Santa Fe, Part One

New Mexico sure is pretty. Every sunset is a beautiful sunset, and the state likely possesses one of the most distinctive regional identities in the whole country.

 

Santa Fe is close to 7,000 feet above sea level, so unless you're on Mount Everest or something, I'm able to look down and see what all of you are doing, all the time.

This is the Tecolote Cafe. It makes great food, and the owner is a swell guy. It also is a regular eatery for A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) author George R. R. Martin. When I visit, I try to spot him (though, like a dog chasing a car, I have no idea what I'd do upon meeting him other than flap my arms and squawk really loud) and order a breakfast burrito, because breakfast burritos are the tastiest thing in all of Westeros.

The countryside is glorious, and today I plan a trip downtown. You should come out and visit!

This is a coyote fence. Coyotes are a problem out here. That is, unless you don't consider a pack of wild canines breaking into your house to steal your valuables and babies a problem. In that case, you will have no need for said coyote fence. Simply let them in.

This is Karma. She is a little rotund, but you can't help but like her. She likes scenting things, rolling around in the dirt, and hugs. Aww.
