Sunset in the Park, Elk City Reservoir - April 30, 2008
Elk City State Park campground
My black tank needs to take a dump making a night in a campground a desirable departure from my usual Wal-Mart parking lot thing and what a fine campground this is. Elk City State Park has some beautiful modern campgrounds on the east side of Elk City Reservoir and I bagged a site right at waters edge. Nice. Nice sunset over the lake to boot.

Politics and the English Language
....Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. One cannot change this all in a moment, but one can at least change one's own habits, and from time to time one can even, if one jeers loudly enough, send some worn-out and useless phrase -- some jackboot, Achilles' heel, hotbed, melting pot, acid test, veritable inferno, or other lump of verbal refuse -- into the dustbin, where it belongs.
