Bath house, South Monticello Area, Elephant Butte Lake State Park, Elephant Butte NM, April 18, 2009
My new photo gallery
This picture of the bath house here at South Monticello I took yesterday finally got me energized enough to work on setting up a photo gallery of my favorite pictures, something I've wanted to do for a long time now. It's still very much a work in progress but go have a look.
The bottom line
...if you’re young, dear God, don’t try to live the way your parents did. You don’t need three bedrooms, although a roof is nice. Get the hell outa Dodge and stir things up. Leave! Adapt! Believe in yourself! Have fun! The bottom line is, do I have shelter and enough to eat. Everything else is optional. EVERYTHING! There are no rules!!! Just keep it simple: get that first bit down, no matter how, and you can get creative with the rest.

Privileges
It would be possible, of course, to feel contempt for people entirely oblivious of the power structure within which they had their own security. But what do people in general know about how their privileges relate to their fellow citizens' lack of privileges? Is it possible, even, to live with an exact knowledge of where you yourself stand in the network of human exploitation?
