Machu Pichu was built with an idea that a town could be self sustaining, by proper engineering of the buildings, creating a watering system with individual farm plots that was situated in such a high and remote place that they would be secure from invasion and wars.

12 THINGS SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DO BEFORE DAWN
by Ben B.Boothe, Sr. | Tuesday, October 15, 2013, 5:36 PM (CDT)
12 Things Successful People Do in Early Morning
(and 2 things that they do later on)
By: Ben B. Boothe, Sr.
I often think of my father, who woke me up early in the mornings when I was a child. I didn’t like waking up, but he made the day come alive and we worked in the garden, played tennis, or cooked breakfast together. Those moments with my Dad are precious memories. My father taught me to smile the sleep away, to feel my body come alive with excersise, to start the day with joy. I recall his laughter when the garden produced a fresh radish, or when he hit a fast curve serve to me on the tennis court under the pre dawn lights. He gloried in the sunrise, it’s many symbolic meanings throughout history. In my adult life, I find that early rising to be a part of my existence. Many of the most successful people I know are awake and productive before dawn. We, early birds have for 25 years called each other in the morning darkness and say; “Hey brother, do you see that light coming in the east?” and we embrace the day with a smile and a thankful spirit. bbb
DON’T BE HESITANT TO WAKE UP EARLY…YOU MIGHT FIND , LIKE GREAT MEN OF HISTORY, THAT EARLY MOMENTS ARE SPECIAL!

GUNS AND ECONOMIC TRENDS
Dear Friends:
We offer this report on Guns and Economic Trends. My friend, Mayor Alfonso Ortiz, of Las Vegas, NM recently said: “I love your reports but they are so long…!” Well here is another long one, but I hope you find useful acorns of value herein.
In the name of capitalism, remember:
We do commercial real estate appraisals.
We do personal property and equipment appraisals/valuations.
we do Phase 1, 2, 3 Environmental Reports.

This is my SWAMP MONKEY, I GO HUNTING WITH MY GUNS AND CAMERA
GUNS, GUN CONTROL, THE REVERENCE FOR THE HUNT
(Ben Boothe, Licensed Appraiser, Arkansas , NEW MEXICO, Georgia, Ohio and Broker and Licensed environmental representative, and licensed insurance adjuster in New Mexico, Texas with AND OTHER LICENSES in other states)
GUN OWNERSHIP:
The gun controversy brings up deep-rooted cultural differences. I have studied and thought and spoken to people throughout the nation. I have yet to find an elected politician who says they want to “take sports guns” or personal weapons from us. They, as do a vast majority of Americans, think that “military type assault weapons, machine guns and sniper rifles” should be monitored with preference for the police and our soldier’s use. Now if that is what the American people want and what most politicians want, what is the problem? This is a democracy isn’t it? Majority rules…not the loudest or the most effective gossip. Majority=Democracy. The problem, is as usual, a few radical ideologues. I always worry about those people who say they believe in “Brotherhood” and yet practice bigotry and hatred in every aspect of their lives, from their jokes to their actions. I met a brother Freemason one day, and he hated a politician so much, he simply spewed out hatred…yet tears came to his eyes when he spoke of the love he had for his “fellow man”. Hmmmmmmm What is going on in our culture that we have eliminated ethics from our actions. Let’s remember who we are brothers and sisters, especially on the gun issue.
My dear father, 55 years ago taught me the joy and beauty of the hunt. We went out at sunrise, drove to a far off ranch and he taught me the beauty of nature. How to track, He taught me how to love and appreciate nature. He showed how to keep it clean. He showed me the joy of watching live, wild animals and holding back, that we didn’t have to kill them to enjoy a hunt. How to watch and observe nature opened a new world for me. Today, I still can tell you every animal trail or track within a mile of my cabin, where they sleep, what they eat, even where they have their offspring. My dad taught me how to use a gun, but only to do so if there was a valid reason. He was a decorated Marine hero, had decimated a Japanese troop and he was not proud of the lives he took. At our campfires he taught me more about peace, and not killing than killing. He taught me to shoot so well, that as a 12 year old, if I could see a bird, I could ‘hit’ it. After a while, it occurred to me, that I had already mastered the physics of shooting, the hard part was to master the ethics of respect for life. That is where my dear father, who rescued many Marines on Iwo Jima taught me the best and the most valuable lessons of “the hunt” of life.
