I love Bisbee! It's comepletely nuts.
There's a book, Going Back to Bisbee that is positively lovely. History, flora & fauna, etc of the Sonora.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

Punishingly Intricate
Martin Luther King Day is one of the least-observed holidays.
We never used get it off to but my small company was bought by a much larger company last year and now we do! Plus I'm taking tomorrow off so I'm going to NC for the weekend to visit my brother and family. I'll finally get to give my nieces their xmas presents. I'm so excite because I brought the 3 year old a ukelele from Hawaii. Everybody HULA!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought that Tucson was the prettiest ever. But then I saw New Mexico. Bon bon's still mad at me, I fear.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Go Lottery, choose lottery!
The past 3 weeks have had holidays in them to break them up. If only I got paid for holidays...

I think the prettiest stuff I saw on the trip this summer was in AZ, but I've been places in NM that are prettier. The photo I have in my office of a sunset in Cruces is awesome. It has purple mountains, white coulds, orange/yellow sky, green grass, and reflecting river.
Still, I think the only domestic landscape that makes me weak and weirdly homesick is central Texas.

I get MLK Day off, because I work in a Federal office. Last year my choir sang at an MLK Day celebration in Carrboro, which was a lot of fun.
The cave formations upthread sound terrific. And has been on my list of places to visit for a while now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
AZ and NM are not my sort of landscape -- I suspect I'll need Hawaii or maybe the FL Keys to feel at home.
But so gorgeous, nonetheless, in ways I could appreciate. Aspen, in contrast, was breathtaking, but it didn't inspire me to take pictures so I could look at it again.

I love that view. (A friend of mine had it every.single.day. They have a house on the WEST mesa with glass all across the wall overlooking the valley.)
But then I saw New Mexico.
There is stretch of I-10 west of Cruces that is deadly dull... People whose only exposure to my state is that think the whole place is ugly.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm so getting to NM next time, whenever that comes around.
I've seen pictures of pit mines, but the reality goes down and down and down -- and this huge mine? Is literally around the corner from the town.
There were a large number of "This highway section sponsored by [Company Or Individual Name]" except for the first time ever, I saw "Available" on that section of sign. We were in the damn middle of nowhere, which felt rather orphaned and unloved. You would think they would offer a price-break on the unpopular stretches....
