Of course, they don't actually <i>know</i> that New Mexico is a state. They probably think it's a foreign country. Remember Hands Across America? Some Hollyweird person with long arms said that he'd be standing between Texas and Arizona. But then, other than the occasional slippage on the Sandia normal faults--very gentle quakes--we get very little in way of natural disasters here. And the wildfires we have are always upstaged by California. I mean, what would the national news outlets rather film, fifty people dispersing to relatives houses along the backside of the Manzanos in Torrance County, New Mexico (population 2000) or the rows of dome tents in the Wal_Mart parking lot in Los Angeles county? You understand. You know, those weather mavens also stand in front of New Mexico–and since New Mexico is lower on the map than Maine, they block the whole state.
