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.

$77,176.84
The $456.66 minimum restitution payment allowed to prevent Robert Huckins from being put in jail arrived this morning, leaving $77,176.84 of our building fund still owed. It's heartbreaking, simply heartbreaking.
As I looked at the money order all I could do was start crying.
A cold front has come in , dropping into the 20's during the night, getting no higher than the 50's during the day. I don't even know if it reached 50 yesterday. 50+ mph wind gusts is making today not very pleasant to work in.
The region is so dry no-one would be the least surprised if we didn't have another dangerous wildfire in the days ahead.
I have taken to entering any competition that may give me the funds to get a home, but my spirits are pretty low.
