It's been way too long since I've been to New Mexico (about 10 
years) I still remember when flying from Dallas to Reno the pilot 
saying we'll be flying over Las Vegas and wondering why he was 
detouring 350 miles south until I realized it was the Dallas-Las 
Vegas NM-Shiprock route:-)

One of the great places we visited was either Chimayo or Chamisa 
where "The Milagro Beanfield War" was filmed. I picked a piece of 
Cholla cactus in the graveyard where one of the headstones was a 
Harley Davidson motorcycle frame. The Cholla is doing great in the 
front flower bed. Purple flowers.

Have some Chimayo pepper seeds purchased in Santa Fe on that 
trip. Plant a couple each year and they still germinate.

Some of our Christmas lights are still up, but the tree is about to 
fall down. More wind than roots in the home of the Washoe Zephyr.
