New Mexico is going really well. It's kind of chaotic, but in a beautiful insane kinda way, and we're getting a lot done and having a lot of fun. And I may have just made an enemy of a particular precinct administrator...
The crew out here is awesome. If you put together some classic 50's-style pro-America film, showing The Political Process and Doing Your Civic Duty and whatnot, and updated the demographics, you'd have something that looked very much like the bus I rode out on here. Blacks, hispanics, whites, and plenty of people that weren't so easy to pigeonhole. Little old ladies with study bibles, techies, housewives, middle-aged hippies, and even a token hipster or two. Everyone's really smart and really passionate. I sat next to a young woman whose goal is to get a doctorate in theology and write bible study guides that have been updated to include all of the evidence that's been collected from archaeologists, evolutionary biologists, historians, and so on over the past few decades. Her's is an interesting perspective -- very conventionally protestant in some ways, and radically unique (at least to me) in others. I didn't agree with her on a lot of stuff, but we still had a really incredible conversation. Today I discovered that I was here with another Nathan Of Note,![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