I learned love, reverence, discipline, observation, and appreciation. Today I am 65 and to this day, I have hunted deer, elk, bear, and all kinds of small game and birds. I can outshoot many a marksman. But, I also have not killed a deer in over 30 years. Often I track them, I have seen them give birth, I have watched a buck oversee his doe and two fawns eat and water at sunrise. I have climbed into caves to sit with a mother bear and her cubs and watch them come out of hibernation.
I have had these beautiful animals in my gun-sights and then snapped photos of them, saying “Gotcha”. My father taught me that the “hunt” was not about guns or politics; it was about nature, discipline, responsibility and reverence. The hunter of those days is not the typical NRA leader of today. The real traditional hunters of the NRA let radicals take the helm of that organization. Unfortunately the radicals of our world have co-opted the “hunt”, with politics and extreme viewpoints. Those Parents of Sandy Hook’s murdered children, have good reason to walk the halls of Congress, because they are reminding us, that the right to bear arms must be balanced with a legitimate philosophy of life, respect and reverence for life. Today’s macho man who has to spend $6,000 on a 50 caliber sniper rifle is not the same ‘hunter’ and does not share the same respect for life or love for nature and our fellow man, those ideals that my dad, the war hero taught me. Does your right to own a machine gun trump the right of a mother to know that her child is safe in school?
No, we will not be sheep, but neither will we be radical red-necks. My dad taught me a basic that I appreciate, and that is if my family, home or property is attacked, I will never be helpless. We will live in peace and enlightened thought. But, The old “Alamo” flag, of “Come and Get It” (the Alamo Canon), suggests that we are not helpless sheep. But neither are we mindless, macho, red necks. We simply, like the old attorney in “To Kill A Mockingbird” have a quiet strength and resources to back up our words. But, to make this political radicalism or to manipulate “gun” ownership into an extreme political fight, is below main stream or enlightened America.
We can only hope that our leaders of this great nation will come with balance and perspective, to respect the lives and traditions of America.
When I go to Washington D.C. I try to encourage our elected officials, to act in enlightened idealism, for our nation, and to avoid party conflicts. Work for he people, not the party.
99.9% of us don’t need a $1200 to $4,500 assault weapon to live productive, useful and contributory lives. If that is what it takes to make a person feel like a “man” something dreadfully is wrong in our culture. My father, was wounded numerous times, and yet, while behind enemy lines, did his duty. But once I asked him how to deal with conflict and would he teach me Karate and the ability to fight some thugs in our town. He told me: “Ben, learn to deal with conflict with your mind. Fighting and killing takes you to a lower level. I have taught you to use a gun, keep that deep and quiet within and only use it as a very last resort. But live your life with ideas, with love, with respect. Don’t let anyone turn you into a killer.”
I have tried to live by that advice and it has blessed me. I am surprised that so many affluent and educated people in the USA never got that kind of teaching. I am disappointed when I find an educated and affluent business leader, filled with shallow bigotry and reactionary thinking. But the good people, the good thinkers emerge and they inspire. They are our true and best Americans, filled with insight, wisdom and working for our nation above all.
On gun control, you must see this little video. It may bring a smile to your face.
See the You Tube on gun control and shortages:
GUN APPRAISALS: By the way, if you have a gun collection worth $50,000 or more, we can do a certified inspection and valuation on your collection, with our new associate who is an experienced buyer and seller of guns. It might be a good idea to have your collection of guns, swords, art and collectables appraised and we have the people who can do this for you. It will require a complete listing with serial numbers and photos and inspection, all confidential. Our fee is typically 5 to 6% of the value of the collection with a minimum of $2,000. But for insurance and estate purposes, this should be an essential basic for those who collect quality items.
ECONOMIC TRENDS:
The economy in Albuquerque, New Mexico is picking up nicely with many new projects underway. Agricultural sectors are doing well, as are the oil and gas mining areas. Other areas with water shortages, no agriculture, no energy or mining are suffering and some towns are dying.
