This is the journey of a victim of felony fraud and embezzlement left homeless by builder, Robert M. Huckins who was given 27 years in jail,suspended,on the proviso he return $82,200, in $114 per week payments. Sometimes sad, sometimes pensive, sometimes with sarcastic humor, it chronicles the apathy within the New Mexico Judicial system and New Mexico State Government towards victims of white collar crime and the sheer audacity of the criminals who believe that the world owes them something.

Fix Or Repair Daily
F.O.R.D: Fix Or Repair Daily
Yesterday my Ford350 broke down while cruising down Sudderth. There is an almost surreal feeling when you see the entire dashboard go dead, registering no speed or temperature, and a few seconds later the motor shuts down in the middle of rush hour traffic.
It cost $85 to have it put on a tow truck and hauled to Mountain Tech Automotive and a $600+ repair bill to get it back on the road. Money doesn't seem to go as far as it used to go, but I feel blessed that it cost $700 and not $7,000.
I spoke to John Boyd who said that he was working on the single wide Saturday, Sunday and Monday - but quickly changed those plans and didn't know for sure .
I spoke to Jesse Gordiola this morning and he announced that he's going to Mexico for a week.
Praying that we can get a considerable amount of work done through the upcoming week-end.
The Ruidoso Racetrack dilemma is causing so much bitterness between those who want to vote for the additional tax, and those who don't that I am starting to wonder about man's inhumanity towards man.
It's so sad when a different opinion causes people to threaten, manipulate, step over boundaries that should never be crossed and I am starting to wonder about the Freedom of Speech that is so prized.
What happened to "agreeing to disagree" without the fear of reprisals?
Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it by the handle of anxiety, or by the handle of faith. ~Author Unknown
