I’m jealous!
Don't mean to do that, but I do feel lucky to have lived my life in the West - first CA, then AZ, now NM.
If it weren't for the out-of-control crime and car theft, ABQ would be near the top of the best places to live. I still like it though. Many, many sunny days.
Almost moved to the arctic regions on Minnesota and environs but thankfully, NM had reciprocity so I could be licensed to practice law here.
