"HORREO" - a typical barn for storing cereals. Most of them are in Galicia and a little less in Spain. There are similar granaries in France, the British Isles, and Scandinavia. They are built of stone or wood, but must be raised from the ground, on poles. Thus, stored cereals are protected from rodents. Most often they have a rectangular and square shape. Ventilation is provided by slots in the walls. Written documents show that they date from the 13th century. The oldest one in existence dates back to the 15th century.

A tradition that has evolved in the family for thanksgiving when we gather at the old "home place" (armadillo ranch) is to smoke the turkeys in the BBQ pit. My son and two of my nephews each bring a turkey and roast/smoke them all day before the meal. Typically, one uses a traditional spice mix, one is BBQ flavored and the third is some exotic recipe that they have come up with.

One of my uncles was a psychiatrist. After his practice became successful, he bought a 427 '66 Sting Ray new. At some point, he had installed a spigot fitting in the upper radiator hose when I saw the car a few years later. I assume it did the job and gave him adjustability without having to worry about thermostat failure, but I never asked him about it. I didn't know much about cars at the time.

In New Spain of the latter 1600's, the Utes had the ability to capture and maintain horses. Their horses allowed for movement and hunting over much greater distances.
Around the same time, other Numic speaking people historically known as Comanches soon moved onto the landscape of the Great Plains.
The Comanches (Nummuhnuh) and their Ute kinfolk quickly began a strong relationship as fellow tribesmen. The Spanish authorities noted the ever-growing power of the Utes and their Comanche allies. It was also noticed that the raiders from the North had extreme confidence in their abilities to raid communities. The Comanches and the Utes battled for control of the land and soon expanded their territory.
In the early 1700's, the brethren tribes fought for excellent raiding and trading sites along the Rio Grande River. As both the Apache and Navajo were driven out, they sought help and protection from the Spanish. Over time, the Comanches had come to control the rich grasslands of the Southern Plains and the powerful Utes towered over northwestern New Mexico.
In the 1740's, traders in Navajo country observed that Navajos had to "live on the top of the mesas in little houses of stone. And that the reason for their living in those mountains is because the Yutas and Comanches make war upon them."

Nana (sp. Grandma) (~1810-1896) was a distinguished warchief of the Warm Springs Apache band of the Chiricahua Apache, and the brother-in-law of Geronimo. He got his first taste of battle in raids in Mexico, accompanying the famous chief Mangas Coloradas (see page highlights on Apaches for his biography). After the death of Mangas in 1863, a warrior named Victorio took over as chief of the Mimbres Apaches, another band of the Chiricahua. Together, the two chiefs would try to live peacefully in their homeland until they were forced to fight and defend their homes against the U.S. army's encroachment. Facing a war on two fronts, they had to fend off Texan trespassers, as well as the Mexican government, which put a very large bounty on Apache scalps. Victorio was killed in 1880 at the Battle of Tres Castillos by the Mexican army, so Nana took on the position of Chief and kept the guerilla resistance alive and well from the Sierra Madre mountains. The resistance would end with the surrender of Apaches in 1886, and Nana would die 10 years later of natural causes as a prisoner in Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The legendary chief is remembered for fighting alongside young men well into his 80s, even though he was half blind and had arthritis.

Umm, maybe white, for the cue ball?

I'm guessing it is a cue ball. Port side is even, starboard is odd numbers.
