You Know You're in New Mexico When... (Spanish, people)

[songinthewind7]

See the thread, 'Fire in Timberon' and find out what a bunch of caring people there are here.
I've never seen anything like it anywhere else.

I always think of this as New Mexico song, though I don't think Tish lives in NM anymore. She wrote & recorded it while living up North.

YouTube - Tish Hinojosa- By the Rio Grande

And New Mexico's Official Cowboy Song...

I am from New Hampshire and I do own a Subaru and I will be living in New Mexico one of these years.

America not to mention the Uhauls with the transports behind them with the Subuarus that have Maine, New York, Mass and Vermont licence plate on them. (You can argue that Texas has a big part in the population but you always see them headed back to TX)

Hey, Slap, are you implying that New Englanders aren't welcome to New Mexico? I am a happily transplanted New Englander who came down in a Subaru. And who did I find here? Folks from all over the country who said "Howdy" and "Welcome."

This is America and we are a mobile people and welcome to wander.

You are certainly welcome to go to beautiful New England, where you will find people from all over who will say "Howdy" and Welcome" to you, too.

*you know you are from New Mexico when you have to explain to people that we are not from Mexico or Mexican but are Spanish with Ancestors from Spain, then explain have to New Mexicos history.

I know this thread is way old but I couldn't resist adding a few of my own.

You know you're in NM when you order a Coke at a restaurant and they ask you what kind.

You know you're in NM when it's 2011 and over half a dozen people are calling the radio station on Saturday morning to dedicate the song Angel Baby.

You know you're in New Mexico when every 3rd person you encounter speaks Spanish & everyone comments on your age & your "stuff". When you overhear snarky remarks everywhere you go and people exclaim loudly, EXACTLY.
