SFR Picks, Sept. 18: “Water, Water Everywhere”
A River Runs Through It
As New Mexico’s rivers were named America’s most endangered in 2024, there’s still time left to watch Renee Roberts’ remaining three episodes (Violet Crown showing on Wednesdays, September 25, and October 2 and 9) of her five-part…Thinking Like Water covering Bill Zedyke’s pioneering contribution to protecting our waterways and restoring degraded lands. These incredibly inspiring episodes chronicle and highlight different treatment methods. …Thanks to Roberts’ fantastic direction and breathtaking films for contributing to the essential work of protecting our waterways as also held by the hard work of the Santa Fe Watershed Association.

As long as New Mexico’s return flow credit policy incentivizes the dumping of minimally treated sewage into its rivers, our rivers will grow ever more polluted with PFAS, pharmaceuticals, nitrogen, etc. If the Reporter turns its back on the problem, then it is part of the problem.

The Fork, Sept. 19, 2024: “God help us, we went to Chili’s”
You Eat Burgers Wrong
Oh, great. You go to a chain restaurant like Chili’s for a burger, but when it comes to the best green chile cheeseburger (with grilled onions mind you! And crispy fries!) in Santa Fe—gee, it’s just so far to drive out to [Carmelita’s in] Eldorado. I mean 15 whole minutes. If you were hitchhiking I could understand it. You are not being asked to drive to Pie Town. But oh well, whatever. Your loss.
Robert Williams, Santa Fe
I’ll read more chain reviews just for the snark.
