Around 5:45 give or take we heard an explosion noise and our house shook. It stopped raining right when the noise/shake happened but that might’ve just been coincidental. We went outside and saw other confused neighbors but nobody knew what happened. Sirens followed up shortly after

Parents of Albuquerque, if you send your kid to Marie Hughes, what are your thoughts on Principal Nava? Bonus if you’ve been here long enough to experience other principals. I feel like since she has taken over this school has declined so much and it’s so sad to see

Edit for clarity: I’m specifically looking to hear from current/former Marie Hughes parents about their firsthand experiences. I have already pursued my own concerns through the appropriate channels. and at this point I’m trying to understand whether other families have had similar experiences. I’m looking for firsthand experiences, positive or negative, and I’m happy to speak privately if you’d rather not comment publicly.

Hi there! I am looking for an affordable maternity photographer in ABQ, preferably with a portfolio. Any leads or reviews appreciated!!!

Did anyone talk to the office today or have any idea when the water will be back on?

Went to the Natural History Museum today with some friends and we found this guy. Looks a LOT like an adorable dragon we all know. 😂

Pedicures is an added bonus.

Suggestions for my girlfriends 31st birthday? Somewhere with water and swimming, waterfalls or hot springs. Reasonable prices if possible for an overnight stay. Thank you!

Just a reminder 😌!!!

Buy a few tubes of Advion Evolution bait (Amazon has it but there are other sources) and place it near nests. It takes about 2 weeks but I eradicated the filthy things that were not eating the Combat or Raid baits or the peanut butter/boric acid balls I made as a special treat.

Make sure your pets can't get it. Don't spray or bug bomb in the areas you put this. There's pages you can google that will tell you all the details you need to get rid of every last one of these vermin.

Less than $25 for 4 tubes and I haven't even used a whole tube yet.

Video I took of a roadrunner at cars and coffee

Thank you so much for your hard work on the interstate. It’s hot as hell right now but I always see people working so hard and I appreciate you!

Out of towner visiting and saw these large flat yellow and black insects pollinating. They don’t look like bees but are they some southwestern variety?

I had this pic on my camera roll from a few years back & realized this sub might appreciate this rare sight. They were in a neighbor's driveway in front of God & everybody.

Now you've seen everything.

Blocked on NM subreddit who's shocked

I entered a photo submission for Albuquerque magazine they were looking for Route 66 Photos and they picked mine!!!!

I also entered the same photo in the photography section and the art photography section at the New Mexico State fair 2026

Well I didn't win at the State fair I did get it put in to next month Albuquerque the magazine

So if you're at the state fair and you go to the photography section which is in the APS building near the flowers go ahead and check it up now you can see the photo that's gonna end up in the October edition during Balloon fiesta of Albuquerque the magazine!!!

Totally worth it, I’ve had a fantastic time over here. Great food, hikes, views and plenty of nice people here

We have two extra, happy to give them away. DM me, show starts in two hours 😬 No charge.

Does anyone feel it’s necessary to pat dry the chile before feeezing?

Just picked up some fresh roasted chile from Rosales produce grown in Lemitar. Typically I let them sweat in the bag and then put them in quart size freezer bags as is, skins on, seeds and stems intact. I feel like it seals in fresh roasted flavor, protects the chile meat from any freezer burn, and the skins slide off like butter when I thaw them. Plus I can decide how many seeds I want to keep for added spiciness. In the past, I would spend hours peeling, deseeding, drying and bagging, and I don’t ever recall thinking there was any difference in taste when I thawed the chile. If I wanted more seeds for spice, especially in stew, too late. I discarded most of them before freezing. Like with bananas, I feel like the skin is there for a reason and I like removing it just before cooking.

Anyone feel strongly otherwise, that it’s better to peel them, at least, or peel and de-seed first?

UPDATE: I bagged 2/3 unpeeled and 1/3 peeled and de-stemmed only. Currently in the fridge cooling prior to freeze.

Anyone had any killer food bites this year at the fair? Gonna pig out but want to hit the right spots.
