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,

Maybe that is good for most lol. Life is for ever changing and we as the two-legged humans are the ones who must adapt the most, or should I say the ones that really need to learn how to adapt to daily changes. I been working on the inner me, health, and mental emotional setbacks. I started the month off with my daily workouts, then there was change and I had to focus on a few others, and this completely changed my world and my surroundings. Having to do things and care for others was not easy, but it is getting better day by day. I just need to be close by incase I am needed, no long bike rides for a few more weeks. I need to look at March and see where I can fit in a few workouts, might have to do them late at nights or extremely early in the morning as soon as I wake up, while others sleep. I need to continue the self-healing, and self-care as I continue to care and be there for others. I let a few projects on hold, such as the Radio Station and Pot cast. However, the one thing that I have been able to continue is listening and discovering new Music and adding new songs to my collection of music. The goal for March is to try and develop the Pot Cast and Incorporated in the old Indio Raven Blog Web Site which should be updated in the coming days. So, stay tuned as I am still working on life management skills and Balancing my life. I know it seem like I am burying this last update at the end, but I did, and I am still struggling with choices made. However, on a last-minute call I did Sign up for two more years as an elected official and City Representative. In the middle of life changes and Family crisis I did this not in spurt but in prayer and deep thought. I just need to slow down the next few weeks. Did I say slow down, yeah, I just added a few projects to the month of March, but it is all good, because it is all part of healing. Thank you to all that read this far down, and who continue to support and help me with self-healing and in life in general. By the way I am still not ready to go out in public or to visit others yet, I need to stay grounded for a bit longer to take care of Family and the home front. That is all! I am okay physically and but emotionally and mentally I am still working on myself.

relate and have come to be. If you go back to my post from 2011, some major events took place that I will re-introduce as references to the year. You can always go back and read those full post for more refection. </i></div>

<i>January started with a few unknowns for what was to come my way, as you recall I was looking into the opportunity to bring more cyclist to San Elizario via the ACA Southern Tier Rout. The relationship with Christina and Maya Sanchez was getting better and close nit, where we would spend more time going over ideas to help with the Historical district. This would be year 2 of my own training for long bicycle ride in 2015. Well as you can see by now part of our work at the city now has been to continue to work on those plans at a bigger level. </i></div>

Morning, it’s cold outside, having coffee and getting ready for an early
morning Sunday Bicycle ride to Clint to attend a Memorial Mass for (+) Rogelio
Vargas Sr. I will ride in his memory; I use to see him (my Tio Roy)
almost every Sunday outside the church when I rode to Clint. We always had a

school just got more confusing. I don’t have a course this semester, but I will
still be busy preparing for an Education Comprehensive Exam in June 2011, and

what I will have to do, so I can finally Graduate in Summer 2011. Hope I can

Looks
like I will not go to Red Paint Powwow in Silver City, NM this year, instead I
will have to attend a Comprehension Exam Work Shop in Portales, NM in February,
I’m investing my traveling cash into my education lol. However, I might still
take a trip to Silver City, NM in spring, maybe a bike ride from Deming, New
Mexico to the City of Rocks and into Silver City.</div>

How
ironic and cool is this, I was just watching The Cult on In sessions, A few
years ago me and Big John Fernandez use to listen to the Cult every time we
were getting ready to go along Harley Run. Today I will ride a Bicycle with

Day
9. We're in Van Horn, Texas. Found a nice hotel and had dinner at the El
Capitan. Very good and filling. I rode 130 miles today for a total of 1,015
miles in 9 days. We met David Cantu of El Paso and he rode with me for nearly
10 miles. What a nice guy! I had a strong tail wind for most of the ride and
was flying down I-10! Yep. You can ride your bike on the Interstate in Texas.
Tomorrow we head for Del Rio, Texas.</div>

gears they were not working, I had not used them after I came back from Silver
City and they became stuck due to dust, moisture (rain) & heat. I clean
them and they were working last night. I will test them out today and try to
remember to use them often, maybe I had to find some hills to climb, San Eli,
Clint and Socorro are flat. </span></div>

