Office, Pancho Villa State Park, Columbus NM, January 8, 2010
This will be a nice quiet place to take a break from all the traveling of the last couple of weeks and I think I'll stay through the weekend. If I didn't have to be out of the park system for the next New Mexico employee furlough on the 15th I might stay longer. All the parks will be closed the nights of the 14th and 15th and I'll have to find a night camp elsewhere those nights. What a pain.

Shopping for sensation
The purest example of human shopping I know of can be seen by watching a child go through life touching absolutely everything. You’re watching that child shop for information, for understanding, for knowledge, for experience, for sensation. Especially for sensation, otherwise why would he have to touch or smell or taste or hear anything twice? Keep looking: Watch a dog. Watch a bird. Watch a bug. You might say the ant is searching for suitable food. I say he is shopping.
