Out of Texas...

This is a little different than my usual blog posts. I just wanted to say, over the last month, I have officially escaped from Texas. It is good to be back at the Mountain (Albuquerque). I love this place. It has been 18 years since I have been here and I wonder why I ever left (I don't really wonder, it was a police escort). Albuquerque has always been a great place, but in the time period since I left it has even improved. The view is amazing, looking out your front door at a massive mountain, then looking the opposite direction and seeing extinct volcanoes, awesome. All the casinos have brought another kind of feel to the city too. There is a budding music scene, the campus area (UNM) is still full of incredible shops, it is all just awesome. On the one hand...

 On the other hand...The people are the best. There is a large group of people who are very politically aware, although they have varied views on government. But underneath everything is just this feeling of, "We do what we want." That is a hard feeling convey if you have never felt it.

It is a great place.

 Anyway, thats it. No words of wisdom. Just a blog.