Rebote Bar, down the ditch to the Licon's little zoo, and back out to
Glorietta. The cotton fields are starting to bloom; I also saw a few ducks, and
some white cranes. I still need to fine tune the gears by making a few adjustments,

the cases or go home and work on the assignment I can use a distraction right
now. </span><br />

could have different results as I read them I Am thinking to myself. What were
these teachers thinking? Professor: “Use examples/evidence from Essex, the
PowerPoint, audio conversations and legal terms…I am looking for some
legal/judicial reasoning on your part.” Guess what, there was no power point
due to technical issues on the professor’s part. Think I had better go home and
work from there, because I am getting nowhere. This is due on Wednesday so I can
take some time to think about my answer. </span></span><br />

my 'School Law' Course. This course is getting more difficult and challenging as
we proceed. So much to learn my hat goes off to those who are working as
principals and administrators of education programs. School law is very
difficult to understand. I will take a day to review what I am learning and
proceed with the next assignment with an open mind.</span></div>

now as Mayor Sanchez and Alderperson Cantu. Background to the above conversation,
see back in 2010 Maya, Chistina (Perez) and I were trying to work out plans for
the Historic District and Mission Trail here in San Elizario, at the time unincorporated.
They were working on arts, culture, and history while I was looking at bringing
in cross county raveling cyclist to the area. I had found out that there was a
bike rout that goes not to far here called the ACA southern tier. Yes, I was
already working on a plan back in 2010. The irony is that at that time neither
Maya or I would have thought about politics, never the less run for office. That
all changed in 2013-2014. You can read more about that story in an earlier post
in my blog. Christina had moved back to Dallas by 2013 otherwise she would have
been part of all he change in San Elizario. Look at us now moving forward with
our plan yes, but at a bigger level and much more support.) </i></span></div>

working outside digging up tree stumps, about 2:30 pm my little niece Grace

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">Yes, it's me again. Well,
if you are reading this post I want to say thank you for reading and following
my life, my world. It's been a long time that I have not posted or updated. As
life gets more and more </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">complicated,
I find</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> myself </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">distracted</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> very </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">easily.
This year I plan to get back on track with monthly post, even if they are short
stories or reviews like the one below. See, I am in the process of cleaning
up the clutter from</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Facebook.
So I will be revisiting my post there and revising my writing. I still need to
practice and work on those writing skills, now that I am an elected </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">official I must write at a different level. It
feels like I will forever be in grad school. Education is a life long
learning process, and by using all the reading and writing skills we should
have learned in school, we become better students and educators. So enjoy the
short look back in my life and my thoughts for the year 2009. Oh yes, I often have
the same thoughts and feel the same about some personal issues. However, I
always work them out. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The last few weeks have been difficult, too many
things going on in my life. Trying to keep everything in prospective and
listening to others advice sometimes makes thing more confusing. Lately I have
found myself doing more that I can or should handle, leaving less time for me
and to enjoy the things I like and need to do for myself. I know I often say
that my work for the city or my involvement with the city takes up my time and
it feels like grad-school all over. Unlike
grad-school, though, is that there are no set curriculum or courses in the real
world. This is more of daily lessons and
try to get as much done in one day as possible, multitasking projects, meetings
and public demands can drive me to a state of confusion. I often have to stop and ask myself what am I
doing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This weekend I spend a few hours (Late nights)
cleaning out the dust and clutter in the garage/workshop. As I was doing this. I kept thinking, if only
it was this easy to clean up the clutter in my life, those things that set me
back. Scale back on what I do for others and learn how to get back my balance.
As I was doing this, in a sense, I have been cleaning out some negativity in my
life. This past month I have refocused my
energy into my love for dancing. Yes, my dancing sisters, Cindy, Liz, Joyce and
I are establishing a new dance group.
Our love and passion for dancing is
something that nobody can understand or take away from us. These last few weeks we have been concentrating
on an invitation we got to open a ceremony with a prayer. Our way to pray is though
dance. We were asked to bless the grounds of a Sun Dance in a secret place this
Tuesday. By doing this, I have been able to cleanse my mind and body a little
bit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As I move forward with my life, I need to focus on
what is important to me. What makes me happy? Yet, I must continue to follow my
heart and spiritual beliefs, heritage and culture. I must not forget who I am and here I come
from. One thing I do know is that I am not a politician and must not fall into
those types of games politicians play. I
have been criticized for my mannerisms,
for not being aggressive and demanding. Well, that’s just the way I am, (self reserved),
keeping to myself as much as I can. Speaking only when I need to, and
when I do most people either listen or try to make it an argument or
debate. Yet a few other choose not to
listen and demand more from me. Some things are beyond my control and people
need to understand this. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As I was saying, this weekend I have been searching
for answers and as I get ready to refocus my energy in prayer this week, I will
leave some prayers at the sacred grounds, prayers for hope, peace and
understanding. Asking my creator for guidance and help to clear out some of the
clutter in my life and help me get rid of the negative forces that try to enter
into my life and surroundings. Today, as I opened my email I read the
following: </span></div>

