Truth or Consequences is a spa city in Sierra County, New Mexico. Originally called Hot Springs, the area took its unique name from a gameshow challenge in the 1950s.
This photo depicts a place called Riverbend Hot Springs where we stayed overnight a couple of times. It's the best place to wake up in the morning to have a soak in the hot springs and watch the sun come up over the Rio Grande.
This is a picture from my stay at Riverbend Hot Springs in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.

Due to the lockdown we seemed to have filled a 240 litre paper recycling bin. More cardboard on ice cream lolly boxes due to the warmest May on record here in the UK, certainly more beer boxes (no explanation needed on that one) and more boxes from internet shopping (not by me I hasten to add, although I did buy a can of paint by mail order).
Mixed Berry seems to be flavour of the month!

You're the colour,
you're the movement
and the spin.
Never
could it stay with me
the whole day long.
Fail with consequence,
lose with eloquence
and smile.
I'm not in this movie,
I'm not in this song.
Never
leave me paralyzed, love.
Leave me hypnotized, love.

It is too early for Tulip. It is pretty warm for winter. As a consequence, tulip started to grow much earlier than its normal season. Not good. Wrong. It has to be fixed in a proper way.

China Pledges 'Full Support' to North Korea Amid First COVID Outbreak
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was seen wearing a face mask in public for the first time on Thursday as North Korea acknowledged its first coronavirus cases of the pandemic.
China said it was ready to provide Pyongyang with its "full support" as an outbreak with potentially far-reaching consequences brews along its northeast border. North Korea's 26 million people are thought to be largely unvaccinated.
Kim chaired a Politburo meeting of the country's ruling Workers' Party, in which North Korea announced positive COVID cases for the first time more than two years since the virus emerged in China. State broadcaster Korean Central Television showed the leader entering the room wearing a mask, which he later took off in order to speak.
"A most serious emergency case of the state occurred," the Korean Central News Agency reported. The infections were confirmed as the highly transmissible Omicron BA.2 variant following testing of fever patients in Pyongyang on Sunday, the state-run news service said.
"Informed at the meeting was the spread state in the whole country. Urgent measures were presented and deliberated to take the strategic initiative in the epidemic prevention campaign for the future," said KCNA. The exact number of the North's cases was unclear.
The country's COVID measures were elevated to a state of "maximum emergency," KCNA reported. Kim ordered all cities and counties to "thoroughly lock down."
The gathering of top leaders was also carried by party paper Rodong Sinmun, which said the COVID outbreak was the second item on the meeting's agenda. The Politburo "censured the epidemic prevention sectors for their carelessness, relaxation, irresponsibility and inefficiency," the newspaper said.
Kim, meanwhile, urged calm. "Pointing out that more dangerous enemy of us than the malicious virus are unscientific fear, lack of faith and weak will, he affirmed that we will surely overcome the current sudden situation and win victory in the emergency epidemic prevention work," he was quoted as saying.
WHO data showed only 64,207 people had been tested for COVID in North Korea as of the end of March. All had returned negative. Prior to the confirmed cases over the weekend, it was one of the few countries to have survived the pandemic without reporting any infections.
The UN agency's director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said last November that the country was one of only two in the world that hadn't begun a vaccination campaign. Both the Chinese government and the WHO-backed vaccine-sharing initiative COVAX had pledged shots to Pyongyang in 2021, but the offers were declined.
Experts fear a COVID outbreak among the North's 26 million people could be devastating because of an existing food crisis that has left large sections of the population malnourished. Shipments of medicines and medical equipment, including those for treating COVID patients, are currently barred under UN sanctions.
Kim ordered the party to mobilized "reserve medical supplies" as part of the anti-virus campaign, said Rodong.
Pyongyang has maintained its own zero-COVID measures throughout the pandemic. These have included strict border controls that at times required the suspension of overland trade routes from China.
As of this week, the Chinese provinces of Liaoning and Jilin, both bordering North Korea, were both still reporting positive COVID cases daily, although the numbers were declining from weeks earlier.
At a regular Chinese Foreign Ministry press conference in Beijing, spokesperson Zhao Lijian said China "empathizes" with Pyongyang's COVID situation.
"As a comrade, neighbor and friend, China stands ready to provide full support to North Korea in its fight against the epidemic," he said.

