6月15日 New Mexico 101-- Location, Location, Location.I had mentioned that at some point I should do my part to promote
New Mexico, because in the past I may have done a little PR damage by
promoting lies about my home state when at a national conference or two.
In my younger days I was very active in 4-H, and was selected to
be a state ambassador and represent New Mexico at the National 4-H
Conference. They other girls and I thought it would be entertaining to
see just how gullible people were, since we knew most people don't even
realize New Mexico is part of the United States, much less where it is.
Case in point. Last week (06/06/06) President Bush was in my hometown of Artesia, New Mexico at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center
that trains many of our Border Patrol. Fox News reported on it, this is
a jpeg of the image shown on TV. If you remember your geography, you
might notice that they have relocated Artesia, New Mexico 300 miles to
the west in Arizona.
P.S. this is just a jpeg the buttons won't do anything.
This is not unusual, New Mexico Magazine has a column on the back page called "One of our fifty is Missing." This column highlights New Mexicans experiences with people from other states that don't understand we too are a state, located between Arizona and Texas. Back to my lies I told while in Washington D.C. at the National 4-H Convention. The girls and I with the help of my father concocted the following story, that as we mingled around with the other conventioners we told. (This was in 1991, by the way.) We had to ride our horses to Dodge City Kansas, as there is no modern transportation in New Mexico. We had to hunt our own food, camp, in fact those pink snakeskin bootys Tyra is wearing were from one of our dinners. It wasn't easy keeping the pesky desperados, gunslingers and wild Indians away from us, but we were dead shots, thankfully. Then we caught the train and in St. Louis, MO the train done got run of the track and so they put us on a fancy flying machine called an airplane to get the rest of the way. The story got wilder and wilder each time we told it and people seemed to be eating it up and believing every word. Finally in the middle of the room we meet up with a group of boys telling us they barely made it in from Wyoming, since they been in a horrific gun battle shortly before leaving. Ahhh, some kindred sprit bullsh*tters from out west.
By the way, you do know how to tell a real cowboy from a dimestore one, right? On the real one, the sh*t is on the outside of the boot.
I'll try to educate you all a little more about the real New Mexico,
as I have been lucky or unlucky enough to spend a little time in most
of the towns. I feel it is my duty after spreading so many gosh durn
lies. 评论 (14)
