That has been going on for years. When my dad got transferred to ABQ in ‘63 from London, some of my friends were concerned for our saftety what with the rampaging injuns and gun totin’ cowboys everywhere. And it’s still a SMDH situation. Beautiful state. Horrid politics. Of course Calvada is now in the same boat. Beautiful state, horrid politics. At least no state income tax here. Yet.
Got a better one for you.
Just before I quit driving long haul, about 8 years ago, I was at a Wal-Mart east of Albuquerque and heard a couple of 30-something tourists complaining about their drive through the Indian reservation.
They were incensed that they hadn’t seen any tipis!
They actually believed the Indians still lived in tipis, hunted buffalo and rode around on horses.
The Indian girls working at the Wal-Mart could barely contain their laughter.
One of the girls said something to another that I didn’t understand so I asked. She said it basically meant “silly assed whites”. We all burst out laughing at that point.
