Sorry to say I have never heard of Rio Rancho, NM

I'm sorry to say I have. ;)

[beethoven]

Thank you! It is great Trump is starting to line up more rally's. 🚅

Woops, that first video is not the one I thought it was, but it is pretty interesting.
This guy is a fairly leftist Mexican who is supporting Trump for some surprising reasons.

Emilio, the patron died in 2008, but the family still has considerable presence up there.

[Carthego delenda est]

Sounds like you are there. I’d love to be there, but I just made the trip to ABQ on Saturday as a delegate for the convention. It’s a 5-1/2 hour trip each way for me. When it was announced that Trump would be there today, I almost bailed on heading to the convention in favor of making the trip today. I wish I would have!

Q: What do the Espanola police drive?
A: A lowrider with a luminaria on top.

While we're waiting here are some things we in NM know, but others do not:

You know you're from New Mexico when:

• You buy green chili the bushel and red chili by the gallon
• You have a bottle of Holy Dirt in your night stand drawer.

• Your Christmas decorations include a yard of sand and 200 paper bags.

• Most restaurants you go to begin with 'El' or 'Los'.
• You remember when Santa Fe was not like San Francisco .
• You hated Texans until the Californians moved in.
• The tires on your roof have more tread than the ones on your car.
• You price-shop for tortillas.
• You have an extra freezer just for green chili.
• You think a yellow light means to go faster and a red light is merely a suggestion.
• You don't make eye contact with other drivers because you can't tell how well armed they are just by looking.
• You think six tons of crushed rock makes a beautiful front lawn.
• You ran for state legislature so you can speed legally.
• You have read a book while driving from Albuquerque to Las Vegas.
• You have used aluminum foil and duct tape to repair your air conditioner.

• You know the punch line to at least one Espanola joke.
• Your car is missing a fender or bumper.

• When you go out of state, people ask you if you have a green card.
• You expect to pay more if your house is made of mud and straw.
• You can order your Big Mac with green chili.
• You see nothing odd when, in the conversations of the people in line around you at the grocery store, every other word of each sentence alternates between Spanish and English.
• You associate bridges with mud, not water.
• You know you will run into at least 3 cousins whenever you shop at Wal-Mart, Sam's or Home Depot.
• Tumbleweeds and various cactus in your yard are not weeds. They are your lawn.

I would love to visit one day.

[hoosiermama]

Are you there ?
Thanks for the report!

[Yaelle]

I got this email today and just answered it so that I can do phone banking from home! I want to help.

Can’t wait to see him tomorrow.

[Yaelle]

Good for the Bern getting those votes counted. She needs to be called on every little cheating point. She must be waking up in a different world these days, where Clintons are not protected species any more. Ha!

[RayofHope]

Lest we forget that in chili season Walmart has chili roasters in front of their stores and sell them by the sack full......

[hoosiermama]

Am laughing more with each line

One of the few state I’ve not visited
But I get a very vivid picture .......

[CedarDave]

Rush covering now. Caller telling him Martinez is not going to be there and hasn’t endorsed him. Said on TV that she was “too busy.”

[DollyCali]

Hoping the bikers will continue to be present in mass for crowd control and support. ESPECIALLY when getting to Texas but it a bad idea in NM

[RayofHope]

We live in a very remote community of about 900 folks, 300 plus registered voters mostly conservative. I don’t think there is a need locally here but I will call and see if the phone banking can be done in other areas........

Thanks for the tweak!
