second behind “Mellow Johnny’s” teammate Levi Leipheimer. Third place was earned by Philip Zajicek who managed the win in the now infamous Gila Monster stage. Results. No one is their right mind would do what those guys do on that ride. I have a cabin near the Cliff Dwellings at the Gila Hot Springs, and the ride down from the peak scares me a bit when I drive in my trusty automobile with good brakes. Downhill 35 mph is scary fast in a car, and these guys hit over 70 mph downhill in places… Let’s not even think about the climb effort necessary. Lordy….

Recycling Bins painted

Have you seen any of the new bins? What do you think? The kids have done a great job on the finished bins, and there are still a couple more nearing completion.

Local schools were supplied with paints and materials (complements of the RAID Grant) to spiff up our on site collection units. The bins will be judged by the Recycling committee and awards for the best entries (by age category) will be made.

Check out the one at Gough Park. Nice Work… Read Story

TRIVIA Contest: “EVIL SPELLED BACKWARDS IS?”

(NOT ANSWERED 5-29-2009 - TOO TOUGH HUH?)

A prize if you know what establishment in Ft Worth Texas used this as their unofficial slogan… They also had a “branch” in Houston and Big “D”… These long established “businesses” started late 50’s and were pretty much dead by early 70s… All branches have been closed for many years, but musicians still talk about the quality of player that walked through the doors there.

EVENTS: THE BLUES FESTIVAL—2009

Coco Montoya is a name that is well known to players and blues fans worldwide. His tone is unique. When he last graced Silver’s stage, he was the supporting cast. Now in the lead role, we will get to see (and hear) more. Exciting!!!

I first saw Coco with the Butterfield Blues Band - back a young adult’s lifespan ago. I’m certain he was a fender guy then, and I believe he was already a strat cat. I was still hauling around a Les Paul Black Beauty, and hadn’t learned what I know now. (A strat cat NOW and FOREVER)

He played through a Fender amp and played mostly direct without effect. He has what we in Texas called “the sound.” The sound was what you got with a combo of highly skilled and talented fingers mixed with a tube amp (or amps & usually Fender) overdriven to the exact point where the forces of light, good, and beauty meet up with the darker edges of evil and the ugly. People Get Ready……… (5-29-2009) It was even better than expected. Several videos from the show are available on utube. I've made them available here too.

May’s 2 part Trivia question: This is a 1970 movie about a “down under” folk hero (criminal), and the title role was played by a well known English musician who had very little prior acting experience. The reviews were mixed, but this super star was generally considered the perfect choice for the part. A masterpiece IMO.

What was the name of the movie, and Who was the lead?

Free Money - More on Tax Credit

FREE MONEY
$8000 Tax Credit
Do you Qualify?
US Stimulus Information
See the NAR Presentation
Ending sooner than later

New Mexico has made it possible to borrow at a 0% interest rate (to be used as a down payment) up to the full $8000 tax credit / refund that is being offered first time home buyers* through the economic stimulus plan. NM has decided to help assist first time home buyers in grabbing the American dream.

We only have a few months left to find our dream home, get financing, and close escrow before Uncle Sam withdraws his offer of Free Loot. It's time to get serious about shopping before sellers decide that the 3-5% that prices have pulled back since we hit the (financial crisis) wall, is enough to give back.

This is a zero % loan if paid back using the governments $8K within the next year. See the presentation and get specific details on the stimulus (contact link below).

Contact Archer by E-Mail

*First time home buyer has been determined to be anyone NOT owning a primary residence in the three years immediately prior to the closing of the qualifying property.

SRAM Tour of the Gila was very Cool

It seems the rush from last week's event is starting to wane with the W word in everyone's vocabulary again. Was that some fun or what? I only took photos during Stage 4 , and the Q is questionable too. But I think you can see some parts of town, and hopefully some of you will come out and visit. Unique in many ways. Hope you enjoy.

Back On topic: I see where today's release highlighted an increase in "pending home sales." This seemed to add fuel to an enthusiastic stock market today with a belief that things really are getting better. There are two ways of looking at any improving sales numbers that are provided.To say things are truly much better is one of the ways to look at it.

We know that builders (nationally) have few projects actually getting built. Those numbers are reported as way down. Now since there are fewer homes being built, and there are more pending sales that become sales, if it turns out that most of the reported sales are not REO, Short Sales, or distressed properties in some financial way, I might just agree that it's getting better.

More as time allows... Come on over to Silver City and give it a feel....

IT'S GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME.
