Greeting a New Day, Canada Geese, Dugway Ramp Recreation Area, Sinclair WY, May 1, 2011
Cold
Geeze it's cold - 10 degrees or so at dawn - but with a bright sunny sky emerging. And, a nice surprise, three American White Pelicans sleeping on the riverbank.

Met a local today who said it the weather is shaping up to become a repeat of last year - a cold spring followed by a sudden warmup and flooding when the heavy mountain snowpack melts.

Privileges
It would be possible, of course, to feel contempt for people entirely oblivious of the power structure within which they had their own security. But what do people in general know about how their privileges relate to their fellow citizens' lack of privileges? Is it possible, even, to live with an exact knowledge of where you yourself stand in the network of human exploitation?
