Two nights at Walmart
Spending two nights in a row at Walmart goes against my grain - I don't want to wear out my welcome here. I spent the day today working on some wiring in the rig here within walking distance of Home Depot where I could get parts as I needed them. By the time I was done on this muggy day I decided to just stay another night. After all, tomorrow is Saturday; the Farmer's Market will be on and I can do the laundry I meant to do today before heading back to Red Rock.

Fit In Better
We Americans hail from families of immigrants newly arrived, seeking approval from better-established immigrants deposited by the previous boat. Even the best adjusted of us have inherited a message of social inferiority from generations of moms telling generations of kids to fit in better, speak English better, display better manners, etc. I suggest that this heritage weighs on us more than we want to acknowledge at levels we don't want to address.
