A few 'Albuquerque Anecdotes', mostly Automotive

First of all, I hope your daughter's car makes the trip from GA to NM, and you all arrive safely.

If (when?) her car finally expires, though, she couldn't have made a better choice for a place to bury it.

True Story #1

One time, I saw a car full of people traveling down Central Ave, and there was so much smoke pouring from the vehicle, you would have thought it was on fire.

No one − and I mean no one − took much notice.

So, what's the point?

New Mexico may be the *only* place 'Where there's smoke, there's fire' does *not* apply.

You'll see...

True Story #2

My brother also lived in Albuquerque, and while he did 'OK' there, his car did not. Matter of fact, it up and died.

Not being attached or very deeply invested in it, he simply adopted the local custom and left it on the street.

N-o-o-o-o-oh problemo: It disappeared muy pronto, never to be heard from again.

By anyone.

True Story #3

Went through town about ten or fifteen years ago. Stopped for lunch.

Took back route. Wound up in alley.

Noticed 'dead' car. Not much glass. Lots of rust. Been there a while.

Realized I was 'back'.