We were observing a strong economy, led by areas such as Houston, Atlanta, Dallas, as well as Phoenix, Miami, Chicago and others. Many of the strongest economies such as Houston, are hotter than the rest of the nation, fueled by energy, shipping, medical industry and defense spending. Virginia, Georgia, Texas, California and the Carolinas enjoy almost 40% of all of the federal military spending of the nation. The “Sequestration” cuts are slowing coming into effect, and it is impossible to ascertain the impacts on those economies, but it certainly will be bad and lead to more people out of work.
WE RECENTLY OBSERVED ONE SMALL TOWN THAT HAD NO WATER, NO INDUSTRY, NO MANUFACTURING. WITH ONE MAN, THE MAYOR, WORKING THE PHONES AND A CHAMBER TRULY DEVOTED TO HELPING HIM, HE SINGLE HANDEDLY BROUGHT IN NEW INDUSTRY. THE TOWN GREW FROM 18,000 TO NEARLY 28,000 OVER A 7 YEAR PERIOD. THEY SIMPLY MADE THE TOWN GOAL TO BRING IN MANUFACTURING…AND DID IT. NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY SOME TOWNS ARE GROWING AND PEOPLE ARE MAKING MONEY, WHILE OTHERS ARE CONTENT TO DRIFT AWAY.
Banks are by law to maintain stable money supply We point you to cities and areas that have the following characteristics excel in economic growth:
Watch:
HOUSTON
CHICAGO
DALLAS/FORT WORTH
AUSTIN
SCOTTSDALE
MIAMI
ATLANTA
ALBUQUERQUE

Chief Tecumseh, Shawnee 1768-1813
“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.”
~ Chief Tecumseh (Poem from Act of Valor the Movie)
Omar Khayyam 1120 AD
A Book of Verses underneath the Bough,
A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread — and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness —
Oh, Wilderness were Paradise now!
Omar Khayyam – XII the Rubaiyat (1120)
Ah make the most of what yet we may spend, before we too into dust descend.
Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life
Diversity of worship has divided the human race into seventy-two nations. From among all their dogmas, I have selected one, Divine Love
“If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.”
“Love is the absence of judgment.”
“My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.”
“Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.”
“This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.”
“The whole purpose of religion is to facilitate love and compassion, patience, tolerance, humility, and forgiveness.”
“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”
― Dalai Lama XIV, The Art of Happiness
“The more you are motivated by Love,
The more Fearless & Free your action will be.”
“Man surprised me most about humanity. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
“Whether you believe in God or not does not matter much, whether you believe in Buddha or not does not matter so much; as a Buddhist, whether you believe in reincarnation or not does not matter so much. You must lead a good life.” And later he said… “Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn’t anyone who doesn’t appreciate kindness and compassion.” And later….Despite all philosophical differences, all major world religions have the same potential to create good human beings.
― Dalai Lama XIV
“Learn and obey the rules very well so you will know how to break them properly.”
― Dalai Lama XIV
“We are but visitors on this planet. We are here for ninety or one hundred years at the very most. During that period, we must try to do something good, something useful with our lives. If you contribute to other people’s happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life.”
“Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back and reasons to stay.”
“pain is inevitable, suffering is optional…
we have bigger houses, but smaller families. More conveniences, but less time. We have knowledge, but less judgments; more experts, but more problems ; more medicines but less health.”
“Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.”
“Like a lamp, dispelling the darkness of ignorance”
“As you breathe in, cherish yourself.
As you breathe out, cherish all Beings.”
“Be gentle with the Earth.”
Mark Twain 1835-1910
Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.~ Mark Twain ~
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.~ Mark Twain ~
Humor is the great thing, the saving thing.
The minute it crops up, all our irritation and resentments slip away, and a sunny spirit takes their place.
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody has read.
“Always do right; this will gratify some and astonish the rest.”
The secret to getting ahead is getting started.
Plan for the future because that’s where you are going to spend the rest of your life.”
Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover
“The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.”
Teddi Roosevelt 1858-1919
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure… than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt
Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.
Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.
I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.
I took the Canal Zone and let Congress debate; and while the debate goes on, the canal does also.
JOSEPH CAMPBELL 1904-19897
Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.
Joseph Campbell
Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.
Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths.
Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.
I don’t have to have faith, I have experience.
What each must seek in his life never was on land or sea. It is something out of his own unique potentiality for experience, something that never has been and never could have been experienced by anyone else.
