• Despite mild flu season, don't skip shots, experts say

  Tue Jan 24, 2012
  • I almost died from the flu in February 2002. I had a fever of 105F, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, you name it. I had my spleen removed in 1988 due to a car accident and was ordered by my doctor to get a flu shot every year.

• BMW 3-series combats challengers

  • I have a 2007 BMW 335 Sport. It's an absolutely incredible car, and once you've had one, it's pretty much impossible to go back to a Toyota. Yes, it is more expensive to maintain and repair than a Toyota (or pretty much everything else), and the car has not been flawless, but it's still worth it.

  • Ren, in most of New Mexico there is no inspection for ANYTHING. Only those living around Albuquerque are there emission checks.

• No snow? Big problem for US ski resorts

  Thu Dec 29, 2011
  • This is crazy. I live in Santa Fe, NM, and we've had snow non-stop in December. Last year there was NO snow at this time -- the ski resorts weren't even open. I skied on Christmas Day in some of the most amazing powder I can ever remember.

• Housing market improves, but foreclosures spoil the party

  • Why would any buyer want to take on a $210,000 mortgage for a property valued at $200,000? Also, mortgage rates today are likely lower than the original mortgage was. No bank is going to transfer a mortgage over with >100% loan-to-value ratio.

• Fierce winds and snow snarl Great Plains travel

  • Believer, that picture is on I-25 coming into Santa Fe, not I-40, and most of those people are likely commuters coming into work for the day. I know, because I live in Santa Fe.

• Scheduled home auctions hit nine-month high

  • So, C. Moakler, what would you have the government do? And like a new congress would do anything different!

• Ailing Honda hoping for a comeback

  Wed Dec 14, 2011
  • Everybody here babbles on about how long their Hondas last. Here's a news alert: pretty much ALL cars nowadays are very reliable and trouble-free for many years. Toyota and Honda USED to be much better than the rest, but now everybody else has caught up with them.

• We are the median: Mom and son scrimp and plan to get by

  Tue Dec 13, 2011
  • I've had moderate pay increases, but not beating inflation.

• Regulators probing gear shift trouble with GM cars

  • Dave, last time I checked, anything mechanical can and will fail at some point. Even a Toyota. That is why there are redundant systems on everything, and that is why the parking brake should be used: for exactly what happened here: when "Park" fails to keep the car parked.
