Playing in the Dirt

Just back from Vegas, and I still am in love with the American Southwest. No one I know can understand it. They cannot comprehend how I could like living somewhere where it is very hot in the summer. Well, I cannot comprehend how they can live somewhere where it is very cold, snowy and icy in the winter.

When I came back from New Mexico this past October, someone said that all NM is is dirt. I will agree with that. They do not have the lush vegetation that we have in the Northeastern US. I guess I am starting to like the SW since it is totally opposite of what I have lived with my entire life. And, more importantly, I like to play in the dirt.
