[QUOTE=phil417] Wow. I love New Mexico, especially the Albuquerque area. I haven’t been there since the late 1970’s. I loved Old Town. I remember the walking trails in the Sandia Mountains. Great times! Happy July 4th, everyone! I worked 2nd shift tonight (at Wally world). I’m told I got off easy. After midnight (or after the area fireworks end), the not-quite-sobers and other partiers congregate at our 24-hr supercenter. Last year, the local police were on red alert for most of the night. Love, Phil [/QUOTE] I’m nearly a hundred miles south of Albuquerque out South of the Manzano mountain range. Did you ever get to the Old Town in Santa Fe? Now there you are talking an Old Town . Thanks ---

Welcome, **katphol**! Glad to have you here. I’m curious about your posts. Is there some reason you use a double-comma, or is it supposed to be a _mercha-kfulah_ chanting mark? ---
