Life in New Mexico has been quite the adventure this past week, Dear Reader, with record-breaking snowfall measured in feet rather than the usual sparse and crystalline inch. Alex and [girlfriend] Jess arrived safely at Albuquerque International Sunport in the thick of it [one of the last flights in before flights were grounded left and right].
Driving south on icy highways through blizzard-like visibility to fetch them, we nearly ended up in a ditch south of Santa Fe - one of those out-of-body-holy-shit moments as we skidded and fishtailed in apparent slow motion, high-beams behind us bearing down alarmingly fast.
How the truck missed us, I still don’t know.