Nancy Pelosi snaps back at reporter asking about COVID relief
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi grew frustrated with a reporter who repeatedly asked her about Covid relief aid as she reminded him that 'people are dying' in Ukraine.
'This'll be your third time,' the California Democrat told NBC News and Punchbowl journalist Jake Sherman when he said that he wanted to ask about Covid relief aid, which was left out of the 2022 budget bill.
'It's substantive you like substantive questions,' Sherman said.
'Yeah, well, people are dying in Ukraine and all of that, you know,' Pelosi said. 'People are dying of Covid, too,' Sherman shot back.
Pelosi told reporters that she advised the Biden administration to ask for double what they originally sought - as much as $45 billion for fourth booster and variant-specific vaccines, therapeutics and testing.
'What I've said to the administration is: You must ask for more,' she said. 'We want it to be bipartisan, we need it to be paid for. So let's just go for a bigger chunk. I think they should be double what they asked for, because even when they were asking for like 20-some [billion dollars] it was only going to get us to June,' Pelosi said.
She again insisted that the cost of the relief needed to be 'offset.'
'The last thing we need is another variant,' Pelosi said. 'The resources that we would have had in the bill I think need to be enhanced now because we're another week later and we still don't have it.'
Still, Pelosi said that most of her conversations with the White House over the past week have been about Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The White House originally asked Congress to include $22.5 billion in funding to fight the ongoing pandemic, but that number was slashed to $15.6 billion after negotiations between Republicans and Democrats.
Many Republicans still questioned whether any money was necessary at all, claiming there were leftover funds from previous Covid measures that had yet to be used. Then, a number of House Democrats - and governors - balked at the plan to repurpose $7 billion in leftover state Covid funds from the American Rescue Plan.
The relief funding was ultimately left out of the budget, which passed five months late and just ahead of a deadline that would have triggered a government shutdown. House Democrats are now working up a separate Covid relief bill, but will need to court 10 Republican votes in the Senate. If relief had been left in the budget bill, it slipped by with the rest of the provisions through reconciliation and avoided the 60-vote filibuster hurdle.
Pelosi reportedly became furious Thursday morning with members of her own party during a private Democratic whip meeting over funding being left out, according to Politico.
Health and Human Services Sec. Xavier Becerra and Dr. Anthony Fauci came to Capitol Hill Thursday to underscore the need for more Covid funding. After they spoke, Pelosi apologized to them for having to come down to the Capitol. then turned to her own members. 'You want to tell me about what you didn't get? Don't tell Noah about the flood!'
As of Wednesday there were 31,152 average daily Covid-19 cases, down 43% from two weeks ago, and 1,268 average daily deaths, down 31%.
The White House put out a press release Tuesday warning that they will soon run out of monoclonal antibody treatments as soon as late May and would not be able to offer a fourth booster and variant-specific vaccines to all Americans unless Congress provides more funding.
There is currently only enough funding to offer a fourth booster to immunocompromised Americans.
The White House told governors Tuesday morning it would cut the number of monoclonal antibody treatments being sent to states by 30 percent starting next week, an official said.
'We'll likely run out of these treatments for our most vulnerable ... Americans by the end of the year if not sooner,' the official said.
Moderate Republicans who could be swayed to vote for further aid are still insisting it's paid for, and demanding a full accounting of where other aid money has gone so far. However, they blame House progressives for to destroyed the chance to keep aid in the budget plan.
'Believe it or not, the administration has not provided the information that we Republicans asked for,' said Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said, according to Politico. 'Nevertheless, Leader Schumer did agree with our leadership [on] a $15 billion package with money repurposed with prior Covid funds. It was stopped, as you know, by House progressives. But the money was there.'
'We had a chance to get that last week, and the House progressive wing blew it up,' Sen. John Thune, R-N.D., said. 'They torpedoed it.'
Sen. Richard Shelby, Ala., ranking Republican on the Appropriations Committee, said he was 'open-minded on further aid, but first called for an accounting of how previous funds had been used.
'I'm not convinced of the need yet, but I don't know for sure. So I'm open-minded on that,' Shelby said. 'But I'd like to see — and I've said this — we need a real accounting for the money.'
He said if the money is 'not hidden' and a need is demonstrated, Republicans could get on board.
The National Offender Management Service event, Actions Have Consequences, was delivered to pupils at schools in Oldham, Rochdale, Salford and Bolton by a Her Majesty's Prison (HMP) officer, dog handler Paul McGovern MBE and GMP were there to support the event.
Prison Officer Paul McGovern MBE, from HMP Manchester, works within the Prison Community Team which engages with children in local schools to break the cycle of children being peer pressured into local crime gangs and subsequently being imprisoned when they are adults.
The aim of the Actions Have Consequences programme is to build bridges between local children, their teachers, local neighbourhood policing teams, school based officers and the youth offending team.
The programme is carried out in a fun but serious way and covers 46 subjects, some of which include the realities of knife crime, gang wars, drugs, anti-social behaviour, relationship breakdown, and the a real-life experience of being in prison.
Local GMP officers and pupils interact throughout the session and the pupils soon see through the police uniform and see the individual underneath, who are not only there for when they are in trouble but are also there to help them.
Since it began in 2010 the programme has been delivered to over one million children throughout the country with the support of the local neighbourhood teams, school based officers and the youth offending teams.
GMP is committed to educating young people, engaging with the community and taking part in programmes like these that are vital in helping to shaping people's future.
Prison Officer Paul McGovern MBE comments that: "I put a lot of energy into the day so it is quite tiring but if it stops one person from being killed or stops someone being imprisoned, the aim of the programme has worked.
"I do have to mention my two prison dogs G and J who also come along on the day. They always receive lots of attention but when I need a volunteer for someone to wear the sleeve - everyone goes strangely quiet.
"I have received positive feedback from those schools I have attended so I must be doing something right as I am always asked when I am coming back".
Chief Inspector Danny Atherton commented that: "We have worked with Paul and the programme for many years and find it is a valuable input for the young people of Greater Manchester.
“It is a powerful way to educate them as they approach adulthood, so they make the right decisions when a situation arises to keep themselves and their friends safe.
"I'm proud to support such an inspiring project and I'd like to thank everyone that works hard to make it happen. Sadly, these examples and situations are some people's reality, but by sharing them we hope they will make good choices in the future and speak to ourselves if they need help."
Deputy Mayor of Greater Manchester Bev Hughes said: “We are committed, not only to strong enforcement against violent crime, but also to trying to prevent it happening first place. Greater Manchester’s Violence Reduction Unit takes a public health approach to violence reduction; this means focusing on understanding what lies behind the problem, the root causes, on testing and evaluating interventions to find out what works best, then and delivering those interventions more widely.
“Interventions such as the Actions have Consequences programme help to build positive relationships between children, their teachers and the police.
“By working with young people, families and communities we can understand and address the reasons how and why people, particularly young people, can get drawn into violent crime. If we can turn young people away from violence at the earliest possible opportunity we can make a real difference to them and our communities."
This is what happens when you run around in the woods and get muddy. Let that be a lesson to you, Cosmo.
So here I sit looking at the traffic lights
The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
I want to run away I want to ditch my life
Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night
