An oil field, a guy walking a dog, and a brunette on a swing (who kept staring at us -- and she was the one waving her arms about). That's the long and short of Bloomfield, in my experience.

Check out this sign: sturdy, colorful, crafted with pride. Bloomfield, New Mexico.	Just before and after entering the city limits, we're greeted with Conoco oil fields.	Of the places we wandered about, the neighborhoods were more or less like this.
For reasons unknown, this girl kept staring, so I took a pic. Which caused her to yell, "hey!"	No pictgure of the guy walking his dog -- we've all seen that just around the 'hood.
