aw, Rich--you looked up my town. I feel speshul! Here's a link to Amazon that supposedly has a little listen:

or maybe this one:

my audio controller is broke on my 'puter, so I can't listen.

And Hyoi, you be sure to let me know if you get up there. I've been to Santa Fe many times (got my back tattoo done there over a year and a half); but have never made it up to Taos yet. It's on my list.

I heard the tail-end of an interview on NPR by a woman who just wrote a book about that. Fascinating and horrifying at the same time. She was pretty sure that the Mexican government - or someone in it- knew/knows who's behind it and is protecting them. Every time someone gets close to solving the mystery, they become a mystery too.

like Jack the Ripper

More like Jose the reaper.

Thanks. The second link had the whole song. It sucks that you can't listen to this. It's a great cover. Since it was actually a YouTube link, I've put it here.

thanks! I was actually aware--or had forgotten--that the Dead had covered El Paso, even though I've seen them perform several times, etc.

I'm sending the link to Daughter No. 2, who will enjoy it.

Keep meaning to fix that darn computer thing!

I think I'd rather die than have to live in El Paso. Hell, I don't even prefer the salsa that's made in New York City!

godsandmen 04-29-2007 12:43 PM

I meant to say I DO prefer the salsa that's made in NYC. Sorry about that.

Hey, maybe I should make it a practice of having to make "correction" posts. I suppose that's one way to get my post count up there.

Cloud 04-29-2007 06:41 PM

I'd rather die than live in New York. Almost.

godsandmen 04-29-2007 11:43 PM

I wouldn't want to live in NY either. But El Paso, uhhhgggghhh - I would die in that hot sun!

cowhead 04-30-2007 10:38 PM

nope, kansas was hot and cold enough...

Cloud 06-17-2007 10:06 AM

well, it's supposed to be 99 to 101 degrees all week. And so it starts. Basically we hover around 100 (unless it rains) for the next 2 or 3 months.

I tend to hibernate a lot during the summer. :(

Cloud 06-17-2007 09:48 PM

:biggrinba (waves to BrianR, who I just noticed also lives in El Paso)

I get distressed when it goes above 20 (68) here.
Now that it regularly hits 30+ (86) in the summer I seriously think I'll have to leave my beloved England by the time I retire...

Americans are often amused at what the English call a terribly hot day -- just ghastly. Americans are used to that being where the hot weather is only barely beginning to get serious -- "What'samatter with you guys? It's nice and warm!" It's our lower latitudes.

It takes a day to make Australians wilt -- 43 C in the waterbag -- to really impress the Americans, and even then this only means some of the Americans. Las Vegas born and bred would feel right at home in, say, Coober Peedee. Though they'd reckon it's definitely hot enough for them.

Just went there, and it's summertime for sure. The dry lake south of town is the abode of dust devils. Drove through one of those once, right there as it was crossing the road, and the whole car bounced and jigged. Startled the wife -- "What was that?"
