  1. I pride myself on being able to forecast roadblocks, this one got me though. Pretty bummed.
  2. Not much graff here. Good amount of wheat paste and some stickers
  3. Second is the Loretto Chapel this chapel was built in 1878 and was the victim of poor planning. On the front face of the Bldg you can see where the first story ends and the second story begins. The second story is where the choir was supposed to sit and sing, the architect dropped the ball with figuring out how to get the choir up there. A standard staircase would take up most of the chapel interior, wasting precious space. The nuns prayed to Yahweh and a mysterious carpenter appeared. He constructed a helix staircase, with 33 steps (the number of years Jesus was alive) and their problem was solved. The nuns were so grateful they wanted to pay the mysterious carpenter but they couldn’t locate him. Legend is the carpenter built the staircase without any pay for material or services and the staircase was built with no nails or adhesives. He then disappeared. Legend says this mysterious character was saint Joseph, the patron saint for carpenters. It’s now a museum not a church. the handrail was added years later as a safety precaution and the wrought iron support attached to the column was added in the 1930s when cars began causing vibrations on the street outside. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loretto_Chapel
  4. Went to a couple cathedrals today Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi was built by a French priest who shipped in Italian masons to quarry and build. Everything before this was Adobe. The stained glass windows were shipped here from France and are beautiful but don’t photograph well at all. The interior was white washed at some point as part of the Vatican’s move to simplify things. Then was redone by local artists to be what you see now. The exterior doors show milestones in the city of Santa Fe. The one I took a photo of shows the Pueblo revolt of 1680 which is the only successful Native American revolt; they completely expelled the Spanish from the area for twelve years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_Basilica_of_St._Francis_of_Assisi_(Santa_Fe)
  5. working on the wide open skies. We are in the city center. From what I’ve seen not much cacti, a lot of low shrubbery, chaparral. Haven’t seen a single mariachi

  7. museum is reservations only because covid, and booked solid all week. No luck. One of the two things I wanted to do too. 😞
  8. How to track three time zones on one watch hour hand tracking local time (NM) : 7:50pm bezel rotated to home time (CA) : 6:50pm one hour behind gmt hand tracking third time zone (FL) : 21:50 two hours ahead some folk say the right way is to keep gmt hand on local time. But unless you are bouncing between time zones regularly, like a commercial pilot, the gmt hand would be redundant 99% of the time. 24 hour gmt hands were developed for use in places where you can’t use the sun to track which side of the 12 hour clock you are on - cave exploring and Arctic exploring. There were 24 hour wristwatches around before this for pilots (glycine) but not watches with both a normal hour hand and a gmt hand on the same face until the rolex explorer ii. Or so my understanding goes... Then later a gmt watch with rotating bezel was developed by rolex for PanAm pilots who frequently bounced between time zones called the rolex gmt master. This allowed them to track three time zones at once, like I’m showing here. a “true” gmt watch has a jumping hour hand. Meaning an hour hand that you can adjust independently from the minute hand. Moving the hour hand forward and back between time zones doesn’t affect the gmt, minute or second hands, they continue progressing. The minute hand and gmt hand are adjusted at the same time, together. Date is set by progressing hour hand 24 hrs around the face.
  9. You’re right. Prob just some booty ass white fool who wanted a ‘skins starter for the sake of it
