Dawn on the Ridge, Looking West, Escalante UT, April 14, 2011
Making a supply run
After spending a few days on the ridge east of Escalante UT I needed some supplies. Groceries mostly. And the cell phone and internet service I assumed I'd find in town. And a laundromat. So off I went, first to Torrey and when that didn't pan out I continued west to Loa where I found groceries. Sort of - the selection is rather limited in this rural area. Then back to Bicknell, between Loa and Torrey, for a serviceable laundromat at a motel, and great 3G Verizon broadband service. A successful day overall - now it's back into the canyon at Fruita for a few days.

People are Themselves
I hadn't realized before I wrote "Are You Somebody" that I for one need constantly to relearn a simple thing - that I do not understand other people as they understand themselves. Rob's reaction, and much more importantly, Nell's, made me understand that I am one person and other people are themselves, and not what I have decided they are.
