I have the same feeling, and I have never spent any time in New Mexico...can't explain it, but I have been buying New Mexico and SuCasa magazines for years, and something is just drawing me there...I feel a real pull lately...so I am going to be making a trip in October to see if I can figure out if this is where I truly belong. I always figured I would end up someplace like Austin, I really love music  ..but I seem to be pulled west instead of south. |

I came here looking for home made mezcal, but never found any. Cuervo ain't too bad though, and it's cheaper here than in the midwest. I just never went back because I like it here so much.

Did anyone read "Angle of Repose" by Wallace Stegner or "The Brave Cowboy" by Edward Abbey before venturing to New Mexico? Just curious
Yes, Angle of Repose, one of my favorites. I read it years ago before I ever dreamed I'd live in NM one day. I came here for a job and for no reason beyond that. It's been interesting reading through this thread and heartening that there have been so few of those "get out if you don't like it" posts. Someone gave the opinion that coming here as a younger working person is totally differant than coming here as a retiree and I agree with that. One's by choice, the other by neccesity or circumstance. We have differant wants, needs and perspectives of what's important to us at differant times in our lives.

Should have been in quotes- someone above asked that.
Sorry about that, I've never gotten the hang of how all this quote stuff works |

No I didn 't read either of those books.
I did real all the books by Tony Hillerman and Michael McGarrity and several by Rudolfo Anaya as well as "Death Comes for the Archbishop" -- but I already knew I wanted to move here before I read them. |

New Mexico has been very good to us. My husband was from Chicago and I'm from small town Kansas with roots in southern Missouri and Texas. My husband was a children's dentist in Albuq for 35 years and I worked in politics and a trauma nurse among other things. We bought a small ranch about 20 years ago and this is home. It has a draw, and any time I'm away, I long for my mountains. Would be very hard to leave.

I don't think so that would mean that the heat index would be 199.2 You would DIE in that heat.  People the hotter the temps. the lower the humidity. I wish people would educate themselves in weather science. I can't count how many people that have said 100 degrees with 100% humidity to me. 
WOW a 200 degree heat index. I have never seen or heard about that from the NWS.......
WHAT AFFECT DOES CORE TEMPERATURE HAVE ON THE HUMAN BODY?
CORE TEMPERATURE RANGES
98 to 99 degrees NORMAL
99 to 103 degrees HEAT EXHAUSTION
103 to 110 degrees HEAT STROKE
110 to 114 degrees DEATH

bradly - I didn't know you had moved to Nevada. I know you love NM and seems like you just would always be here.
Was the move really tough ... and will you be able to come back here to live one day?
