Go Miners!
By default, I’m a Texas Longhorns supporter. Too much time in Austin, burnt orange shag carpet will do that to a body. The Horns salute, looks a lot like a familiar metal solute, it’s popular. The arch rivals, Texas A&M – Gig’em Aggies – have some sort of a thumbs up thing. Texas Tech, I was there last spring, they use thumb and forefinger, like a pistol.
So I was watching, and I did the “hook ’em horns” sign and Grace’s daughter, a UTEP (go Miners) student, she patiently explained that the Miners symbol looks like a familiar hand gesture, thumb and pinky extended, a little waggle?
Hang loose. Dude.
New Mexico:
Just like old Mexico, only, less corruption and cleaner bathrooms.
The broken and jagged mountains, the harsh desert floor, on the way to and from Las Cruces. I-25 separates from I-10, the main east-west corridor of the souther states, and I-25 heads up to Denver. Via the Rio Grande, I think, at least part ways.

NM State Highway 404 – Anthony
NM State 404. It was an inter-web joke.
Argueably:
Still one of the finest cups of coffee – anywhere.
