Subject: Bumper sticker
Several years ago there was a popular bumper sticker in New Mexico that read
"La agua es vida." Do you in NM still see these around and, if so, can anyone
suggest where I might order a few?

TIA,

David

Try looking in natural foods stores and counter-culture bookstores.

    Land of the flea,
    Home of the plague

seems to keep recurring as a bumper-sticker and tee-shirt.  I just saw:

    Texas:  Bigger than France

on I-25 near Trinidad, CO, and had a vision of a team of bowlegged men
wearing cowboy boots, chaps, and spurs playing in the World Cup.  
(And yes, France is 210,040 square miles, and Texas is 262,134 square
miles.  Other comparisions and contrasts may occur to thoughtful readers.)

Thanks, Denis. We decided yesterday to spend a week or so in northern NM next
month, so I'll be able to look for the bumper sticker as well as stock up on
green chile.

*chuckle* That's good.

I got one too: "Texas:  half the size of Ontario."

Or another one: "Texas: half the size of Québec"

Thus explaining why Texans come to New Mexico in droves.
