Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM, January 9, 2009
Will I ever catch up
I'm still trying to catch up with my internet backlog from the Verizon Broadband Access outage here at the park and now the main circuit breaker in the rig overheated and died. Now today I'll have to pack up and go into town for a new breaker.
Will it never end with all these maintenance issues I've been dealing with ever since I bought this rig? It's been as bad as buying a 20 year old house - everything is wearing out at the same time. Ah well, once I get through it LD should be good to go for another 15 - 20 years. I sure hope so.

- 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)

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.
