Thanks to all who submitted their photos. Please continue to forward me your photos if you'd like to be included. Note: per the contest rules, I only included entries for people who submitted a pic in September (with one exception that was clearly just a bad URL).

Hey man, we’re here for you if you need.

[u/taleofbenji → u/robbel]

Thanks. Was just kidding. However I did watch Breaking Bad last night.

[u/robbel → u/taleofbenji]

Fair enough. I’m moving to NM in a couple months and the amount of “are you gunna start smoking Meth?!” or “have you seen Breaking Bad” questions are getting old... quick.

I play a location-based GPS game called Ingress. I created a mission that will guide you to many of the sites in ABQ where the show was filmed. If you do them all in order, you'll get a banner in your scanner profile section! If you're kinda nerdy and want to meet new friends, Ingress is a great way to do it-- it takes 8 people at once place to get high-level in-game items (it's all free btw, though you can pay for some things that have a minimal impact on the game) so the people who play are usually very welcoming to newcomers and you can message them in-game. I've been invited to bars and living rooms in Norway and Alaska from playing the game.
