Late Afternoon at Site 4, Cygnus, City of Rocks State Park, Faywood NM, March 1, 2012
A tight fit
It was a tight fit but I managed to maneuver the rig and trailer into this nice site.
This is probably my favorite New Mexico State Park and it's been a couple of years since I've been here for an extended stay and I think I'll stay a while. The rock formations are endlessly fascinating and photogenic and I want to see if I can get some more pictures to add to the tantalizing earlier ones I've been posting here the last few days.

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."
