Prickly pear, Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM, January 8, 2009
I want to get this thought down before I lose it
To paraphrase Groucho Marx: Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside a dog, it’s too dark to read except on an iPhone.
Or iPod touch in my case. Love it. Especially while boondocking - no external light source needed, unlike the Kindle or Sony reader.
I'll have to come back and expand on this. Thanks to Nick Russell for the tickle on his blog this morning.

Site 7 - 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)