a few choices others might not understand, but I need to move forward. I will paraphrase
the above statement and use my own thoughts and well, separating thought with parenthesis, only because the statement will
help me in my attempts to make a point,
for those who either criticize or have high expectation from me, as to what I
should be doing as a person and a leading in the community. There is only so
much I can do and people need to learn to do for themselves and start taking
action. Stop criticizing and complaining, get up and do something. When they hit a brick wall, then they will understand where
I come from and why I do what I do. Why I say “it’s out of my control”. But
like others I don’t give up, I simply look for other alternatives and move on.

<br />
Update: Well it's been over a years or so since the last update. I find myself wanting to update often however, I always find myself distracted when I start to write. The last year has been a busy one with all the work required to start a City. ( <a href="http://cityofsanelizario.com/" target="_blank">http://cityofsanelizario.com)</a> It;s been a slow start and it requires many hours of research and self education as what can and can't be done. This has been all hands on education learning as we go and making a few mistakes along the way. I am trying to do my best to be a model politician (I hate to call myself a political leader). I am not a politician, in fact politics have never been in my best interest. However, I find that when you have a cause or something you believe and want to save or make positive changes, you have to deal with politics and Red Tape.<br />

Today I am taking some time away from my busy life and so called political work, to sit back and reflect and clear my mind, kind of a distress day. Some people would call it a lazy day. Lately my days are really unpredictable. During the school year I am still working as a substitute teacher. I have been having thoughts of maybe changing careers just so I can have a regular paying job. But then I ask myself "do i really want to go back to working on a job just to get a pay check and be unhappy?" I do enjoy working with young students. However, I am limited to what I can teach and how much I can help them learn and prepare for the future. Some-days I think of opening up a school for Career and Education Course Work, a program to help high school and young adults get ready for either the work place or continue their education. I have a degree that is hard to use, or should i say it's difficult to get a job where I can use my degree and skills. The education system in the USA lacks something and there still seems to be a big emphasis on standardization. That's one option I keep open, start a youth program here in San Elizario someday. For now I am going to keep working hard to finish building the City from ground up and make sure we do the best we can to help everyone, with out making to many enemies.<br />
<br />
This update is turning out to be a bit different then what I was intending it to be. But as I sit here and write new thoughts enter my mind. I am trying not to ramble or vent. I was going to look back at the years via my Facebook post, but I realized I need some time to go back and read though my post and my blog so as not to repeat myself. I still plan to do this and transfer many thoughts from Facebook here as time passes. Over the years I have written down my thoughts on Facebook and I would like to share them here. I have also written many papers for my course work at WNMU and ENMU that I want to go back and share here. Those would be my thoughts on the education system over the years. I think this will help me reflect and review my notes and see if I feel any different. <br />
<br />
A few other updates and post I will be working on are based on my cycling experiences. Yes I have continued to cycle more and I just took a 300 mile ride through West Texas. I will go back and share my thoughts from day to day and many photos that I took. I have also started a Camp site for traveling cyclist. .<a class="ext" href="https://www.facebook.com/Overnightcamping" style="background-color: white; color: #40be59; font-family: Asap, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18.003999710083px;" target="_blank" title="https://www.facebook.com/Overnightcamping">https://www.facebook.com/Overnightcamping</a> I have hosted a few cyclist traveling through Texas. This has been a very educational experience. Just meeting them and listening to their stories and adventures on the road is a reward in itself. I met a couple from Canada and one from Britain and many others from across the USA.<br />

