One of the fun things about my job is that folks expect the local chamber of commerce to know everything. Including, very frequently, local history. That might include someone trying to figure out where great-grandpa's homestead was or where the business granddad started in the 1930s might have been located. I get a lot of calls from confused people who have an old Portales address that dated before all the street names got a change. They'll get to looking at present day maps...

Alpacas can show you just how gentle a relative of llamas and camels whose heads come up to a six-foot-tall person's shoulders can be. If you found yourself surrounded by them as they follow their owner and the food buckets, you would not be afraid of them. You can stroke the wool on their necks, but they'd rather you didn't. They tolerate human presence with what seems to be cheerful curiosity. Their wool makes soft, warm clothes, blankets and even rugs. The alpacas' owner,...

Briefly last week I thought I might have an identity crisis, but it turns out I’m just becoming more unique. The man on the radio asked me if I’d ever searched my name on the internet and if I needed to repair what’s out there. So naturally, with the World Wide Web as close as my cell phone, I did as I was told. It seems the most popular Karl Terry out there seems to be an old dude at least 20 years my senior who is a long-time rock and roll singer in Liverpool, Engla...

Recently I managed to combine two pieces of heirloom jewelry and I’ve gone back to wearing a wristwatch again. Nearly 20 years ago my wife bought me a nice Bulova watch with both yellow and white gold accents and a rim around the crystal with tiny diamonds. Very classy and I wore it all the time until the clasp on the band quit closing and the watch repairman I went to school with moved off to Santa Fe. Recently some of my late dad’s jewelry came out of the safe and I was aske...

A little more than a year ago, Ben Salazar of Clovis had a major medical setback and a revelation. Salazar -- long a Clovis-based constituent advocate for U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, D-New Mexico, and currently for U.S Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez – joined a different constituency for which he now advocates with enthusiasm, the disabled. He walks with the aid of a cane, sometimes with a walker, and a prosthetic rod replaces part of his left leg below the knee and his left foot a...
I’ve never been squeamish at the sight of blood, but the Good Lord has been testing me out on that claim to fame lately. I’ve never had stitches other than for my appendectomy when I was in high school. That didn’t go so well, as I developed an abscess below the surgery incision and had grown something about grapefruit size on my tummy by the time we went to the doctor to see about it. He took matters into his own hands or more precisely a scalpel and opened up the incis...

Country life is hard, rough and tumble, then Youtube bans your channel. My latest binge-watch on Youtube was about a ranching family with like nine children from age 16 down to 2. The ranch house was something like 17 miles off the pavement and the ranch itself was bordered with or nearby the famed Area 51 where the government is supposedly hiding alien beings and testing alien aircraft and the like. At the turnoff to the ranch was a famed “black mailbox” where Area 51 fan...

I’ve been to a lot of places but I’ve never been in Cahoots. Apparently you can’t go alone, you have to be in Cahoots with someone. I’ve also never been in Cognito either. I hear no one recognizes you there. I have been in Sane. They don’t have an airport, you have to be driven there. I have made several trips. I know, I know, that’s an old Facebook groaner there but it describes just about how lost folks get these days without a map. I had a good friend drift through the...
