You know you're in Albuquerque when...
...you're driving down one of the busiest streets in the city, and you see a guy riding a horse. In your lane. Now, Albuquerque may be somewhat backwater compared to other American cities, but we do have cars and multilane roads and street lights and electricity to run them. The horse rider turned down the same side street as I did, and the last I saw of him he was hitching his horse to the bike rack outside a local italian restaurant. I'd like to point out here that this place is one block from my house, and the neighborhood is decidedly unrural.
I spent another morning at the courthouse, waiting to be called for a potential jury (and wasn't--yay). I sat with the same laptop ladies as last time, and one of them had kindly brought a power strip for the rest of us to plug into. We ended up getting into an interesting conversation about flexibility in the workplace, and it turns out that one lady is an HR specialist who is working on a PhD on the generational differences between workers. She said even though I was born on the cusp of Generations X and Y, I had the ideas of a Yer, and she wanted to interview me at some point in the future as a part of her dissertation. Sweet--I represent a generation!
Now it's time for some of the berry pie I made on Sunday. I love pie almost as much as I love ice cream. Pie + ice cream = perfect :D
