Sunset in the Park, Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM, November 14, 2011%
Nice
We do like these western sunsets.
See those yuccas in the foreground? That's where the pair of Curve-billed Thrashers were hanging out the other day. They stayed just long enough for me to grab my camera and get a bunch of shots before they went on about their business.
We do like those serendipitous moments too.

- 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)

From Knowledge to Wisdom
Wisdom is a product of a process. This process begins with information, proceeds through knowledge, and through what a less gifted poet, Edgar Guest, called "a heap of living," ends in wisdom.
... Wisdom, when it comes, usually arrives late in life. I've known some people who were wise in their early thirties and others who died old without a clue. Most philosophers were of the mind that a person should be at least forty years of age to have enough learning experiences. Now it seems that it is much too young. The step from knowledge to wisdom is the longest one in a person's life.
