Almea and I are looking for an apartment to rent. Would any of you like to sound warnings to potential future landlords/roommates? (e.g., "they are wont to laugh very loudly and knock over furniture, but at least the female can cook" or something to that effect.)

I also learned from Bessie's godparents that Catron County, New Mexico, has cultural attractions to rival a city such as Prague. Its splendors include, but are not limited to, a county commissioner who cannot read (but apparently "he has a real good memory"); decaying roads; scorpions; no water; and no decent medical facilities for hundreds of miles. Just the place to retire to from Manhattan.
