Blue Mountain Sunrise, South Monticello Point, Elephant Butte Lake State Park, Elephant Butte NM, April 4, 2009
I'm on the move - headed northward toward Albuquerque to pick my friend Jane at the airport tomorrow. She's flying in for what is becoming her annual visit. It's great she can get away from Fairbanks for a few days and I get to share a bit of New Mexico with her before I head east for the summer.

The Value of Time
Time is the most valuable and finite commodity that any living thing has. Think about it, everything – you, me, people, plants, animals, even the Earth itself – has a limited and set amount of time. From the moment we come into existence, we begin an inevitable march to a final end. Even the age of our solar system exists in but a minute of time within the context of the history of the universe. The average human lifespan does not even register on that clock. With that said, in many ways, time is the very definition of life itself.
