    Pagan...you're in New Mexico. Tell me, what's the name of the plant there that makes the air smell so damn good?

    We were driving through New Mexico on vacation and stopped at a rest area along the interstate. I got out of the car and it was like I walked into an air freshener, there was this real sweet floral scent in the air. We asked people if they knew which plant was making the smell but nobody could identify it.

      Silly, that's just how the air is in New Mexico. It's clean and fresh and calming.

      ...which might be why I have very few SC stories from when I lived there.

        No video cameras, but Manager witnessed it, and I've got a huge farking bruise forming on my shoulder. I bruise so easily, that it actually looks worse than it is. It's all sorts of interesting colors.
        Take pictures, for evidence. Maybe even have a doctor look at it, so you have medical records.

          First guy, wow, how stupid was he? Did he not notice the Powerade? Also, it's empty (I forgot if it was or not). I just love how people drink/eat all of something and then complain how crappy it was.
          And really stupid temper-tantrum that lady had. yech.

          Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

            That's still pretty damn good. Maybe she'll think twice before being a psychobitch in the future.
            But to think twice, she has to think once. And thinking is taboo in SC-ian society.

              I don't know what it is either! Which interstate and what part of the state was it? The only thing I can think of is when it rains, you can smell the greasewood....which I love. It's just a smell I associate with the desert.

              But this is the best possiblity....except if you're driving I-10 between Las Cruces and El Paso or heading south out of ABQ on I-25. Ah, yes, the smell of the dairies....in 105F heat in June! It certainly gets your attention!

              EQ - come on back, we miss you. I spent exactly one year in El Paso....which I now refer to as my "year of insanity"!

                I was born and raised in El Paso, so I feel ya on the dairies. Ironically enough, escape for me was in White Sands, Carlsbad, Cruces and ABQ. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love parts of my hometown, but it's nice to be elsewhere in the state. There are parts of Hell Paso that I could cheerfully do without, but to go into detail would label me all sorts of nasty terms, so I shan't.

                I do miss the mountains though. And my family. My stepdad's stationed in Bliss, so they're kind of stuck there....

                  I was born and raised in Las Cruces. For some reason, even though they knew I went to NMSU, the people at the K-Mart (Montwood) I was at in Juarez Norte kept thinking I was from ABQ (what an insult). Some even went as far as to try to tell me how hot it got in the summer.

                  Of course, up here, I get people telling me to "go back where I came from". Some seem to think that since I'm Anglo (a term I don't like, I don't have any Angle blood in me), that I'm obviously a transplant. Funny thing, I've got three very good friends that are non-Hispanic, non-Native American native New Mexicans!

                  I miss the Organ mountains, although they're on fire right now! It was 106F in Cruces and 104F in El Paso yesterday. And they think it's hot up here! Ha!

                    That's the funny (wonderful) thing about New Mexico. You can be from anywhere and still be from New Mexico. (at least in Socorro you can be)

                      Ya know, I just realized that I don't know anyone that is actually from Suckorro. Or will admit it at any rate. Which I don't understand....it not like it's Española!

                        Because they like to say they're from New Mexico rather then saying they're from Socorro - and it's not that bad! The Tech students are great, just finding a job in Socorro is a Pitch-and-a-half! That and they're all transplants!

                          I don't know about N.M. but around here, that would be from the Mountain Laurel trees. When I was a kid, I had one outside my bedroom window, and eventually, I want one again.
                          Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.

                            Nope, I don't recall seeing any of those around here. With my luck, I'm probably allergic as all get out to it. There's a hell of a lot of Spanish Broom around here, but I don't really notice that it has any sort of aroma.

                              Mountain Laurel isn't found in the desert anyways. It prefers a much wetter climate (which is why they grow like weeds in the NC mountains!)
