Today I thought I might spend the night at the Walmart Supercenter in Safford AZ but, alas, I'm not welcome to overnight there. So I headed up to the AZ border near Mule Creek NM. It's colder up here but the ride up through the Apache National Forest is spectacular and worth a bit of suffering.

The SEEKING Circuit

This part of the brain starts firing when the animal sees a sign that food might be nearby but stops firing when the animal sees the actual food itself. The SEEKING circuit fires during the search for food, not during the final locating or eating of the food. It's the search that feels so good.
