LD and I pass the test
LD, this old Lazy Daze RV, and I passed the test with flying colors - the test to see if my twenty year old dream of traveling full time about the country via RV has legs.
It has legs alright - strong, sturdy legs.
It's been a great trip. This old Lazy Daze has proven to be a comfortable place to live and has taken me to many new places and introduced me to some wonderful new friends this past winter that I want get to know better. I can hardly wait to get back out there again next fall to continue the adventure. Balloon Fiesta here we come!

A Theory of the State
States have a peculiar dual character. They are at the same time forms of institutionalized raiding or extortion, and utopian projects. The first certainly reflects the way states are actually experienced, by any communities that retain some degree of autonomy; the second however is how they tend to appear in the written record.
