Cory's Pink

To the east of Albuquerque lie the Sandia Mountains, and this is the highest in the group - Sandia Peak. It doesn't look too pink in this picture, but the story is that the mountains got their name by the pink color they turn when the sunset hits them. "Sandia", of course, is the Spanish word for "watermelon".

And that means that Sandia National Laboratory, which is also in Albuquerque, could be called Watermelon National Laboratory.
