'Hello' from the land of enchantment, New Mexico

Many forget that New Mexico was the home of Billy the Kid. Today the capitol of New Mexico is affluent Santa Fe up near the luxury ski resort of Taos. The Sandia Mountains of Northeast Albuquerque are predominently upper income. New Mexico is no longer as portrayed in old westerns. One side of my family came to Virginia in the 18 century, the other side to St. Louis in the 1880s.

Nice try but we will not let you into the country until:

1. You learn to speak English
2. You fix your rampant Drug Lord problem

I've been here for three years now and haven't seen anyone wearing one.

Now, they all do drive like shit... And I learned to drive in California, so if I think they drive like shit...

Just sayin'...

I've driven through New Mexico a few times. Seems like time stopped. I expected to see dinos crossing the road at any time. Welcome to the board. Hope you enjoy it here.

We gave up the excitement of the city for the family environment of historic New Mexico. The emphasis is on family here. While New Mexico is primarily Mexican-American, it is an integrated community of people who enjoy a slower pace of life.

You gave up the excitement of the city to move to Albuquerque? I could recommend a lot of places in New Mexico that would have offered you a more uncitylike environment.

But welcome to our fair city. And welcome to USMB. Hope you find a happy home in both.

(Oh and pay no attention to HJ. Great guy but he hasn't been here long enough to wear out a pair of shoes here yet. I have a lot of senority on him. (Hell I've got seniority on just about eveybody.)

Sorry to disappoint. I was born in Evanston, Illinois. I have only been to Mexico one time and that was on the border of Nogales.

Actually, it was kind of freaky. My mom had asked me to pick up a half dozen clay flower pots with painted decorations on them for her patio. I was struggling with them all wrapped in paper as I went to cross the border, (only a fool drives across).

There was an American immigration guy sitting between the two lines going back into the United States. I simply said "Do you want me to unwrap these? Is there a place I should go?" The agent hit me hard, "Why do you think we want to look for drugs? Are you the kind of guy that would bring drugs into the United States? You don't look like a guy who would bring drugs into the United States? Just step through here?"

Well, I have to tell you my face must have been red as a beat. I was embarrassed and humiliated. Then, the agent laughed, "Go ahead. You're cleared. We have many ways to check." I never crossed again.

No, I work in marketing/communications, and my employer had an opening for an account executive in Albuquerque and Santa Fe to call on the casino businesses. When they have a band or comedian come in for a weekend, we line up the radio and newspaper ads with our Los Angeles office. I love the work, and love the people. Native Americans are a lot different than you think form movies and television. They are sophisticated, educated, and love to laugh. My main client is a Harvard graduate.

I crossed at Nogales one time and had a bottle of tequila and some Mexican vanilla. I thought they would hassle me about the vanilla because it looks like liquor. The guard just waved me through

I walked about ten feet past the checkpoint and a guard with a German Shepherd spotted on me. He yelled at me to stop and I stood as the dog circled me. The dog alerted on my back pocket and the guard told me to remove what I had in the pocket. I pulled out my wallet and opened it and the guard told me to take out the money and spread it out. The dog alerted on a fifty dollar bill.

The guy told me that drugs are often packed along with fifties and hundreds and the money picks up the scent. The dog was able to pick up the faint scent from about thirty feet away

I wouldn't want to try to sneak drugs through
