the desert

Im deep in the south of new mexico. This is the land on ridiculously oversized belt buckles and cowboy boots and mariachi radio stations. The cigarettes are 3.50 max, and the suns glare is so harsh it hurts to look at the sky. There are tumbleweeds everywhere. Tumbleweeds! I never thought I would see them in person. It looks like dried mud puddles from the air, and you can see the trails of every trickle of water that ever crossed the land. Were driving 75 and still under the speed limit! What does this strange landscape hold in store?
