You know you are in New Mexico when... (Part 2) - by Dot

You know you are in New Mexico when...

... sunglasses are a MUST in January
..."low visibility" means the winds are high (sand storm)
... you see as many cowboy hats as baseball caps
... it's sometimes hard to find the Duke game on TV
... the special music at church is provided by the Green Chile Quartet (all two of them!)
... all the store signs for various departments at Target are in Spanish and English
... fitness centers have "snow bird" rates
... pick-up trucks and SUVs are as prevalent as sedans --- maybe more so!
... no one is commenting on Carolina's losses
... the pecan harvest is still going on in January (New Mexico is 2nd only to Georgia in pecan production according to my sources. There are large orchards in the Las Cruces area.)
