Taos Plaza 2023
I decided to spend a little time researching the Taos Plaza project. There have been several issues with the plaza to take care of. I am glad that they are doing it.
- Uneven Brick Work: Near the gazebo there are several areas where the bricks are uneven and sink down a bit.
- Drainage: There are several problems that seem pretty apparent.
- Several Levels: The useful area could be expanded by simplifying the level changes across the plaza.
- Gazebo Use: Its primary use seems to be as a performance stage. It seems like the intention is to expand the octagonal base to include areas to perform.
- Info Booth: Removal of the information booth.
There are also a couple issues that I personally have. The main one is the footprint of the veteran’s memorial. It seems to be a monument on top of a stucco pedistal/wall, on top of a platform that is blocked off by chains. The actual memorial is a small cross, a couple of plaques, a tiny statue, and two flag poles. My main point is that it takes up more space than necessary and that it feels a little hostile to people using the space. Though there are a couple benches and shaded areas that make the space nice too.
It seems that the area around the veteran’s memorial will be streamlined. Instead of walls, dividers, and a chain fence … the entire area will exist as a slightly elevated area. The edge of the area will simply be two or three steps down to the rest of the plaza.
Trying to stay away from social media
I have been a bit down the last few days. At this time of year I get down because my birthday is near and I end up evaluating my life in a less than positive light. Part of the depressing paralysis is brought on by a need to escape a bit. That happens with social media. I have been spending eight hours a day on it over the last three days. It isn’t healthy. I spend a bit of time bypassing the warning alerts on YouTube.
So, I hope to attempt a bit of a retreat from social media. Hopefully this looks like spending more time drawing, planning, and casually researching. I can still use the internet. I just can’t go to Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Well, I guess I have to do a little of it for work. Other than that … hopefully I can restrain myself. I won’t be perfect, but let’s see if the change is manageable.
Land on the Mesa
There is some land that my dad has. It is that silly land that really is about Mad Max apocalypse existence.

I just had my most intense childhood nightmare. Exactly as it was.
It is essentially a dream about a number series that goes on and on until you reach a final headache spike that is at the angstrom level that spikes into your head.
It starts out with the lower levels where there are things that you can do. You essentially swim up to the top of these tubes to see yourself trying on things. Men trying on suits. Women trying on dresses. From there things build like you are going up a high-rise and the floor get smaller each time you get higher. The whole culture …
(This is all part of the nightmare)
(It is recursive …)

This is a memory that I had as a child. It seems to have been waiting dormant for 40 years.
Finger splitting.
This is all part of it.
Kids and people would count these names and numbers. It was a way to keep track of what is going on.
Each level I was going to.
The boxes keep stacking.
But you are also falling.
Falling.
There is a restaurant at the bottom. They serve food. You can get this goulash. It is the simplest.
As you get higher, the courses get higher, simpler.
I was a young kid. I had a place, high on the number list.
This is a nightmare I has as a child. Over and over again.
For some reason. Even this. Typing into a web page is exactly as it was.
All those years ago.
Every word is almost the same.

Building a shed
I may take a short cut in building a shed and use the extra shed that my brother-in-law has. He is missing the bolts and fasteners to put it together. I don’t even know what brand it is. At the moment I am assuming it is an Arrow steel shed. Based on a quick look a the parts, it seems to be constant … though there are plenty of similar products on the market.

Path towards economic equity
This morning I woke up thinking about the path towards greater economic equity in the United States. A mix of the influence and reach of Mr. Beast and engineering a series of small social steps that inhibit the financial spread between owners and their employees.
The abstract hope is to use silly things like machine learning to establish or discover areas within the structures of society, corporations, and community economics that are ready for influence that gives poor people more economic advantages. Or that limits the ability for weathy individuals or groups to take advantage of the poor.
