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.

A Theory of the State

States have a peculiar dual character. They are at the same time forms of institutionalized raiding or extortion, and utopian projects. The first certainly reflects the way states are actually experienced, by any communities that retain some degree of autonomy; the second however is how they tend to appear in the written record.
