I feel at home here, to a point. That's a funny story about cleaning your gear, Kim! Yeah, pretty futile in these parts.

Since moving down here (south-central Texas), my husband has had horrible allergies. He never had them all the years we were in NM. I do agree about the dirt everywhere. I can't believe how little I have to dust living down here as compared to NM. Although different areas had different amounts of dust (lived several places in the state). As for the dry skin, I never really thought much about it until moving down here a few years ago. My skin doesn't need a layer of lotion on it everyday, I never get split ends, and I don't even need a separate conditioner for my hair. I understand your not wanting to settle in the desert. The water situation is worrisome. I really want to move back someday though. I love NM and miss it more than I ever thought I would. Funny about the allergies.

I guess it depends on your allergy type, dust vs. pollen etc. Keep looking for an allergy free place, I already need the sinus transplant ;) Jim,

We can relate! Ever since we hit this area, we've had sinus problems, dust in our truck, dust in our trailer, dust in our eyes, dust in our teeth..........I could go on. We love this area also but don't think we could live here because of the dust and the winds. We spent most of Sunday emptying the truck and totally cleaning out the back. We store all of our camping and boating equipment there. This included washing or wiping down everything and putting things bac into new, clean containers. Less than an hour after we were done - a huge wind blew dust and dirt right back on everything we had cleaned. Sigh.... I had to laugh at your statement about the dust AND allergies. We can relate!

It's mostly a swamp. that's why there are drainage canals and runoff ponds everywhere. As for New Mexico? I might be able to live here if we could learn some way to make water, and I could get a sinus transplant. The wind and dry desert air are murder on my allergies Developers are always at war with the land in Floriduh because that land was never meant to be developed.

Red Wine shouldn't stain your teeth but cheap French government manufactured cigarets should stain not only your teeth but your nose and forehead as well. All we are saying is give red wine a chance Rene, give Gorgonzola cheese a chance as well though it's a sweet pairing with certain white wines. Cheese and wine are actually not an easy mix, you'll need to take delicate steps in this area. Too sharp a cheese and too weak a wine and you'll have hell to pay in your jowels with all of those conflicting acids. Life is complicated, nes pas?

As for me, red wine stains my teeth. Now a good Pinot Grigio, on the other hand, is something I could swim in.

According to local medical lore, over 25% of those living in Aix En Provence have successfully swapped the water in their bloodstream for, well, wine and as a result life expectancies have tripled. There's the story of the 168-year-old pilates instructor in Aix, and the 220 year old boxer (claims he once mistakenly urinated on Napaleon's horse after a charge on an Italian village) who recently retired from professional engagements because of bunyans. So be it I suppose. Anyway, my point is your looking at the well as half empty if not all empty and if Santa Fe or even New Mexico for that matter has a Trader Joe's then a solid variety of wines will be available that are less in cost gallon per gallon than water. You could shower and do your laundry in a young Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Francs are excellent for basic cooking and thirst quenching, even the Jerry can get in on the action - ever hear a Shepherd bark La Marseillaise? It's awesome and can be very emotional. Over time you can get your rig to burn Languedoc varietals, man, I can go on forever about how we need to loosen up in this country by letting go and lettin' the Merlot flow! Hmmmmm, soothing and smoothing, yeah baby, C'est bon you bon vivant, Eric You might want to consider going the way of southern Europeans like in the South of France, most don’t even remember the last time they drank water and besides, the local rouge does much for the bloodstream and constituent entrails/organs.
