Love the way you write! My husband and I enjoyed your description of your five hour drive, as we regularly did a 24hr drive one way from Ft. Worth to Virginia (various locals from NoVa to the coast) thirty years ago. More fun, tho, with two drivers, a growing boy and a large Doberman. ;-)
Interesting that the statue was placed in 1988. Some group like the United Daughters of the Confederacy, honoring white supremacy over native peoples? The sculpture is beautiful, except for those horrible spurs and the way he’s wrenching the horse’s head around. Also emblematic of dominance.
My friend did a cool article about Breaking Bad tourism in ABQ. Might be of interest: https://www.academia.edu/42655072/Breaking_Benjamin_A_Womans_Pilgrimage_to_New_Mexico
