Organ Mountains from Leasburg Dam State Park, Radium Springs NM, January 22, 2009
Where have I gone?
Nowhere - I'm still here at Leasburg Dam State Park on my favorite site. this site has no electric hookups so I've been struggling with power management. The two solar panels I'm using to supply power are having a hard time keeping up at this time of year and I'm not using my laptop, by far my largest power hog, a great deal. So I haven't been editing pictures and by extension haven't been updating these pages. All is well and I'll get back here soon, once I get a couple of projects behind me. Really. I will {grin}.
It's a dusty sunrise
Beautiful. There's just enough dust in the air and a few wispy clouds this morning to create the illumination you see in that old pic above. Wow! Maybe I should have gotten out a bit before the sun popped over the mountains to take a few shots. Ah well...

Running With the Pack
Hardly anyone out there is going to take this seriously, but TV changes you. The kicker is that if you watch it all the time, you'll never know, which under normal circumstances ought to scare you shitless...
No amount of sermonizing will make a difference here, so I'll move on. But I'm telling you, it's true. If you disconnect from the medium long enough to stop associating certain days and times with TV shows you're used to watching, you WILL be different, with values and behavior that arise from sources you never knew existed. There is no arguing with this, you simply have to experience it.
