Recovering, San Antonio NM, February 5, 2011
The worst is over
I hope. I awoke this morning to a sunny day knowing I had to fill my water tank before nightfall. It's running on fumes. Then I discovered my efforts to conserve water these last few days meant I was not using enough to keep the sink drains from freezing. The pipe into the gray water tank froze. I got that thawed out just in time to learn the park's water supply is shut down due to a broken faucet. Billy was going to open a frostproof faucet for me; now he's got to do a little plumbing first. Uh - oh...
Storms over
The park faucet got fixed, I took on water, and all is good to go. Phew! we made through it with no significant damage to the rig or my psyche.

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.
