Ok, let's get this show on the road
It's been an interesting summer and a warm fall in Red Rock but winter looms ahead and it's time to get this ol' RV to a warmer spot on the globe.
The plan was to get my affairs in order and start my fall migration earlier this year. A mid October departure seemed about right. November starts to get a bit chilly in Red Rock and I thought I might skip a bit of that nonsense this year. And I would have but things didn't go quite to plan and, well, here it is mid November again. Ah well, off we go...
Guess I'll wander southward until the spirit sends me west. I have no specific goals in mind for this winter much beyond spending time in New Mexico messing with my photography and leatherworking interests that got rather neglected this summer.

From Knowledge to Wisdom
Wisdom is a product of a process. This process begins with information, proceeds through knowledge, and through what a less gifted poet, Edgar Guest, called "a heap of living," ends in wisdom.
... Wisdom, when it comes, usually arrives late in life. I've known some people who were wise in their early thirties and others who died old without a clue. Most philosophers were of the mind that a person should be at least forty years of age to have enough learning experiences. Now it seems that it is much too young. The step from knowledge to wisdom is the longest one in a person's life.
