A former White House executive chef to Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush has been reported missing in New Mexico’s Taos Ski Valley after a planned hiking trip to the area last Saturday.

Walter Scheib, 61, was reported missing by his girlfriend when he did not return home from a hiking trip last Saturday.

Authorities discovered his vehicle on Tuesday, and have been combing 20 to 30 square miles of mountainous area for Schieb since Wednesday, according to Bob Rodgers, the search and resource officer leading the search for the New Mexico Department of Public Safety.

"The terrain is very tough, very rough," Rodgers said. "We still have snow on the mountains." Authorities are conducting using a combination of ground teams, search and rescue dogs and at least one helicopter in the search, Rodgers said.

Yeah, there is a difference between Mexico and New Mexico - for now.

Though Albuquerque is beginning to look more like Juarez every day with drug and gang shootings daily.

I like getting out and seeing a lot of different things. I just try to do it sensibly.

I am a firm believer that people get in way over their head in life when they don’t think before they do things.

This guy’s life may be over for simply not thinking.

Sad but true...

I used to live just north of the northernmost city in Mexico when I was in Imperial Beach. Now, in San Juan Bautista, I’m living just a bit south of the northernmost city in Mexico, Gilroy.

Taos my FRiend....... is in New Mexico

That reminds me of I think the Olympics in Atlanta. Some one from New Mexico called the ticket call line and was told “we only sell tickets to Americans at this number sir”

“Visited Mexico 40 years ago. It’s a piece of cr** looking for American dollars. Sewage in the streets. Cops with machine guns on the beach.”

And you only have to venture over the border from San Diego into Tijuana to get the full picture. Dead dogs in the gutters, Indian beggars, the cops with automatic weapons et.al. And you can look back down on San Diego from TJ and just wonder how a $hit hole like that can exist a couple of miles away from a beautiful city like SD.

Not banana peels. Lobster tails.

No, you missed it by about 15 miles, that city is San Jose, or at least East San Jose. Gas at Reid-Hilview Airport is paid for in Pesos.

Inflation is horrid I mis-remembered $99.95 form the old TV commercials back in 57. I think he sponsored a late movie with two commercials both long. Thanks for the stroll.

So:

Great chef meets hillary Clinton
Great chef cooks for hillary Clinton
Hillary clinton leaves White house
Great Chef still cooks at White house
Great Chef retires from White House
Hillary Clinton runs for President
Great Chef goes missing.

Another hillary body count victim.
