New Mexico State Parks Annual Camping Permit
The New Mexico State Parks Annual Camping Permit program is a fantastic bargain for those of us who camp at their State Parks regularly. For out of state residents the charge is $225.00, entitling one to free camping in Primitive and Developed Sites without water and electric hookups. There is an extra charge of $4.00 per night for Developed sites with electric and water hookups. The permit is good until the end of the month of the year following purchase so buying the permit today gets me a permit good through February 28, 2010. That's 13 months camping for $225.00. Plus hookups when I want them. Not a bad deal.

Passing Time in Byzantium
..Byzantium has begun to look suspiciously like my hometown. It has the same people, the same houses, the same goings and comings. But I am a very wise child seeing things very differently. The activities and interests of adults mystify me. They appear senseless. It is like watching the TV with the sound off--and suddenly realizing how ridiculous people actually are.
I expect adults will in turn regard me as ridiculous. Actions people might accept in a child may not seem appropriate in a grandfather. I won't be distressed. I am looking forward to new heroes and new adventures. And if you ask me where I've been I'll say "out"; and if you ask me what I've been doing I'll say "nothing."
