Enjoy this snail kiss and pass it on....

You know, it is a minor miracle that there is a snail in New Mexico. They usually can't survive the arid climate, but recently we've had lots and lots of rain (like, raining every afternoon for 3 days is what we call a MONSOON).

Rain is so funny in New Mexico. It's like, no one ever thinks it's really going to happen (which is somewhat true. it only rains about 20ish days out of the WHOLE YEAR). So they don't make holes for the water to go!

So everytime it rains fairly hard, the streets fill up with water and you half expect some gondolier to start floating up beside your car window singing. Okay. Maybe I just wish that, but seriously, the sewer holes are usually on an uphill. C'mon. Duh.
