Greetings. I just joined this community today. I was born and raised in Santa Fe, moved to Denver 2 years ago, and moved back this past August to start school at the Southwest Acupuncture College. I am also the maintainer for the 
fanta_se community. Just wanted to introduce myself. :)

At Albertson's:
Lady attempting to slide card: Gosh, I just got this registered! Why isn't it working?
Cashier: The City is kind of slow to process these things.
Lady: Oh yeah?
Cashier: Yes, actually, I know all about it. I also work for the City.
Lady: You know? I was just thinking - you look a lot like Bill Richardson.
Cashier: [WTF?!]
Lady: That's a compliment.
All: [snicker]
Rad community, by the way. :)

12:23AM - Flashing sign at the corner of St. Francis and Cerrillos
The illuminated construction billboard thing that flashes text (what are they called anyways?) that's on the northeast corner of Cerrillos and St. Francis:
"DON'T DRINK N DRIVE"
"U DRINK U DRIVE U LOSE"
"SUPER BLITZ"
--
What the fuck? Are the cops saying they're going to "SUPER BLITZ" the citizenry or something? Also, I could've sworn that "getting blitzed" was a synonym for getting trashed/wasted/smashed/drunk.

Community college Anatomy & Physiology teacher (Canadian): "Americans eat too much meat, including their children."
Jonathan Swift would have some choice commentary on this.

1st kid "Was that when all the grasshoppers went all over the earth?"
2nd kid "Yeah and they killed everyone."
1st kid "Yeah man. That must have sucked."

Hi Santa Fe,
I just joined this community because I've recently moved from New Mexico to California and I'm homesick. Please keep the overheard conversations coming... I miss all those funky crazy types. Does anyone remember the homeless dude with the long beard who always wore a dress? Has anyone seen him lately?

11:47AM - Horses, etc.
Overheard at La Choza, Friday night, in a group of three men with concha belts and big cowboy hats:
"So, I got my SAG (Screen Actors Guild) card when I wrecked a horse, accidentally, but there happened to be a camera there."
And Churl, you force me to do this, because you haven't posed it yourself.
Brooke, Friday night:
"Lately it seems like everything has to do with hellos, goodbyes, and my breasts."

This is most definitely not Santa Fe specific, but Monny & I have always loved this, screamed indignantly by a 5 year old at the (now-defunct) 2nd Street laundry:
"You hit me back first!"
2:49PM - So amused.
Well, here's what I overheard in Los Alamos (and it's not what was said, but where).
"I'm just not understanding why I am not able to lose this weight. I have the latest issue of Self, protein, even diet pills.." -At the chinese buffet with an empty plate.
