    well this doesn't happen in like, 5 o'clock traffic or traffic down the main roads that are crowded, but pretty much anytime it's you and an oncoming car, it happens. residential roads, rural highways, etc

    haha it's funny that you mention this, as we were driving up the sandia mountains a colorado-tagged car in front of us did this exact thing. of course, the roads were icy and my mother (who was born in new mexico) was driving like a maniac, so they were probably genuinely fearing that we were about to slide off the side of the mountain

    That is an unwritten rule in pretty much everywhere in the deep deep south, especially near smaller communities btw.

    happens out in the more rural areas here too. lol

    other states do not have this same unwritten rule of the road -- apparently in Washington someone pulling over is a sign of someone about to go all road ragey on someone according to a state trooper who pulled me over after doing that.

    not so in new mexico, i acknowledge another pedestrian or driver and i get weird looks or i am overtly ignored.

    so i have been in new mexico for a few days now, i dont know if people consider it "southy" but here is my experience

    -in the south, or at least in louisiana, there is a sort of vehicular code, especially amongst pickup truck drivers. when you see an oncoming vehicle, you simply raise the fingers of the hand holding the steering wheel. it's the street version of the 'slight nod' which is what people give eachother when they pass on a street or in a store or anywhere.

    not so in new mexico, i acknowledge another pedestrian or driver and i get weird looks or i am overtly ignored.

    -"hot" and "spicy"? i laugh at new mexico's "hot and spicy". twice i have been warned that something i ordered at a restaraunt will be "hot", which apparently means "lightly seasoned with pepper, not any hot peppers either". i mean it was good, just didn't clear my sinuses. i like my food therapeutic.

    -i saw a place in the mall food court called "cajun grill". i have never laughed so hard in my life. it was clearly a chinese food place, run by chinese people. but hey, call it "bourbon" chicken and i guess that is cajun! especially when served with fried rice and eggroll!

    -latina chicks. oh my god. can't ever tell if they are 12 or 20 though. pavement and i are playing a game called "spot the black person" and after four days we are still tied 0-0

    -no humidity is fucking FANTASTIC. we went to the peak of the sandia mountains and did some sledding. (going facefirst down fresh powder on a luge-esque plastic device? awesome) sure, when you crash into the snow you get an instand ice slushie to the face, down your jacket and pants etc... but the intensity of the sun plus no humidity meant after like three minutes, i was warm and dry and ready for another run. (climbing up those slopes with my sea-level lungs and pack-a-day habit is another matter tho) i wound up sledding in nothing but my pants and t-shirt.

    -being able to stand at the foot of the mountains and see a city 40 miles away is still something i can't believe is real. you can literally see the geography change. it's amazing.

    -most of the food was pretty good. and speaking of, i have never heard of doritos salsa verde flavor, they were awesome. and vlasic TABASCO FLAVORED pickles wtf... awesome. can't wait to bring these home and deep fry the shit out of them. fried pickles are the greatest. there's a place here (in albuquerque, have i even mentioned thats where i am) called like, las cuates or something, and it has the most killer salsa i have ever had. like, it was almost srirachi-esque, and pretty spicy. i bought two jars of it.

    -gotta reapply chapstick every 5 hours, very annoying

    -maybe cuz im high, but i have been disoriented the entire time i've been here, as far as driving around. shreveport was build, for the most part, as relatively grid-like, north-south oriented. but albuquerque isn't oriented like that, if i walk down a street i will be heading like, southwest or northeast, not simply sorth or south. and the mountains i just keep thinking are due north when in fact they are east of the city. fsdkljsghdfjkghjkg. we roll down the windows and holler everytime we go through the louisiana street intersection

    -mexicans
