The climate in New Mexico is relatively warm but it doesn’t seem to inhibit the generation of a lot of snowflakes.
My family moved to New Mexico when it was Territory. Got to Ft. Sumner a week after Billy the Kid died. The men all married Indian woman, thus they could claim land in Indian Territory before the great Red River Rush when many went to file claims in New Mexico. I knew the Aunts, I SERIOUSLY doubt any of them would have made a fuss about a mural. But there are so people around just waiting for someone to offend them.