Hello. I just want to bring you all up to date, as to why I
have not been writing in the last few months. As most of you, who have been
following my blog know, I only tend to
write when I have a few things to share. This last year, (2013) was a busy
year. I became an active member of the San Elizario Incorporations Efforts
Group, because the citizens of our town of San Elizario, Texas, were endangered
of being annexed by the neighboring City of Socorro Texas. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/San-Elizario-Incorporation-Efforts-Group/469749756426494" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pages/San-Elizario-Incorporation-Efforts-Group/469749756426494 </a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This issue was first
made public back in January of 2013. The group was formed in February 2013, to
fight off the annexation. Little did we, as a group of concerned citizens of
San Elizario, know that we were up against
a corrupt City Government of Socorro. Needless to say, we had a long hard
battle ahead of us. However, we had support
from the surrounding communities and governments to include the County of El
Paso, City of El Paso, our State
Representatives in Austin, and many
concerned citizens of Socorro, who step up and made a stand against the
annexation. I would like to refrain from all the negative connotations
and political aspects of this battle and focus more on the outcome. I am sure
you all can look up all the information and media coverage on line via the El
Paso Times, and surrounding local television stations in the El Paso area. Our
efforts led to the only option to save our Historic Community, would be to
incorporate and become a City. An option that most of us, in the group, had
never considered in the pass. However, with
this new threat we as concerned citizens felt we had no choice. This would allow the citizens of San Elizario to have a
voice about what improvements and infrastructure could be brought forth to a
new city government. </div>

Our efforts also
required a trip to the state capital in Austin to seek support from our representatives,
and request from the State Government, to allow the Citizens of San Elizario to
become incorporated into an independent city. As a member of the San Elizario Incorporations
Effoerts Group (SEIEG), I learned a lot about how government works. I also
learned new and interesting information about our historic community, a few things I was unaware about, having grown
up in San Elizario. Our efforts lead to members of SEIEG meeting with other citizens
of San Elizario, and educating them about the incorporation. The biggest challenge
was trying to explain the differences between annexation by another city and
the Incorporation, becoming an independent city. This included countless hours
of Block Walking, public meetings, and fundraising efforts to help pay for the
incorporation process. </div>

Our efforts paid off in November, when a large number of
citizens came out to Vote, the results showed that 90% of the voters were in
favor of the incorporation. A little more the 600 voters came out to show
support, as I understand this was the height voter turnout in the history of
the local elections for San Elizario, in El Paso County.</div>

With this historical event, members of SEIEG
realized that the work was not over, now we had to determine: Who would be the leaders
of the community? Who would start the New City? Who would be the first City Government,
the Mayor and Five Alderpersons? Of course we had a lot of citizens who
approached us as a group to select members of SEIEG to run for office, keep in
mind that many of us had never been involved in politics at all. As a result of our efforts, we also accumulated
a few bills for legal advice and a large bill for creating a City Map as required
by both the County of El Paso and The State of Texas under Type A Maniciplaty City.
In the following months of December 2013, January, Febuary, March and April of
2014, the group SEIEG continued to conduct fundraising events to pay off those bills.
All members of SEIEG agreed to make every effort to pay off all outstanding
bills before the New City Government was in Office. We as a group did not want
the City of San Elizario to take over any outstanding debts. The
group has also decided to stay active and become a ‘watch-dog” group, to
continue to support and work with both the citizens and the City Government of
San Elizario to ensure all the citizens continue to have a voice. As a result of all the hard work in one year
period of time to stop the annexation and become incorporated as a City, six
members of the group “put our names in the hat”, as they say. Yes, six members include
myself are now running to get elected into the New City Government, to make
sure the city starts out in a positive light.</div>

us, that San Elizario can become a model city without making drastic changes to
the community, bring about much needed improvements, and preserve the history
of San Elizario dating back over 400 years. (To be continued)</div>

