Einstein was here
I mean, I guess he was. That’s the only explanation I have for that graffiti.

Great minds need solitude and isolation to really percolate …

Well, great minds could REALLY percolate out here – it’s between Roswell and Tatum and there’s not much else besides solitude and isolation!

I think I told you that I lived in Roswell many years ago. Then moved north in the state. Much better up north. New Mexico is beautiful.

You had mentioned living in Roswell; things are very different in the northern part of the state, aren’t they?

Yes, you climb to 5500 feet to go to Albuquerque. It is not desert there. But although I was young then, the altitude did bother me – (not to speak of a bad marriage…) – Albuquerque was/is a good place for an Air Force base because the weather is good, mostly always clear year round. The sun shined and it looked like a brilliant day but when I opened the door in December I could have dropped dead from the icy cold. In Winter it snowed every day at 5.pm, it was like magic, even as much as a foot, but by noon the day after, it had all melted away. It was not too hot in Summer, or anyway bearable – not like here in Idaho where the dry heat (at my age anyway) kills me.
I did like Albuquerque. And Taos even more, although I did not live there, I only visited.
New Mexico left me memorable mental images of unending bluish-violet mountain ranges with their vanishing profiles all the way ‘to eternity’ … and those solitary mesas rising with courage out of the landscape, topped off flat as if a knife had sliced the peak away ! Try it sometimes….
PS: Donna C. just published a post with an image of Acoma-Sky-City as seen from the air.

We lived in Albuquerque from 1978 to 1982, and found a lot of things to like about it. We took up cross-country skiing (because my husband was in grad school and we didn’t have much money and cross-country skiing didn’t require purchasing a lift ticket). It was great because we could ski on Saturday mornings, in the Sandias, then be home in the afternoon in time to do laundry and all that other stuff.
The high-desert climate was very pleasant, too. And we liked the food, and the art, and so on. We considered moving back, but decided against it, and ended up in Lubbock instead.
I am going to Santa Fe for a week this summer, to take a photography class. It will be my longest stay there, and I am looking forward to it.
