Photo Shoot, Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu NM, December 22, 2009
Brrrrr... 1:30AM and it's already 5 degrees below zero. Last winter, camped down at Leasburg Dam State Park, I met fellow fulltimer Jan, living in his Honda sports car, who observed that the temperature drops noticeably an hour or two before sunrise. Will tonight's low break LD's record 10 below set just last night? [6:30AM] Nope - didn't happen - in fact it warmed up a tad to -3 degrees.
Where will I find warm enough weather in the next week to thaw the tanks in time for the next dump? I may have to take a southern route to Las Vegas this week to get enough hours above freezing to thaw the tanks. The shorter I-40 route won't see much above 32 degrees for most of the way.

Something Useful Can Be Artful
A life, I believe - lived well and openly - with a certain sort of careful attention to form and function - creates art - or, at the very least, inspires it. I believe that art is contained in the ordinary events, that the small things we see and hear and learn everyday provide opportunities to explore parts of ourselves or our society in a way that can actually produce art. Whether it is a story you leave behind or one you take with you, I believe that any given situation is rich with opportunities to participate in the creation of something useful that can also be artful.
