Albuquerque Here We Come!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a minute - I'm not moving to Albuquerque, but it sure looks like a lot of businesses are, according to Forbes. They just named the city as the Number One metropolitan area in the country for business and careers. That's probably because the city boasts the lowest operating costs in the country, and has a very educated population (ie: people make more here). Lots of high-tech and healthcare/pharmaceuticals are out here, so it makes a little bit of sense. Oh, yes - they also apparently have 300 days of sunshine a year, not to mention their annual Balloon Fiesta. Also, their minor league baseball team is named the Albuquerque Isotopes - partially named after a Simpsons episode reference, and partially because the city is known for being a center of nuclear research.

Thanks for the compliment! Checked out your blog - cool stuff!

On Flickr, there's a really cool way that you can link your blog directly to it by going to your account page and adding your blog link. The pool I came across with the grocery bags I can't recall at the moment - lost the label when I was editing my post.
