Man, I'd love to tromp around New Mexico for a few weeks! Hard to believe that
many Americans don't know it's one of the states of the Union -- after all,
U.S. Civics classes in high school way outclass any social studies/Canadian
studies classes most Canadian kids get in high school... (a surprising number
of Canadians can't name all ten provinces and three territories).
