Hard times in the desert
This little corner of the Chihuahuan Desert seems to be extraordinarily dry. Too dry for cactus at least. A large percentage of the cactus here are either dead or seriously wilted. Something has changed - many of these are very big plants.

Monopoly Money
During the 1990s I knew all the dot-coms would go to hell, because when I thought about them the only images I saw were rented office space and computers that would be obsolete in two years. There wasn't anything real I could picture; the companies had no hard assets. My stockbroker asked me how I knew the two stock market crashes would happen, and I told him, "When the Monopoly play money starts jerking around the real money you're in trouble."
