Morning at Site B4, Santa Rosa Lake State Park, Santa Rosa NM, May 10, 2012
Aaargh
Pulling out of the Flying C Ranch gas station off I-40 this afternoon I bounced over a bump a little too aggressively. Now I find stuff falling off the walls in the trailer. Aaargh...
I don't think any damage has been done but I have an hour or two's work ahead of me in the morning getting everything battened down again. Securing stuff adequately in a moving vehicle, even after all these years of trying, still eludes me at times. Bah.

Shopping for sensation
The purest example of human shopping I know of can be seen by watching a child go through life touching absolutely everything. You’re watching that child shop for information, for understanding, for knowledge, for experience, for sensation. Especially for sensation, otherwise why would he have to touch or smell or taste or hear anything twice? Keep looking: Watch a dog. Watch a bird. Watch a bug. You might say the ant is searching for suitable food. I say he is shopping.
