Most of New Mexico is visual overload to me. But the politics there have made it ugly.
I sometimes call it the Land of Disenchantment. I lived there for 12 years.
***But the politics there have made it ugly.***
It is home State to me but I no longer live there due to what has happened to my state. 50-65 years ago it had great schools, great jobs in the oil, gas, mining.
Now the Californicated Liberals have made it one of the worst states to live and work in. Even the schools rate below Arkan-saw and Mississippi.