Stanton TX.
<b>Day one Friday Dec. 13, 2013:</b>
We arrive to a warm welcome to St Josephs Church Hall, where the Guadalupanos are waiting for us as we come here to join them in their celebration of the Virgin de Guadalupe. We were invited to come dance for them at this event. As we walked into the hall we were welcomed with open arms and a table filled with food, hot coffee, and other goodies. “Welcome and make yourself at home” those words set me at peace and comfort. Our host had good above and beyond their way to make sure we felt at home. We ate, stayed up and engaged in good conversation as we waited of other members of our Dancers to arrive, as they made their way to Stanton from Fabens TX. Needless to say that this was a very powerful meaningful night and I was blessed to have met such good people.
<b>Day two Saturday Dec 14, 2013:</b>
There is nothing like waking up to the smell of fresh coffee and bacon cooking. Yes our host showed up early to cook breakfast early in the morning to get the day started. As we sat down to enjoy some bacon and eggs a few other ladies showed up with fresh tamales for us. Once again feeling blessed and overwhelmed with love I kept thinking this is like being in Isleta Publo NM or at one of my family's houses. After we had our share of tamales it was time to get ready for the mass and procession after the mass. The procession is always nice to do especially when there is no traffic, and here in Stanton there was no traffic it was very peaceful and quite. This reminded of Clint and San Elizario 30 years when I was a young child and there were less people living there.
After a small procession around the block we dance in front of the hall. We got good feedback and praise from all the locals who and come out for this event. We danced hard and strong sending out our prayers for about 2 hrs, before we took a small break for lunch. Like many other placed we danced this pass month they served us Menudo. However, this menudo was made with love and kindness that it teased very good. This litter break allowed us to spend time with some of the locals to talk and just get some rest before we were to dance again. Needless to say we dance on and off all day, finally finishing at about 8:00 pm. When we were done our host invited us to go have dinner in Midland TX. Once again our host went beyond the call of service and they surprised us by taking care of our bill. We had truly been blessed with good people on this day.

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Today I woke up early thinking that this was one of
the best road trip in a long time. I count my blessing and thank the creator
for allowing me to have such a wonderful and blessed weekend. I ask the creator
and the Virgin to watch over our host and this community as they continue to do
the Lords work. As I was reflecting back on the last two days, I had sat down
and write my thoughts before I forget. Someone told me I should write stuff
down as it comes to me, and for the first time in a long time I have just done
that. Now it’s time to pack up and head back home. Life is a true blessing and
have been very very good to me so far!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Just a quick update:
I know it's been a long time I wrote on here. I had been busy with Graduate School. Here the latest on that chapter of my life, I have finally finished Dec 2012 with a <i>Master's Degree in Professional Technical Education.<b></b></i> While it has been a busy and time consuming part of my life, I did manage to keep active in my cycling progress. For now I will continue to do my best to write something on here at least once a month. This new format will take some to get get used to, but I will do my best.
From time to time I will also post some of my writing assignments about education as well as personal journal entries from my educational course work. I will also do my best to post monthly bicycle adventures and random thoughts. For now feel fee to review the past post. I will continue to enjoy the nice winter weather for the next few day.
Your feed back is greatly appreciated!!
Thank You

