...Mountain West offers them things they have been unable to find elsewhere: more space, cleaner air, fewer people, less crime. They arrive with their own lifestyles and slowly begin to transform the places where they settle. In Sandpoint, Idaho, a favorite refuge of disillusioned Californians, boutiques and craft shops flourish and stores sell wooden tubs for outdoor bathing. Newcomers may even revive an entire town in their image. Twenty-five miles south of Santa Fe, in the Ortiz Mountains, lies the hamlet of Madrid (pop. 250).

...flood? The wilting cotton in fields to the east-some of it, at least-would revive and make it to market after all. The sparse grama and buffalo grass that sheep and cattle had been browsing, almost a blade at a time, would, by West Texas standards, flourish. No wonder that Tom Randall, San Angelo's Cadillac dealer, tripled his sales in the days after the rain...
