Meeting new friends
The world of the Lazy Daze RV is a relatively small one. Lazy Daze custom builds only a couple of hundred rigs a years and while they've been at it for fifty years now and a high proportion of the rigs they have built are still going strong, that's still a very small proportion of millions (I'm guessing here) of rigs on the road so it's a pleasure meeting fellow travelers amongst this select group.
As I mentioned yesterday, Andy is the moderator of the Yahoo Life With A Lazy Daze RV discussion group. His dear friends Kate and Terry, traveling with their Lazy Daze, Cholula Red, are also well known in the Lazy Daze community. I'm delighted to finally get to meet these folks.
Night camp
Site 8 - Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM
- Verizon cell phone service - good signal
- Verizon EVDO service - very good signal and access speed ( I have to qualify this - during my January 2008 visit the signal and access speed was excellent - in January 2009 it was practically non-existent during the day and slow at night with unpredictable short periods of excellent access)

Playing and Learning and Loving
..There is a Byzantium, but not the one Yeats writes about. There is another country the aging occupy and which we share with children. Its borders are formed by the animal that arises in puberty and subsides with the onset of wisdom. It is a land where seven and seventy are kin. Where there are no concerns other than playing and learning and loving. The inhabitants of this land are in no hurry. Our days are dense with experiences. We have, as the Spanish say, more time than life.
