This will be a nice quiet place to take a break from all the traveling of the last couple of weeks and I think I'll stay through the weekend. If I didn't have to be out of the park system for the next New Mexico employee furlough on the 15th I might stay longer. All the parks will be closed the nights of the 14th and 15th and I'll have to find a night camp elsewhere those nights. What a pain.

The SEEKING Circuit

This part of the brain starts firing when the animal sees a sign that food might be nearby but stops firing when the animal sees the actual food itself. The SEEKING circuit fires during the search for food, not during the final locating or eating of the food. It's the search that feels so good.
