David Nelson

Goodbye, Wolfgang the dachshund good boy. He left peacefully this morning at the vet. He was 13. Ten days ago his heart worsened into acute heart failure & IVDD kicked in, & despite all efforts it became time. It had been downhill since his sister passed in October. 🐶😭

@NWSAlbuquerque Thanks, I suspected something hinky. I was checking each :52 update that afternoon & never saw any 90. Guess that’s why there’s no 6-hour highs/lows either!

@DavidNelsonNM The ASOS at the Sunport has been having issues with its data. We have made sure to continue accurate observations until the issues can be fixed. As a result, the data on the 3 Day History may not be fully representative of the conditions as it comes directly from the ASOS.

We have officially hit 90°F at the ABQ Sunport so far. This is now the earliest date for ABQ to hit 90°F. The previous record was May 3rd which had occurred in both 1943 and 1947. #NMwx

@GeoffGrammer Finding decent hats in your size must be terribly difficult. 🤠

The Howlraisers student section have a bunch of Fatheads going at halftime... And one real sized cut out of my head.

@Zazochi Old joke: I sent myself an angry letter, and received a defiant reply.

@GeoffGrammer You must be in the FRONT row … and Bob Uecker is jealous.

We have a winner of everyone's favorite game, #WheresGeoffGrammer? (travel editition)

@shantr0n So how are the karaoke acoustics in that room? 🎤🎶😄

@GeoffGrammer They say money can’t buy you happiness, but to be completely honest here a small piece of coinage has been delivering mirth for quite some time! (Love ya Geoff but I’m Team Coin.)

Grammer's Guesses vs. Team Coin (2025-26) It's that time. Time for me to flex my college hoops and Mountain West expertise by picking every Mountain West hoops game against the point spread while my daughter flips a coin for ever game. Now a 16-year-old high schooler who still knows little about college hoops or the Mountain West, she has beat me at this little game five times since the 2017-18 season when it began and she was eight. Not this time, coin! This season is all me. And the good news is to start things off, we actually have the same pick, tonight. So there's no way I'll be losing come Saturday's slate of games! Grammer's Guesses (0-0 on the season): • Air Force +24.5 Daughter's coin flip (0-0 on the season): • Air Force +24.5 Attached is the March 2018 column I wrote at the end of that first season when she beat me.

@EricStangel That’s too bad, cause Brady could’ve been the first to call his own game!

Obviously I don't know how the Philip Rivers thing will play out, but I can promise if the Colts had signed Tom Brady instead they'd win the Super Bowl.

@GeoffGrammer @ABQJournal And you got that Journal signage in the shot too, you ol’ corporate dog you. 😉

For those coming tonight's Lobo basketball game at the Pit, know that there is a crash right now blocking traffic at the intersection of University and Avenida Cesar Chavez. And hit that follow button for traffic updates every 20 minutes brought to you by the @ABQJournal.

@EricStangel Behold, it’s the Unkicker.

His job is to kick the ball. He did not kick the ball.

@GeoffGrammer Whew. That frees up valuble time on the NCAA supercomputer then!

If I understand my Pac-12 postseason scenarios formula correctly, because Oregon State beat Washington State earlier this season, and Washington State now beating Oregon State, that means next week's Pac-12 Championship game will be Oregon State vs. Washington State.

@FAmmiranteTFJ @RyanDLeaf Here’s a (silly possibly) method: Kick the FG down 15 when you get the 35. Saves times & TOs, plus a 60% of success. Now no 2-pt conversions are needed - just 2 touchdowns. And you could even miss an XP! Doesn’t solve the onside kick, but you know what you need to do.

Onside kicks are virtually impossible to recover. I'd argue that going for two early and missing is demoralizing for the team. The game is essentially over then.

@JacobHester18 Hand it off to the big tush behind you! (Sorry Jacob, don’t mean that personally. 😁)

A piece of every fullback’s heart dies when a team lines up in shotgun at the one-yard line.

@michaeldweiss @suenosdeuomi We all know by now that in the Trump Administration every day is TACO Tuesday.

U.S. officials now confirmed what I wrote yesterday -- this whole thing was a Russian active measure, leaked to the press to sow panic and confusion and be conflated with U.S. policy in an administration where incompetence and dysfunction are evidently features, not bugs. macspaunday.substack.com/p/he-got-this-…

@NWSAlbuquerque Albuquerque snaps a 0-for-121 streak for November 15th!

Preliminary record high temperatures set/tied today: ABQ: 74° beats 73° set in 1903 Clines Corners: 68° ties 68° set in 2016 Fort Sumner: 83° beats 80° set in 2021 Portales: 84° beats 81° set in 2021 Roswell: 86° ties 86° set in 2021 Tucumcari: 85° beats 82° set in 2016 #NMwx

@GeoffGrammer And if it was a requirement it’s enforced as well as false starts on a tush push. 😉

It is absolutely not a requirement.

@SenTimKaine Cowardly & idiotic.

My statement on the funding deal to reopen government, protect federal employees, and vote to protect health care

@GeoffGrammer <checks box scores> Hey, you’re right they didn’t. 😉

I'm just happy my favorite football team doesn't play today.

@GeoffGrammer Man, I didn’t know this game had a rookie level! 😁

Today's winner of everyone's favorite game, #WheresGeoffGrammer?

@RonFilipkowski Robes and a smirky attitude won’t save SC justices from being hung as traitors following their fair trials. Be a first, but there’s a first time for everything.

Short-term legal win, long-term political loss.
