Got a Fly, Oasis State Park, Portales NM, November 1, 2011
Got a fly
In a swatting frenzy before I flew out of Oasis this morning I broke my hi-zoot designer swatter with the big comfort grip handle and light plastic head.
Met a guy here at Sumner Lake who opened his door (at another park) and in came 145 flies. Wish I had only a 145 fly problem...
[Later] I got the herd pretty well under control with a new cheap, strong, WallyWorld flyswatter in concert with some good old-fashioned fly paper.

To Remember Safely
The trick is not to forget, but to remember safely. Oh no, I know I cannot walk on the old pathways - use the old patterns to cut new dresses - but I must not forget them, or the experiences that gave rise to them. I am what I am, with the views I have, with the desires and skills and talents that I may possess, because of what I have been. I know what I know because I have lived what I have lived. To have any sort of wisdom without paying for the acquisition of it is not possible.
