I need to know what Albuquerque, New Mexico is like. Climate. Cost of

considered. A good site that is idiot proof that might take me to these
questions. What groceries average. This is extremely important to me and
before ya'll tell me to go to a website. ..... the ones I've found are
extensive, it takes forever to download these sites of some of them (I have
dial up connection and I need a dead ringer site that would be simple with
answers to these questions) unless there is someone out there in the
newsgroup that can answer me because they live there.................
madgardener serious about these inquiries (don't ask, just help me, please)


I suggest that you put your topic in the subject line if you expect
answers. No one cares that you have a "question" and "need answer
seriously" but if you state your problem in the subject line you may
get serious answers. And then again, maybe not.

That might be good advice for no-account-nabobs, but just about everyone
here opens ALL Madgardener's posts no matter what the subject header,
as they're often such lovely posts.

I dunno what the ng is like, at a glance it doesn't look super active,
but I suspect answers could be obtained from the ng alt.culture.us.southwest

I've friends in Albuquerque who regard it an affordable mecca for
oddball artists who couldn't possibly afford Santa Fe.
