The weirdest thing in New Mexico is the effect of the Allsups chimichanga on the human body.

Thank you, Robert. I knew some of the stories. We drive through Abiquiu many times a year on our way to Santa Fe.

The 1837 revolt wasn't in Taos. It was centered in the Santa Cruz de la Canada area and Perez was killed in Santa Fe.

I wonder how many of these were or would be attributed these days to varied mental illness.

Wasnt there an Armijo who was beheaded?
