After the Blow, Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM, November 21, 2011
A bit of a blow
We had a bit of a blow here yesterday. A sandstorm brownout and brief shower that then washed the dust off and cleared the air. Beautiful.
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)

Vision, Novelty and Fear
Animals see more intense contrasts of light and dark because their night vision is so much better than ours. Good night vision involves excellent vision for contrasts and relatively poor color vision.