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By IndioRaven</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello again it’s been a few months since my last Blog, I been busy for the last few month in Fall I spend most of my time dedicated to my Studies at Easter New Mexico University and doing some work at home on the yard. In December and January I spend my days digging out old tree trunks and pruning trees which resulted in lots of fire wood that I shared with Family and Friends. (Photos to be posted on a future update.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This update will be a photogenic one, as I will share with a little bicycle ride I took on Sunday February 13, 2011 that lead me to The El Paso Rio Bosque Wetland park. These wetlands have always been there but like many other natural sites it had been abused and has not been well taken care of up until recent years. I like many people who live in the area had never been there before. I have know of this place for years but never got around to going there because I recall the park was gated up a long time ago and recently rediscover the park was once again open and made accessible to the public. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have also tried to locate information via the internet and Google about the park as most of you will be able to do if you are interested and have time. I usually don’t endorse any web-pages unless I feel strong about them, so I will not post a bunch of links on here, however I will share a few that I found, one is from UTEP which is one of those entities that is doing their best to preserve the park and provide education for the public.

I knew the trees and other plants would be dormant and I was not sure how much water would be at the wetlands because many years ago the river had shifted. The government has also had their hands on the river bead and levees have been changed. There is now a border fence to consider that changed the accrual wetlands geography. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The photos I took are not the best quality of photos, but I am sure if you search the internet you will find some real good and unique photos of the different wild life that can be seen at the park throughout the year. Keep in mind that I was there in the middle of winter so there were no green plants that I could see. Also most wildlife will not let you take their photos. There is an old Native American Saying that any wild animal will come to you when they want you to see them, this said when you going hunting as well. Although the birds and other wildlife were there only a few came out to greet me, and a few Hawks kept their distances, but it appeared that they were keeping an eye on me. </span><br />

<br />
The Rio Bosque Wetlands Park is about 372 acres in El Paso County. “Wetlands and riverside forests once graced the banks of the Rio Grande in the Paso del Norte region. They were the most productive natural habitats in the region, but today they are virtually gone” (UTEP, <a href="http://research.utep.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=65792">http://research.utep.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=65792</a>) The park is actually located in the town of Socorro Taxes southeast of down town El Paso, access to the park is vary restricted and difficult if you are not given specific instructions. Since I was on my bicycle I had to find an easy way to get there without having to go to a major freeway and some busy road. I took the rout of the El Paso Mission Valley in Socorro where I found some side roads that lead to the Bosque after my visit I discover an easy and fast way to access the park via a bicycle or on foot, it’s just short walk from Cougar Park in Socorro. I plan to revisit that park again in the spring, summer, and fall or this year, hopefully I will be able to take better photos that show the park’s beauty when it’s green and has more water. <br />

I have been busy trying to get back to a regular schedule that allows time for school, yard work, workouts, and personal time to write down my thoughts. July I was still vary busy with two graduate-school courses and spending many hours at the library reading and doing research it seem like I did not have time of other activities. I did my best to keep documentation of my activities in July here are some exerts via face book. <br />

Check out the 2.46 mi run I did with RunKeeper. I had a nice run to the border today cloudy and cool. I also listened to <em><strong>Young Gray Horse Society</strong></em>, as I was running kept me motivated and going at a nice pace. <br />

On this day I went on a 9.05 mi bike ride- It was a nice pace, quite morning. I had nice ride because not too many people were out and about today, very little traffic makes for a safer ride, only a few fireworks stands open this early for been the fourth, but that’s good because I like it when it’s quit. .<br />

<span style="color: #20124d;"><strong>The fourth of July is just like any other day for me. I do not celebrate the independence day of the United States, instead I take to reflect and thing about my ancestors and say a few prayers. This year I had a few choices to make, but I could not let my good friend <em>Christine Sanchez</em> down. You see she had a fireworks stand a few blocks away from my house and she needed my help with a few things such as trash, food, and just to keep her company when things were slow. She had to spend 4 days at the stand with some help, but it can get lonely and slow some days. When I was there on the fourth I did help her with some customers and a few sales, but I did not enjoy that process and made my way back out of the stand and stood back and her and her helpers do the sales, I did help with inventory and give them the fireworks form the shelves a few times. What an experience, I could never do this on regular bases, but <em>Christine</em> did ask me, and I could never say no to her. She is a member of the Danza and an extended family member. </strong></span><br />

