Viva Nuevo Mexico (III)

My latest humorous New Mexico story came from listening to the news on the radio. During the winter, the radio gives notices on whether the air is clean enough to burn wood in Bernalillo County (Albuquerque). They always say "It's OK to burn today in Bernalillo County." The other day I was listening to it and the radio guy says that and then follows up with "But arson is still illegal." Funny thing is that given that it's New Mexico, there's no reason to think that he said that as a joke.
