Prickly pear, Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM, January 8, 2009
Sheesh indeed
It looks like we're only allowed decent access here on the weekends. My guess is there is some major equipment overhaul work going on in Verizon's world.
Want to wager Broadband Access comes up mid morning tomorrow, like it did last Friday?
Grumble.
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)

Was Love Then
Was love then like a bag of assorted sweets passed around from which one might choose more than once? Some might sting the tongue, some invoke night perfume. Some had centers as bitter as gall, some blended honey and poison, some were quickly swallowed. And among the common bull's-eyes and peppermints a few rare ones; one or two with deadly needles at the heart, another that brought calm and gentle pleasure. Were his fingers closing on that one?
