Spring snow and rain in Arizona

This isn't the weather I traveled so far for this winter. I spent much of the day in and out of rain and, at the higher elevations near Prescott, snow, and temperatures colder than I really expected to find out here in the southwest. I finally left behind the families parked on the roadside having snowball fights about 50 miles east of Hoover Dam.

Mix With the World

I am convinced our own happiness requires that we should continue to mix with the world, and to keep pace with it. . . . I can speak from experience on the subject. From 1793 to 1797, I remained closely at home, saw none but those who came there, and at length became very sensible of the ill effect it had upon my mind, and of its direct and irresistible tendency to render me unfit for society, and uneasy when necessarily engaged in it. I felt enough of the effect of withdrawing from the world then to see that it led to an anti-social and misanthropic state of mind, which severely punishes him who gives in to it; and it will be a lesson I never shall forget as to myself.
