Will I ever catch up
I'm still trying to catch up with my internet backlog from the Verizon Broadband Access outage here at the park and now the main circuit breaker in the rig overheated and died. Now today I'll have to pack up and go into town for a new breaker.
Will it never end with all these maintenance issues I've been dealing with ever since I bought this rig? It's been as bad as buying a 20 year old house - everything is wearing out at the same time. Ah well, once I get through it LD should be good to go for another 15 - 20 years. I sure hope so.
Night camp
Site 7 - Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM
- Verizon cell phone service - good signal
- Verizon EVDO service - very good signal and access speed ( I have to qualify this - during my January 2008 visit the signal and access speed was excellent - in January 2009 it was practically non-existent during the day and slow at night with unpredictable short periods of excellent access)

Growing up... it never stops
I am enjoying finally growing up, but guess what, boys and girls? It NEVER STOPS!!! For the record, there is no point where everything is "solved" and fine and enlightened and fixed in perpetual harmony and light. Oh, for a while, certainly. For years at a time, even. But soon you reach the next divide, hoho, and then it's grow or die a living death. The lucky ones keep struggling and discovering, challenging themselves, no matter how old they are. Don't believe anything else. NONE OF THIS IS LIKE IT SEEMS.