On this day I went on a 2.44 mi run - Today's run to the border was quit, I saw to ducks water skiing, <span style="color: #20124d;"><strong>two</strong></span> little dogs drag racing , the sun rays shining through the clouds to the east mountains (over Horizon Tx). On the way back Priscilla’s dogs ran and barked along the fence have not seen them do that in a while.<br />

<strong><span style="color: #20124d;"><strong><span style="color: #20124d;">FYI: When I run to the river I can see Mexico to the west and when I face east, I can see the sunrise and I say a few prayers. <em>Priscilla </em>is my neighbor and good family friend that lives across the street from my little house. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She has a few rescue dogs that grow-up fast and they like to greet me with barks every time they see me. Somedays when I get home they will bark at me as I back up my truck in the drive and get down after I have parked my truck. When I pass by her house on my run, the does will bark and follow me along the chain link fence. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think they want to motivate me or just what to be friendly, well whatever their motive, I like it when they do that. Show them no fear is all I do just teas then and play their game. </span></strong></span></strong><br />

This morning there was very little traffic, it was quit. I did have to wait for the trains in Clint for about five minutes, but it was cool. So I was gone for about a hour, total riding time. Now I can relax, get some Menudo and work on my papers for my courses, hope I don't have Internet issues today.</div><br />

</span></strong><strong><span style="background: white; color: #20124d;">Running to the river weekly is nice, because you never know what you will see. There are cotton fields to one side and house to the other. I run down an irrigation canals that meets with the Rio Grande, that’s the river between Mexico and Texas. The peacock belongs to one of the families that live along the canal and it is very beautiful, I did not have a camera with me on this day. </span></strong><br />

<strong>Wow, the day got better: As I was at the libarary studying for my courses, some ex-students from my days as a substitute in the <em>Clint ISD</em>, and some from <em>San Elizario High School</em>, where I did practice teaching have come up to say hello today. They are now attending <em>EPCC</em>. One young lady is working on <em>Bachelorettes in Business Management</em>. They are just coming up to say help and offer nice words of encouragement. This makes me feel good to see young students working hard to educated themselves and encoureage others. </strong><br />

This summer I was super busy with two graduate courses for my master's degree, doing some work on the yard (getting ready for a family reunion in September). I will try and update what has happened over the summer. I have become a big fan of facebook. I will update june via facebook post: <br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> (10:24 am)Hey San Antonio Facebook Family, it's that time for me to go back to San Eli, and get in a day of yard work and irrigate on Saturday, I will start summer school on Monday. It was nice see all my family this week, if we missed each other there is always next year. Or you all can always drive to San Eli for a weekend of fun in the sun.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">(5:22pm) Just had some French fires with a few crows, about 25 miles, west of Fort Stockton. They said they would show me how to crow-hop for some fries. Dancing lessons are over time to get back on 1-10, about 200 miles away from San Eli.</div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">(8:52pm) I finally made it to San Eli about 30 minutes ago, still unloading the truck and need to find something to eat. (Or go find somewhere to eat).</div><br />
June 5, 2010:<br />
<br />
(5:29am) Maybe being gone for over ten days was somewhat not a good idea, Looks like June will be super busy with yard work, cleaning irrigation ditch banks, the garden, school,fix guitars, finish a song, and yes work on dance regalia somehow get that all in. Just opened the flood gates today I'll start with irrigation and see where the day takes me.<br />

(7:01am) Sunday Morning, Just had coffee and getting ready for a Bike Ride, Today's destination Clint Tx. via Socorro Tx. and a stop @ the flee-market. Maybe I will get to Clint in time for Menudo at the church hall, and then back home I’ll try and post a map, with mileage when I get back.<br />
<br />
(10:50am) I just had a nice little ride 10 miles. Wow! It took me 3 hrs only because I made a few stops at flea-market and in Clint to Visits a Friend and had Menduo at the Clint Church hall where I saw my Tia Frances Vargas. <br />

(7:59am) Today run not to bad, maybe I should start earlier before the sun comes up. This morning I saw some men working in the cotton fields (killing weeds). I thought about my Grandfather Manual Soto, because he worked the same fields in the 1940-1960s, before I was born.My RunKeeper Activity <br />

