If you are looking for cheap property then look no further than Truth or Consequences, NM. It's not the end of the world, but you CAN see it from there! Could be going up, though. WalMart is coming in and a space center is in the works not too far away near Las Cruces.

My crazy mother moved there with my crazier brother and bought a manufactured home with river frontage for around 70,000. Okay, so the river is not always exactly abundant and flowing, but it is NM, after all.

I used to like to sit naked in the hot tub and shoot at rats, but Portland has lost whatever humor and common sense it once had. I had to give up my little hobby.

I miss my guns.

If I had rats scurrying around my hot tub I'd probably want to shoot 'em too.

I had an old friend (dead now drank & cranked himself to death) who kept a .22 loaded with birdshot next to his chair in his living room. Had a view of the kitchen and if he saw a mouse come into veiw he'd shoot it. The first time I saw him do that it was a bit of a shock (and even a .22 is pretty loud in a small room) but after seeing it a few times it became just another of his weird habits. He had a cavalier attitude about guns though - he shot left handed out of necessity because he shot his right arm off with a shotgun when he was a teenager.

Truth or Consequences eh? Does it stay warm in the winter there?
