This afternoon was spent listening to (and managing to doze off) a conference call with the investment department of my ban on the Market Volatility. With the Dow Jones plunging 2,000 points today, it was rather timely.

After waking up, I decided I didn't feel like cooking tonight. I wanted to go to Genaro's in Gallup, but was uncertain if they were open on Monday. Turns out they weren't. I figured ahead of time that if they weren't open, I'd go to Don Diego's Restaurant & Lounge or Earl's. Since Don Diego's was closer, I went there and had a good plate of chicken taquitos.

After dinner, while heading down Historic Route 66, I decided to stop by the Gallup Cultural Center of the Southwest Indian Foundation that held its grand re-opening party last week (I was too exhausted to attend). While walking to the center, a Native American girl was also walking in the same direction. She was carrying on a deep conversation with herself. (No, she didn't have her cell phone on with a microphone.) She was either "slightly advanced" mentally or on drugs.

She went inside the cultural center ahead of me. I instead went to take a photo of a statue of a Navajo USMC Code Talker and the building before going inside. When I went in, the girl was still talking to herself. Her most lucid moment was asking me if I would get a drink for her from the vending machine in the lobby. She looked like she could use it. So I got her a soda from the machine. She was muttering that some guy raped her and got her pregnant. I guess this qualifies as my "good deed for the day".
The museum was closed (I did see through the window that they had a collection of guitars) as was the restaurant. I did manage to pick up some literature. I then left, with the girl still inside still talking to herself.
I'll have to go to the Gallup Cultural Center at an earlier time when everything would be open.
