What the hell managed to not only knock a heavy lead acid battery out of place, but also rip wires right out of a strong crimp?

I suppose if a deer or elk managed the get its leg tangled in the wires, somehow, but the one that was ripped out was *inside* the battery box.

I’m not sure a dog or coyote could manage it.

Pretty much leaves a bear? But no other evidence of a bear around… #NewMexico

Redondo Peak Last Friday

This old volcano is located within Valles Caldera National Preserve. Photo was taken ~6 miles (9km) to the west from an overlook in Santa Fe National Forest.

Video from today’s #SpeakersCorner in #SantaFe #NewMexico. Me, then two more members of #IndivisibleSantaFe exercising our constitutional rights to speak publicly, without government interference. @indivisibleteam 1/

I spent this morning operationalizing a Speakers’ Corner in #SantaFe #NewMexico (we’ll be doing the same next Saturday, https://indivisiblesantafe.org/a-speakers-corner/). I used some of my time to address how essential it is for every one of us to use every means at our disposal to say that what Trump is doing in #Chicago is unacceptable despotism. 4/

Good reporting on the legislative special session from Source #NewMexico. See especially the section on vaccine policy an area that illustrates the importance of keeping Democrats in control of the statehouse, as well as statewide executive branch offices (Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General). https://sourcenm.com/2025/10/02/thats-a-wrap-special-session-ends-with-new-vaccine-competency-health-care-laws/

For people in #NewMexico, there's also a local edition which includes US-based remote jobs plus hybrid/remote work opportunities within the state: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Qhgx5TeMDRDWWpjjtI8Ad-sVohTUtlT1MTfl1X6KQak/edit?usp=sharing
