Sunset in the Park, Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Alamogordo NM, November 14, 2011%
Nice
We do like these western sunsets.
See those yuccas in the foreground? That's where the pair of Curve-billed Thrashers were hanging out the other day. They stayed just long enough for me to grab my camera and get a bunch of shots before they went on about their business.
We do like those serendipitous moments too.

- 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)

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.
