You're all invited to come on down to Silver City where never is heard a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day (yeah, right). Been noticing some high altitude haze passing over lately (unusual for us), and I couldn't help but think of that China pollution thing that's been on the news.

We have a saying here, "Pobre Nuevo Mejico, Tan Lejos del Cielo y Tan Cerca de Tejas" - Poor New Mexico, so far from heaven and so close to Texas. We may want to change "Texas" to "China" if this keeps up.

But fear not, with no more EPA, there will be no more global climate change and no more pollution of our water or air - at least that we know of until we start noticing that we can set our tap water on fire like the cool kids back in PA. NM will get to re-open all its old, abandoned silver, copper and coal mines, etc. Since so many of us are already Hispanic and often speak Spanish among ourselves, no one will pay any attention when we sneak all the illegals over the fence - I mean WALL - and put them to work in our mines where we'll pay them pathetic wages with no workman's comp benefits or expensive safety measures. Who's gonna find out when there's no more Federale safety regulations? That's how to mine cheap coal! New Mexico is going to break out of its economic slump and become rico at last - muy rico!

Thank you, Доналд Трамп!
