This picture, posted to my Instagram feed (jhcoxon) got one response, a perfect "Swim to America and freeze your ass off" from Jack.
Moving day
Today was moving day. My allowed three weeks at Paseo del Rio expired and I needed to leave the park for a week and not feeling like going far I moved downstream 20 miles to the riverside primitive camping at Caballo Lake State Park. I think I might stay here a while - this is a nice spot.

Monopoly Money
During the 1990s I knew all the dot-coms would go to hell, because when I thought about them the only images I saw were rented office space and computers that would be obsolete in two years. There wasn't anything real I could picture; the companies had no hard assets. My stockbroker asked me how I knew the two stock market crashes would happen, and I told him, "When the Monopoly play money starts jerking around the real money you're in trouble."