(9:42am) Check out the 9.42 mi bike ride I did with RunKeeper - It went very good nice pace. When I got to Clint I took a ride through the old childhood playmates houses, and on the way back to San Eli I saw a man fishing with a pitch-fork on Hansend Dr. and FM Rd 1110. That brought some more childhood memories.atD Can2 aka indioravenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17094996738240363127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953627268033398455.post-51146230192356112452010-07-18T22:42:00.004-06:002010-07-19T00:07:19.541-06:00Old San Eli - Old West!<a href="http://oldsaneli.com/">Old San Eli - Old West!</a><br />

Hello again,<br />
<br />
I know it’s been a few months scene the last post. As you see I have added a few things to the side bar and at the bottom of the blog, this are just a few things I am still learning about and working on. <br />
<br />
I been busy with school this last month, my graduate courses this semester require more reading then in the past. Not only reading text book and other literary works, but as one of my professor would say reading the world. This semester I have been challenged to read and try an understand Paulo Freire’s philosophy on Pedagogy. If anyone of you have read Freire’s work you would understand my struggles. But I will not boar you with details, just understand if you do not see me around I am at the library trying to make sense of my reading. <br />
<br />
This month I am just posting a few updates on other matters and my work at home while I did have a winter break. Well the weather in the last few months has been wet, some snow and rain, and this has put a delay on some work. For those of you whodo not know, this year the Family Soto, that’s my maternal family, is planning a family reunion. This will be the first reunion for the family and things are looking good. My dad and I offered the family to have the reunion in our back yard. Yes we have a big yard and we have been planning to build a pavilion with an outdoor kitchen for some years. <br />
<br />
<br />

This past Dec and January I worked on an old wood burning stove. It has some family history from a distant relative on my Grandfathers’ Manuel R. Soto. The stoves belong to the Rivera Family down the street, where they got it and how long it’s been in the family is unknown. A good research project I think some day I will ask questions. I build a platform for the stove. As you can see I still need the smoke stack and tile on the floor and walls, but it’s a start. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This year we set a goal to have the pavilion ready for the reunion. But the weather is not helping us and my studies are also require more of my spare time. This means less time to work on our projects. Now it’s February and its time to start preparing the garden for planting and cleaning up the irrigation canals for the first irrigation day in March. This means I must find a way to get this all done and still have time for other activities such as tennis and just plain having fun. Although working in the yard, building, and gardening are fun things to do in themselves. <br />

As you can see in order to build something new, some things had to be removed. First we had to trim down some trees that had too many dead branches. The two trees on the upper right are right where we plan to build the pavilion, you can see we have some poles there ready. Before we start it's better to remove the tree's otherwise they could fall with age and destroy our work. Trimming trees equals fire wood so nothing goes to waist and is recycled. <br />

But a lot of stuff was too far gone damaged by water and age so it went to the land field. This footing on the left will become a wall to help keep water and dirt outside. This new storage area is on the side of the garage. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">In January I returned to Silver City for the red paint powwow. I got to see some old friends and meet new people. I did go there to gourd dance again. I will post more information on the red paint powwow in the coming days. <a href="http://www.redpaintpowwow.net/about.html">http://www.redpaintpowwow.net/about.html</a> </div><br />
<br />
I had a blast is Silver City NM, I have been blessed and Honored to have had a chance to spend some time talking with good people, decedents of the Chiefs Mangas Coloradas and Victorio. Silver City had snow that week and then again over the weekend I was there, but that did not stop the powwow. I did not take many photos because I respect the regalia and indigenous people. I only took a few from a distance. <br />

For now I am just going to post some of the stuff I did get to work on in January before I started my semester. I will do my best to update this blog monthly, I have been using Facebook more to keep in touch and I am now administering to Family Web Pages on MyFamily.con. With my graduate work and keeping the WebPages up to date I am very busy as you can see. <br />
<br />
Until next time , may you all continue to walk in peace. <br />
