Spring is in the air

I had a great visit with friends and relatives in the Las Vegas area and now it's time to head back to New York. I like this little campground and decided to land here again on this first leg of my return to New Mexico to spend a few days with my new Lazy Daze friends before I start the long ride east.

Shopping for sensation

The purest example of human shopping I know of can be seen by watching a child go through life touching absolutely everything. You’re watching that child shop for information, for understanding, for knowledge, for experience, for sensation. Especially for sensation, otherwise why would he have to touch or smell or taste or hear anything twice? Keep looking: Watch a dog. Watch a bird. Watch a bug. You might say the ant is searching for suitable food. I say he is shopping.
