Albuquerque Motorcycle Club
The former Albuquerque Motorcycle Club was built in 1938-1940. This SW Vernacular style house has a unique volcanic stone facade with vigas in front. The stone is purported to be from the volcanoes on the west mesa. The clubhouse was equipped with a nickolodeon and an oak dance floor.

In Celebration of Cottonwoods
I have been thinking a lot about the beautiful old cottonwoods in the ditch near my home. They won't be around much longer. This cottonwood likely had its beginning 60 years ago, the last time the Rio Grande Valley flooded. Not likely to be happening again anytime soon. Not that I want my home to be flooded, but when I'm seeing all that cottonwood fluff flying these days, I'm feeling a little sad that all this reproductive effort will come to nothing.
