Snag, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, San Antonio NM, February 25, 2010
A managed environment
The Bosque is a carefully managed environment. Hang around a while and you begin to realize water levels in the ponds and wetlands are constantly monitored and adjusted. Food is grown and distributed for the wildlife. The ponds are drained and the grasses mowed. Even the snags the raptors to perch on grew up elsewhere.

Stay What You Always Were
My sisters have been listening to me all my life and vice versa, and there's a limit to how interesting we find each other. Which is one of the reasons, surely -- this is exactly the kind of thought that didn't come up in conversation -- that it is at least as stifling as it is comforting to be with family. It doesn't allow its members to experiment with themselves. The penalty for being loyally accepted for the whole of your life is that you must stay what you always were.
