i can go to the gas station and not get carded when i buy alcohol as they all know me. i find it funny when that one person who doesnt work as much cards me for cigarettes.
It is okay I guess. It is only every other day that there is a drunk driver killing somebody. And now, on the front page of our newspaper, we have a massive look into why New Mexico is addicted to prescription drugs (and the story will be lasting a few more days). And that is not mentioning the hard drug problems (cocaine, heroin) that many people, including an abnormally large amount of high-schoolers, have. Oh, and did I mention the methamphetamine (aka: meth) problem that we have? Basically like Breaking Bad, but real (and less "cool").
So basically everybody you don't see (which is a ton of people) is either drunk or on drugs. Aside from that, I kinda like it, but only because of all of the wilderness/mountains that are easily accessible by living here... And don't even get me started on the Forest "Service" here.
It is a great town, though the part I'm in now has no one even near my age, just new families and old people. I always wanted to live in a huge suburb outside a major city with houses like right next to each other.
I wouldn't know as my parents moved around somewhat frequently so I've lived in all sorts of cities for only a few years at a time all around the Southern California area with a short stop over at a small town high in the mountains of Utah.
