Like all places Albuquerque has much to love and much to be disgruntled about. On a morning like this, however, NewMexiKen is reminded of Ernie Pyle’s fine words.
Yes, there are lots of nice places in the world. I could live with considerable pleasure in the Pacific Northwest, or in New England, on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, or in Key West or California or Honolulu. But there is only one of me, and I can’t live in all those places. So if we can have only one house — and that’s all we want — then it has to be in New Mexico, and preferably right at the edge of Albuquerque where it is now.
