NM Cities
Bob I haven't laughed that hard in a LONG LONG time!! I bet she bought her independent front and rear Liberty especially for New Mexico too. What do you think will happen when she really realizes that only about 10% of the people in Santa Fe are living comfortably and the other 90% aren't? My parents retired to Sandia Park and I know exactly where you are coming from on the lectures. I was out clearing some prickly pears when one of their neighbors came up and asked where I was going to replant them. I said these damn things are going in the trash. She was appalled,"my husband is working on a cactus garden for our front yard!" I explained to her that my Mom spent most of her life in Tucumcari and she didn't want any of them on HER land. I offered to leave them in a pile for her husband to come pick up but yeah they went in the can. Besides the coyotes running rampant they have a lot of rattlers. One neighbor finally realized that when he stopped leaving his garage door open he didn't see them inside his house anymore. They apparently had one in their bedroom last year and the conclusion has been made that they aren't too far from the den. Now in contrast my parents had their dog enclosure made as snake proof as possible,I swear the wall is at least 8 feet tall too, for the coyotes. My Dad(step dad really) grew up in the Black Hills just south of Rapid City so he's seen a few to say the least. They decided too retire in NM too get away from the bitter cold winters and snow only to have this unusual amount of snow in the Sandias,San Pedros and Carson. I bet you've crossed paths w/ them while hiking. They have been doing quite a lot of that now that they are settled in and actually have a place to call "home", they lived in various cities along the way. My Mom sent me some pics of them riding the lift up Baldy in the summer/fall and it just looks awesome. That whole region from the San Pedros to the Colorado line speaks to my soul. Of course being high atop a rock near Bishop's Cap watching the sun go down in summer certainly does too.
