when walking up to the supermarket you don't have to ask why a man is spinning a charred up caged barrel.

So far the best of them all.. I so agree about the red & green thing. The AC a bit over the top, were not Arizona.. but the last one is also dead on.

if your wine glass collection is made up of doña maria mole glasses your from el paso

[Aspetta17]

At least these happen/ed to me a bunch

You know you're from El Paso if:

1. you get homesick when you see the latest NASA images from Mars!

2. war images from Iraq leave you with a scary sense of dejavu (cuz it looks just like Juarez LOL)

3. you've ever dodged a huge-ass tumbleweed during a sandstorm.

4. you (or your car) have ever been smacked by a huge-ass tumbleweed during a sandstorm.

5. you've ever chased a roadrunner to see how fast they really run (compared to the cartoon LOL)

6. stopped by the side of the road somewhere to pick prickley pears or blackberries

7. you've ever driven out to see the "marfa lights" but didn't see anything (that was the case both times I went!

8. you've ever sat outside (balcony/porch/roof!) by yourself or with a friend and some wine or beer, to watch an amazing sunset.

I never got to do anything really crazy cuz I just graduated when we moved to Florida (Franklin '99). But I was born in Juarez and I lived in El Paso my whole life and I still miss the way it smells after it rains! (BTW if anyone's wondering about that smell - one of my HS science teacher's says that that smell is actually ozone released into the air during the storm by the creosote bush

Wish I was there,
Natalia.
