Kiko

Hello, my name is Kiko and I am a friend of Indio Raven. I have been in deep sleep in the shop on a book shelf for 20 years. Si, it’s true I forget how I got there, I have a slight memory lost but I thing I use to live in San Antonio Texas.





Today I woke to the sounds Country music I think it was my old friend Willie Nelson, wow he has a radio show on this new thing they call satellite how cool is that, it called Willie's place.




Indio Raven is cool he let me hang-out and let move up stairs to his little apartment and I met new friends. Boy I have 20 years lost technology is too much to take in this days. First thing I did was take a bubble bath in the family washing machine that was fun!!






The rest of the day I just hug-out took in a sun bath. It was cool to see all the little different kinds of birds fly by. I could see a cage close by when the wind would blow, because I was swinging back and forth. I think there is Rabbit at this little rancho in San Elizario.



Today I met Puppy he still wears his Christmas outfit. Puppy said he also lived in San Antonio with a young lady named Amanda and moved to San Eli about five years ago around Christmas time, when Amada said he could go with Indio and some friends Roo , and Deputy Dog. Puppy said I will meet later because they are always riding around in a blue truck; they travel all over the place. Maybe they will let travel with them.

After a long day I sat down next to this little Mexican senior with a punch who must have been working in the backyard because he was tired and fell asleep on a chair with a his blanket. It's a nice blanket maybe he will let me barrow it someday. I'll be staying with Indioraven for a while and I may just go to San Antonio some day and reunite with the family I use to live with. I'll be posting some of my adventure here on this blog. Indio as I call him was kind enough to let me do this. If someone here recognizes me feel free to send us an e-mail, I am learning how to use this computer.

Thank You Kiko

AUSTIN -- The rumble of passing trucks has left the adobe-built Socorro Mission rectory cracked, crumbling and on a list of Texas' most endangered historic places. But the deacon of the parish said Wednesday that local money has been secured to begin restoration of the 1840s structure.
Preservation Texas released a list Wednesday that included the Socorro Mission rectory as one of 11 historic sites threatened by destruction or neglect. Also on the list are the Strand District on Galveston Island, which was damaged by Hurricane Ike in October, and the Governor's Mansion in Austin,

The exterior adobe walls of the Socorro Mission rectory are crumbling. which was torched by an arsonist last summer.
The rectory is behind the Socorro Mission, which was restored as part of a community initiative in 2005.
The adobe structure has not fared well next to nearby trucking traffic, said Troy Ainsworth, El Paso historical preservation officer. Ground disturbances caused by the traffic require stabilization work be done on the building, he said.
"In the northern part of Chihuahua, New Mexico and West Texas, I don't think there's another example of an adobe rectory that still stands," Ainsworth said. "It's pretty much the last of its kind in this area."
Ainsworth said that the rectory would not be in dire circumstances for a couple more years but that a delay would make restoration more costly.

Deacon William Reyes, the administrator of Socorro parish, said repairs to the exterior of the rectory will begin by the end of March, thanks to money from the Catholic Diocese of El Paso and the local community.
Reyes said that restoring the exterior of the building will cost about $75,000, but that no estimate has been made for interior repairs.
The Socorro mission complex, which includes the rectory, was originally established in the 17th century to minister to the nearby Piro Indians, and it was rebuilt twice after Rio Grande floods. The current structure was built by the diocese in the 1840s.
"We don't want that history to stop at our times," Reyes said. "We want the history to continue in the future so they can see how our ancestors used to live."

All My Relations

All My Relations by Ulali

To our Elders, who teach us of our creation and our past, so we my preserve mother earth for ancestors yet to come, we are the lands.

This is dedicated to our relatives before us thousands of years ago, and the 1,500 million who were exterminated across the western hemisphere in the first four hound years time starting in 1492.

To those who have kept their Home lands and to the nations exterminated due to mass-slaughter, slavery, deportation and decease unknown to them, and the ones who are subjected to the same treatment today.

To the ones who survived the relocations and the ones who died alone the way.

To those who carried on traditions and live strong among their people.

To those that left their communities by force or by choice, and for generations no longer know who they are.

To those who search and never find.

To those who turn away the so called non-accepted.

To those who bring us together and to those living outside keeping in touch, the voice for many.

To those who make it back to live and fight for the struggle of their people.

To those who give up and to those who don’t care.

To those who abuse themselves and others, and those who revive again?

To those who are physical, mentally, or spiritual and incapable by accident or birth.

To those who seek straight in our spirituality in ways of life and those that exploit it even our own.

To those who fall to the leis, and join dividing lines that keep us fighting among each other.

To the young, the old, the living and the dead.

T0 our brothers and sisters in all living things across mother earth and her beauty we have destroyed and denied the honor the creator has given each individual.

The truth that lies in our hearts, all my relations.
