The Friday after the first and the fifteenth is always busy, but I saw something yesterday in both towns I have not seen before - lines of up to 100 or more cars and trucks lined up for the drive-up banking, with the lines extending blocks down the streets.
In Santa Fe, police had officers at the intersections directing traffic, allowing people to exit the bank lots. Absolutely insane.
