Arriving at Oliver Lee, January 18, 2008
Enough already
I've had enough traveling for now. I'm going to chill here at Oliver Lee for a while. Kick back with a good book. Clean the road grime off the rig. Maybe do a leather project or two. Start assessing the motorcycle rebuild project. Take a hike.
Night camp
Site 6 - Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM
- Verizon cell phone service - good signal
- Verizon EVDO service - very good signal and access speed ( I have to qualify this - during my January 2008 visit the signal and access speed was excellent - in January 2009 it was practically non-existent during the day and slow at night with unpredictable short periods of excellent access)

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?
