After seeing Jane off at the Albuquerque Sunport this morning for her ride home to Fairbanks I headed back to Elephant Butte to hang out here for a few more days before I begin the long trek east to Red Rock for the summer.

As My Breathing Evened Out
As my breathing evened out, I began to notice other sensations. The water felt different from any other water I'd ever swum in, as if it were more solid than fluid, as though I were swimming through a liquid Sno-Kone. [swimming in 33 degree water / 34 degree air]
