Big sky lunch break, US60 east of Panhandle TX, April 30, 2009
Now to work on sharing my pictures
It's time to get to work. Quite unexpectedly there is a FAST internet connection here in Pampa over Verizon's Extended Network. I've had glimpses of a fast connection occasionally on Verizon's Extended Network but it has been fleeting at best. I get the feeling the network speed gets throttled back as soon as it discovers I'm on as a Verizon EVDO customer. Can that be?
[Time passes] Ok, let's try this. I'm not really happy with it but it will do for a first go.

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.
