A whine about winter

[Nackles at aol.com]

Hi Susan and all,

Debbie gave a pretty darned good description of the "folks" here in New 
Mexico, but I thought I'd chime in anyway.

I moved here four years ago when I met and fell in love with my hubby via the 
internet. All I knew about the place was that it had ideal sleeping weather 
in the summer.  80 or 85 by day, 55-60 by night.  Having survived 34 years in 
the humidity of the Ohio Valley I didn't give a darn what the people would be 
like!!  Well that's not exactly true, I cared quite a bit.

The first thing I noticed when I went to work in Santa Fe/Pecos area was how 
friendly everyone was, I couldn't believe it.  Complete strangers waved and 
said hello and it took me about a month to adjust.  Michael and I live in Los 
Alamos and I can't tell you how much we simply adore the people here.  I work 
for a delivery company so meeting people is part of my job.  With few 
exceptions people are friendly, considerate honest and quite likeable.  Of 
course the whole state isn't quite Los Alamos, but for the most part the 
electic mix of cultures treat one another with respect and I for one find 
that to be one of the greatest assets the state has to offer.
