“ Interesting that your wife has a good understanding of history and conquest.”.
She’s an MD and former Army colonel. Has a degree in Modern Surface Warfare, literally. Geranimo would be her 2x great uncle I think.
She’d also absolutely cut me in my sleep if I betrayed her and we’ve been best friends since we were 3.
In seriousness, the Apache are literally the most Republican demographic in NM. I think the rez voted 90% something for Trump the second time around. Oil workers, ranchers, tough people.
“we’ve been best friends since we were 3.”
Wow! Now that honestly brought tears to my eyes! Imagine finding the love of your life at 3! Many more happy years to both of you!
I lived next to the White Mountain Apache rez in AZ Oct 1975 to Jun 1976. There wasn’t much interaction between the cultures. The Apache ran the Sunrise Ski Resort in the White Mountains at the time and the lifties didn’t much care for whites. I still remember getting the chair slammed into the backs of my legs.
