• Myths, Ghosts, And, This Window
  Ghost View south, Dec. 19, 2009 Three of the last four posts have involved this window. The view to the south. One block to Alameda Street, two more down Stevens and, voila, you’re at the bridge, then you’re in Juarez, then, if you keep going, you’re on the carretera to Ciudad Chihuahua, then Torreon, then Puebla [...] Related posts:My Window and Mi Compañer […]
• My Window and Mi Compañeros a Sur: Season’s Greetings!
  Guadalupe #41, El Paso – Dec. 18, 2009 This third floor window looks out onto the Cordova Bridge to Juarez, three blocks to the south. It’s the Season. Guadalupe, I will light you every night -and a string of Christmas lights too- for the rest of the holiday. If anyone in Juarez sees this, please wave [...] Related posts:A Warm Farewell I kiss you, SNOW! “Ra […]
• New Mexico Juke
  Las Cruces, NM/Dec. 14, 2009 Juke boxes. They’re  a “warm fuzzy,” no matter how you cut it. No? I just wanna dance. It’s the holidays. Time to dance. And stare at the wall (and the Web) and have luxurious long lunches (and personally enriching) with good friends, now, in the rush of my life, long overlooked. I’m in New Mexico and [...] Related posts:Chaparra […]

• Fuzz
  Alameda in Mist, December 2, 2009 The view south, across Alameda street, across the Chamizal, three blocks beyond, across the bridge, into Juarez, into Chihuahua, into Mexico, beyond. Usually the view is razor sharp. The last few days have fuzzed things up: snow, rain, and, now, this morning, fog. Been looking south across this razor sharp landscape for [... […]
• I kiss you, SNOW!
  El Puente Cordova, El Paso/Juarez, November 30, 2009 Snow! A rarity in this no-mans-land. Hardship. No one is ready for it. Not man nor beast nor domicile. The aftermath will be unnavigable mud on some of the streets in Juarez: there’s always a fire from people using heaters they’re not used to using;  tons of $14.95 coats will [...] Related posts:“Rats” in […]
