Tomorrow I'm moving to City of Rocks State Park
New Mexico State Parks limit ones stay to 3 weeks at which time one must leave the park for 6 nights before returning. But I don't plan to return to Rockhound on this trip. Later in the month I'll be visiting friends in Las Vegas so it's time to start drifting westward again. So I'll spend a few days at City of Rocks State Park, a few miles north of Deming, New Mexico, and then move on.

Politics and the English Language
....Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. One cannot change this all in a moment, but one can at least change one's own habits, and from time to time one can even, if one jeers loudly enough, send some worn-out and useless phrase -- some jackboot, Achilles' heel, hotbed, melting pot, acid test, veritable inferno, or other lump of verbal refuse -- into the dustbin, where it belongs.
