Our one time to watch baseball in Albuquerque was the night of "Right to Life" night at the old Dukes park. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=886&dat=19890730&id=XJhMAAAAIBAJ&sjid=KIEDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2878,6564741<br />The sponsors of the evening were down one base line and the pro-choice group was down the other line. We were sitting behind the plate (because that is where we had bought tickets). <br /><br />There was no violence and it was sort of a non-event, though I think some DJ actually wrote a song about it. <br /><br />The denouement is that we won a door prize during the game, and it was for dinner at a local barbecue place. Since this was our one and only night in Albuquerque we had no use for it. But when we got home, I looked up the address of the local Planned Parenthood office and sent them the coupon. I got a nice thank you note.Breadbakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-29298034492101377262013-07-29T14:01:38.055-07:002013-07-29T14:01:38.055-07:00Ok, now look.

I am a native of Albuquerque and I can take a LOT of guff for my hometown, but the one thing I cannot abide is this sentence:<br /><br />"...as I picked the jalapeƱos out of my Frosted Flakes (they put them in everything there)"<br /><br />You absolutely did NOT have jalapenos on everything. You had green chile. There is a massive difference. Massive.<br /><br />And in case you question the value of green chile, you'll note Albuquerque's green chile is considered America's Best Food.<br /><br />http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/destinations/2013/07/25/10best-readers-choice-best-iconic-food/2585905/<br /><br />Maybe it's your sad sorry LA taste buds that are lost, eh?<br /><br />Meanwhile, thanks for the awesome baseball team name. And excellent first pitch. Congrats on not clanking it. Then again Lon Simmons just threw a first pitch for his 90th birthday and got 'er right in there too.Lucynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-70043552120188726982013-07-29T11:43:06.347-07:002013-07-29T11:43:06.347-07:00Ken - Off topic but Spike Lee has spoken today def...Ken - Off topic but Spike Lee has spoken today defending his use of Kickstarter, saying he's brought a lot of people to Kickstarter who'd never heard of it!

I did get a chance to drive by the ballpark, and it looked like a gem.<br /><br />Weather was somewhat different when i was there, too. High 90s-100s every day. I got into my rental car after work one day and the external temperature read 119. I drove around to get dinner, run an errand and it got down to 109. At 7:30 PM.
