The queries I’ve found that New Mexico leads in are New Mexico, Southwest, Coyote, Jackalope, Plague, Turquoise and Sopapilla.

Which pretty much sums up the state, if you ask me.

I guess someone had to be, but it is sad that Nevada is #1 for bankruptcy.

Texas at least has it. Maine needs it (that’s how they heat) but many can’t afford it.
