On the road again!

In the Deming NM public library. They took my drivers' license....... What if I forget to get it back and drive 1,000 mules before I realize I don't have it? Spent last night among sand hill cranes and went slowly mad trying to photograph them using my digital video camera. There they were in perfect pose but by the time I got the photos their heads were turned away. Slept in the tent. It rained in the night but was bone dry by morning. Maybe I dreamed the rain. Trying to take it easy and not go too far each day. Realized what I don't like about music. It's linear. It disappears as it appears. paintings and poems don't do that. Even movies and video somehow imprint themselves in parts of my brain which retains, visually at least some of what I have seen, but music, especially without words just lumbers through my ears and disappears. I was half asleep listening to the radio and it occurred to me that I was seeing these elephant like hills blundering past. I still remember the image, but not the music. Oh well
