And if you watch the opening 30 seconds or so of that video again, I think Bill Whaley pretty much comes right out and nails it. This is a very intense place and not an easy town to live in. Understanding of the "Taos lesson" comes inevitably to those who plop their bags down and try to make it here. That's why I always say that anyone wanting to "retire" in el Norte is a flaming idiot.
